Everything in moderation. As long as you don't take your medication WITH alcohol, you're okay.
As long as you don't go overboard and get drunk, you're okay.
A glass of wine every other day or on the weekend is acceptable.
So no you are not weird. Alcohol has a negative effect on the brain and on mood (just like caffeine) so if you're able to stay away from it and you can do without it easy, the better.
A lot of people drink and get drunk because of the temporary high/disconnection it gives. It's their escape-come-addiction. On meds or not. Some people just don't know any better, or don't have the will power to do better.

I quit drinking this year and have been much happier and healthier. Lost 30 pounds. Skin looks better. Mixing bipolar with alcohol is just a bad deal. I no longer get invited to the in crowd and spend a lot of time alone. But I no longer wake up hating myself for my behavior the night before.

I think that you are the one doing the right thing. I hate to be around people that are drinking. It is just irritating to listen to a drunk, so I leave myself out a lot of social interaction, as well.

Keep up the good work!

You are not weird

Even if you are weird, so what? All the best people are :)
