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 don’t think this is the only reason, but I think a lot of people are just obsessed with forcing people into behaving like them, because then if everyone is doing that, if it’s “normal”, then they feel good and proper and normal for doing it.

    They want you to drink (the normal amount), dress normal, mow your lawn, watch sports, be cishet, and a million other things. And like, obviously some of those things are okay to do if you want to (like I drink, I think it’s fine to enjoy sports, etc.), but all the social pressure giving sucks.
