I'm a man who really, really likes drinking... but socially only. I have 0 desire to drink alcohol without people there drinking with me.
Unfortunately a couple of times friends-of-friends who are non-drinkers make suggestions and off-comments that I have problems controlling my alcohol intake. Ironically on these nights I had only about 3 drinks and was simply having a good time with friends. Needless to say I try to explain everything nicely... but their decisions were pre-rendered.
I can understand if people don't drink due to religious reasons, medication, or historical abuse.... but honestly I find non-drinkers boring. WIDE BRUSH WARNING. I honestly feel that non-drinkers never have any good stories, they are never interested in conversations with strangers, or doing anything / going anywhere they don't always attend.
In addition, the condensation they feel over people who do socially drink is about as insulting as you can possibly get.
