I view alcohol culture differently after taking shrooms and it's affecting my relationships

I live in Wisconsin where being an alcoholic is not only the norm, but it's encouraged. "You're not drinking?? What's wrong with you??" Almost everyone I know is an alcoholic, including my family. And now because I'm not, spending time with them isn't like it used to be. I don't drink at all anymore, and I can't help judging people who do.

It's not that I think I'm better than them, it's that I view them as addicts with a disease that are slowly destroying their bodies. I didn't know that drinking alcohol increases your risk of cancer, I just knew it hurt your liver. I only found out after doing my own research.

Now every time I'm with family and I see them with a drink constantly in their hands and joking about their alcoholic tendencies, I can't help but cringe. I don't want to be a buzzkill so I keep my mouth shut for the most part, but I really want them to know they are shortening their lives with every drink and that there are so many better ways to have a good time.

I know mental health has a lot to do with it as most people use substances to get through life and I get that, but I just want to help them. I want to teach them everything I've learned through mushrooms and meditation. But they cling to their bottles. And I feel sorry for them.
