Non-drinkers: Do you feel uncomfortable around alcohol drinkers?

Edited on Sat Nov-12-11 11:12 PM by Manifestor_of_Light
I have a glass of champagne on New Years Eve, and broke out the good stuff (Piper-Heidsieck) when Obama was elected in 2008. Took it a bar where the local Democrats were gathered.


I live in a very conservative place that only went wet about three years ago.

When I have had people working on my house, and I had a glass of juice, standing out in the yard, and I would say I was drinking my tea or whatever, and the man said "No Jack Daniels?" and I said "I don't drink. I don't like the stuff."

Another man who was on my property saw me in the yard with a glass of milk and said, "Is that a pina colada?".

I don't have a problem with other people drinking alcohol. I have had people make jokes about alcohol several times. I get tired of saying, "I don't drink. I don't like the stuff." It's starting to irritate me.

:shrug:


On edit: Allegedly these people were all sober when they said these things. :shrug: I was not hanging out with them at a bar or restaurant, at a social occasion. The guy who asked about my milk was at an Easter party I was having in my yard.

:shrug:
