MODERATORS
I not only don't like drinking myself because it tastes awful and makes me feel like shit, I don't really like being around others who are drinking because drunk people are, at best, simply obnoxious and at worse straight up abusive. It's hard to make friends with this stance since drinking is so fuckin' normalized.
I can understand this. I get weird looks and teased for declining drinks or admitting that alcohol taste bad to me - I can't tolerate it, it's bad for a medical condition of mine and I'm not going to pretend to be someone I'm not just to fit in (the compromise is me getting a soft drink or water while the others drink what they want).
On the other had, I've had drunk family friends that were a pain to deal with, been cursed at by a drunken villager one time and had our property littered with beer bottles and other trash when they've been parties in our area.
If you're not a drunk, why are you taking my opinion of drunk people so personally, when it doesn't apply to you? I don't need to read your mind or body language to tell you're a prick, because I can see that you are after you went off on an insulting tirade simply because I don't like hanging out with drunk people, because I find them obnoxious.
How much did you have to drink before commenting? That's a rhetorical question, BTW. I've already blocked you.
Dude the comments in this thread are WILD, like calm down, some people just don't like to drink.
Right. Very childish across the board. To the OP, find your new people, those that you want to grow with. It's OK to move on. Maybe check in with the people you care about but you don't have to surround yourself with them.
Damn I can smell your douchiness through the fucking 5g bro, put the bottle down
It's not "abusive" to not drink for medical reasons lmao what are you on about
Sorry I assumed he had brain damage after talking to you
