There are posters all around my university that say: "If your friends can't have fun without alcohol, maybe you need new friends." That statement makes me uncomfortable. I would much rather the posters said something like this: "If your friends can't have fun without alcohol, maybe you should talk to them about it/help them with their problem."
What about "If your friends don't know how to make a mixed drinks you need friends."

I agree with you that moderation is key. Nothing wrong with a getting to with friends to have a good time, and maybe having a drink or so, which is a bit different than getting together for the sole purpose of getting out of your mind drunk.
