sounds like the social situation needs to change, not the explanation.
assuming you're in your 20s now... don't worry, by age 35 there's less explaining and less criticizing.

I was probably getting close to alcoholism myself and felt touchy around people that didn't drink (well, only the ones that announced it every chance they got, but then it feels like a judgement not a statement). I drank every day basically (and not ONE beer either), but when I went to moderate myself it wasn't too difficult; now I drink less than a handful of times a month.
