I don't see much of a point in abstaining from premarital sex and alcohol just for the sake of morals, in this case, but that's probably because I haven't held such morals in high esteem in my own life. You're welcome to point it out, though, and you're welcome to feel that following such morals is important.
I can come up with reasons not to drink. Of course, drinking excessively can lead to bad physical health and embarrassing situations. Other than that, using drinking to drunkenness as a socializing tool can a problem, if you become dependant on, as dom180 has already stated.
Avoid ending up with separate worlds for drunk/drinking and sober. I remember, how, at university, there was guy whom I didn't talk to when sober but greeted when drunk.
If you want to, then try getting a bit drunk, preferably you'll have a couple of friends there to help you if you drink too much. See, if it works for you or not, perhaps you can use it as an ice breaker.
Overall, don't worry too much about the drinking part. Instead, work on the talking to people you like-part.
Am I too reserved?
