Is drinking necessary for you to feel alive?

I haven't had a drink in my whole life yet and I still feel happy with my life but a friend of mine told me that I am missing out on the highs you get when you drink, the hyperactivity in the moment and what not.
I just don't get the craze about it.
What do you guys think can you enjoy a great life without drinking? And am I missing something?
