Out on the beach for a while today, i ran across two people waving for attention; turns out they were stuck right past the ‘4wd only past this point’ sign. I got them unstuck, made sure they didnt need anything else and was about to head on my way. One of the women offered me a couple road sodas, and i declined- i havent drank alcohol in about 13 years and have no inclination to start again. The other woman actually scoffed, and said ‘what man isnt going to accept a beer from a couple women on the beach, are you a f-slur?’

So i left.

Why the fuck do people who drink alcohol act this way around people who dont drink?

    I started getting migraines like half the time when I drink, even if it’s only half a beer.

    People seem to think you’re judging them for drinking. You even get it if you drink, but less.

    Sorry you got slurred at yea

      This is why i do not go to places that serve alcohol. Its why ive mostly stopped going to shows/concerts; i invariably spend most of my night justifying to the increasingly inebriated people i interact w explaining why i dont drink.

      I got shit on by the bartender at a Reverend Horton Heat show because i was the DD for some friends a few months ago, when i asked for a Coke to drink. I had to explain that i hadnt asked for a shot w a Coke chaser, but just a Coke. She actually asked me if my AA sponsor knew i was here. Im not in AA nor am i a problem drinker, im just not a fuckin drinker anymore.
