pubs & clubs

Do we, as alcoholics, go to pubs, clubs & events where alcohol is served?
For me personally, if I have a valid reason to be there such as listening to a band; a birthday party etc, I feel very comfortable with being in this enviroment.
I feel that I have been taught IN AA how to live OUT OF AA and to be part of the mainstream of society without feeling "less than" or "more than" the rest of the population.
We must feel safe in our sobriety, though, to do this. When in doubt, I talk to my sponsor.
What do you feel or think about this?

I know if you are spiritualy fit you can hang out among drinking . B ut for me I know hanging out in bars is like hanging out in barber shops if I do it too oftrn or too long I will probably get a haircut.
