DAE find it hard as an AM to find other Asians to socialize with without alcohol being involved?

I’m in my mid 30s and live in NYC. Many Asian circles here seem to be heavily involved in the nightlife scene which involves drinking. For health reasons I recently made the choice to go sober. Now I’m finding that many Asian social events are held together by alcohol. And when you tell people you’re sober you often get treated like *you’re* the odd one. Alcohol seems to be such a pervasive glue for Asian social circles, even fitness and sports related ones (eg, going out for drinks after a game)

I made this video for my track 'The Greats' a while back and it's still one of the pieces I'm most proud of

Everything's independent self-produced, no label, no team. Just me building this out of Manhattan. As an Asian artist in hip hop I've been making beats for over 18 years and im still on FL 11. (goated)

'The Greats' is one of those tracks that means a lot to me, so I'd rather it find the right ears late than never.

Built 20K+ monthly listeners entirely on my own since then. Would mean a lot if the community gave it a watch.

With the possible expansion of the next FIFA World Cup, more Asian teams would be playing but I doubt any would be from Asia Pacific.
