Nothing wrong with socializing when it is desired.
Nothing wrong with alcohol when it is desired.
The problem is, desires aren't a very good indicator of whether something is or isn't healthy. Not desiring vegetables doesn't mean they aren't good for you to eat. Cultural conditioning to make social interaction undesirable doesn't mean that it is good to follow the culture. Culture itself causes a lot of problems in this world, so I don't rely on ingrained culture to bring about good outcomes for individuals or societies. If anything, I think people should heavily review their culture and see how much of it is harmful - and then attempt to change behaviors.
