Why do folks who drink alcohol feel the need to harass others who choose not to? (hexbear.net)

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?

In this case it's less about the alcohol and more about these women trying to police masculinity. The questions that need to be asked is why drinking beer is associated with masculinity in this case, and why these women felt they had the right to try police you sexuality wise for refusing their offer.
