In my recent dating experience, I seem to be encountering an imbalance of fun in the men I am meeting. Some don't drink at all, some are so hungover they have to cancel. I'm beginning to appreciate moderation more and more.
Though I have been known to have a drink or two in my day-I mean please, I'm as Irish as they come- once I hit 24 the hangover after a night at the bar doing shots became unbearable. While I still like to go out and have a good time, I think my puking days are over. And somehow, I'm having trouble finding a person who can meet me there in the middle.
Mama's boy didn't drink at all. My roommate immediately called deal breaker. I defended my position, "It doesn't matter, as long as he can still have fun." Sure enough, homeboy was humorless, he never would have lasted amongst my jovial bunch of friends. Broken deal.

as the wise, sagely roommate - i still call deal breaker!
seriously though, i think it's difficult to find moderation with people who engage in consumption in a way that's opposite your own. give and take is wonderful, and eventually, a necessary thing - but when you're in the midst of those first few dates, it's nice to have someone who exists socially on your same level.
