Sounds to me like you're not really tired of the alcohol so much as you're tired of your friends...
My friends can be getting smashed and we have never had a single fight. Little arguments here and there, but I am usually that person and I can shut if off no matter how drunk I may be... Getting black out drunk is for college kids.
I definitely share your perception of making friends. That's part of why I moved back to my home town. Spent a year actively trying to make friends and didn't make a single one. And I am not shy. I even tried to hide my weirdness from everyone lol. There's something about western culture, in my opinion. Every conversation with a stranger is somehow awkward.

I’ve kind of lost my tolerance to being around drinkers. Some people I’m fine with being around and some I’m not. Interestingly, my level of tolerance to being around a person drinking seems to directly correlate with where they’re at on the possible alcoholic spectrum. Like my uncle for instance, no problem at all being around him and he is certainly not an alkie. Some people I’ve met though, start easy talking, telling those ‘amazing’ stories and getting loud and annoying... I choose not to be around them and chances are they’re at some level an alcoholic.
There’s subtle personality and behavioral traits that start to build a pattern to where you can see what’s coming. Two or so drinks in and I can see where this is going.

maybe it wasn't so clear in the way i worded my post, but yeah, pretty much.
my problem isn't so much with alcohol, but with how people behave while on it. and there isn't much to choose from out here in belgrade, MT in the way of new friends. i do kind of want to move back to AZ to be closer to my friends, but everything else up here is great. i like my job, like the scenery, weather, etc.
and i'm over the fucking heat. no way will i ever live in the desert again.

It seems like most people I meet nowdays are alcoholics. I see that as a lack of other options and hopefully things change a bit as weed is more legalized & normalized. some people alcohol is just their fave and theyre gonna get drunk everynight regardless.

Thank you!
And yes, get away from those "friends". It kind of sucks being lonely, but it's better than having that shit/stress around you all the time. Find new people to hang with.
