[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's something I would say if my 14 yo was with me too![/quote]

Really? Lying is more acceptable to you than responsibly and moderately imbibing?[/quote]

There is no acceptable amount that is healthy.  But if he said that then drinkers would get upset.[/quote]

I don’t see where I said drinking was healthy. But responsible, moderate drinking can be part of a healthy life, just as eating a steak or a bowl of ice cream can be. You don’t need to be abstinent to be healthy. This black or white thinking is so off-putting and frankly childish. It’s how I thought when I was 8.[/quote]

These things are not the same. Steak has protein, ice cream has calcium, alcohol has poison. There isn't a nutritional value in alcohol, especially the way some of y'all drink it.

You'll try some "red wine has..." and so does a tomato, without the carcinogens.

So yeah, those of us who don't drink (at all) will often hedge it a bit ("I don't really drink") because y'all tend to freak out when we say it's not for us at all.

No. It’s because you come off as smug, judgmental prats, just like vegans. Everyone hates you. But you wouldn’t know that, because you’re sitting at home at night, watching The Gilded Age, instead of out being sociable. Stay home with your bustles and muffs, Carrie Nation.[/quote]

Dp. Actually, you are the smug one when you assume because people like pp and me are alone because we don't drink.  We don't need alcohol to be social.   While you are anxious and need that drink to calm you we non drinkers are not.

And honestly, we don't care if you 'hate' us.[/quote]

Eh, cake is not really my thing. I might eat a piece or two in a year, but it generally doesn't excite me so nine times out of ten, if I'm at a party where it's passed around, I just say no thanks. I don't need to tell everyone else that sugar is poison and judge the fact that they choose otherwise. Who cares?[/quote]
