Most tourist destinations are fueled by binge drinking. If this is a trigger, consider looking staying off the beaten tourist path. Lots of more remote options in the world.

We did two trips to Montreal this past year and focused on Indian and Middle Eastern food for dinner and ice cream after dinner with locals who spill on the street to enjoy a warm evening. Also the best and cute coffee shops are big in Montreal. Then there are so many things to do and shopping is great. Thinking of exploring this winter during light festival.
Also Hawaii is great. Again, coffee is huge and fruit of course. Japanese resorts are very beautiful and non boozy...also activities like evening star gazing trips that are super incredible. The ranch on Molokai...Many many things to do that don’t revolve around drinking by a pool.

If you’re in a 12 step program, research meetings before you arrive. I find it helpful to get to a meeting on the day I arrive. That way you can have a connection to the program if you need it as the vacation progresses
