Sure your friends are the best! – So, we will talk about someone else’s friends…. OK? 
I don’t need to remind you about social pressure, “pressure to be like others around you”… But then, unless you are very strong to resist such kind of pressure (and believe me it could be very strong!), you will be in troubles sooner or later.
- Do you picture Russians as people who drink a lot of alcohol? – There is a reason for it – in average Russian people consume amount of alcohol many times larger than any right-minded health organization would allow. And they consume bad (= not a good wine) alcohol. Many of them will fight you if you are in a drinking company and refuse to drink with them. How is that for “social pressure”?
- Do you picture Americans as overweight nation? – There is a reason for that – friends of that poor person go to you-know-what-places and eat you-know-what.
- Do you hang out with people who smoke? And you? – Do you know that health organizations claim that about 50% of men who smoke are impotent? Sounds sexy?
Those of course all Russians and Americans from another planet and smoking is not proven to be bad for your health on your planet.
And we all (most of us) are living in free countries, free to choose what we say, what we do and who are our friends! — I agree. Then – choose wisely…
P.S. And if you are a parent – help your children to choose before they learn how to. Children are free to do mistakes just as all of us – but you don’t have to sit waiting for them to repeat all the mistakes you did… Oh, sorry, not mistakes you did – but some random guy from another planet we were talking about all this time.
P.P.S. I would say that same comment applies if you are a friend… But I know you don’t need to hear it – because your friends are perfect! 
P.P.P.S. Do your friends support and go with you to practice Yoga or is it more like: well if once a year I’m really bored and all my friends are out of town – then I go for my practice…
