Why is it that just because I don't have a taste for alcoholic beverages I am shunned?
I don't drink. I never have. It isn't that I am a prude or anything I just genuinely do not enjoy the taste for the stuff. Can someone explain to me how this makes me shunnable? I would think this would make me an excellent catch when it comes to a friendship because HELLO!!! I am the ultimate designated driver! But NO!!! Apparently people are offended by my choice to not drink. Why is that? I'm not offended by your choice to drink. Have at it! I could care less if you get three sheets to the wind, in some cases it makes for some people being way more interesting than they actually are so pour it on baby!!
I have been told that my choice to not drink is rude. How's that? It makes people uncomfortable you say? Explain that one! Why do you care what is in my glass? As long as I'm not letting one rip ever two seconds or scratching myself in highly inappropriate places I would think I was fine! Nope. Rude.
Seriously!? Trust me. I'm weird enough sober. You do not want me to add alcohol to all this!
I've decided that my life lesson from this one is we are going to have peer pressure for our entire lives. People are going to shun you for all kinds of things. If they shun you then they weren't meant to be your friend in the first place and the only friend you should be concerned about offending is the one that can walk on water.
