How to navigate friendship when some friends get sober

My closest friend group from college has been planning our annual reunion trip but three of us are sober now and two still drink heavily, and nobody wants to be the one to bring up how different things feel or suggest we change our whole tradition around partying together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A ritual that once bonded a group now divides it, and everyone is afraid that acknowledging the change will end what they've cherished.
