Shit people who drink say to people who don't drink

[dragonzuela]

There are some good "shit people say" videos going around, such as "shit white girls say to black girls". So along those lines

"Why don't you drink?" [What makes you think that the answer to this question is likely to be a pleasant one?]

One of my crew doesn't drink. The one time we asked him about it, we got a "When I was younger I promised my grandmother I wouldn't, and she means a lot to me!" We all thought that was adorable [and I don't mean that in a condescending way!].

In general if someone apologizes profusely for offering you a beer, keep in mind that you seem like one of the more level headed abstainers. I host a lot of social events, and the majority of people I know who don't drink... tend to not drink in the most outspoken and dramatic way possible. If they're offered a drink, they generally go into a tirade and make a big stink. You don't seem at all like those people, but they're common enough that I think non-drinkers in general get a bad rap as being killjoys and overly sensitive.

You know, this post would've been a lot more fun if you'd been drinking when you wrote it.

Oh goodness, I can definitely sympathize with you - man, did it make me bristle when I heard "We're gonna get you wasted! Haha j/k" (if a variation of said quote) from someone I know, along with a good dose of fear.

Also, these phrases remind me a lot of baby 'bingos', as well - things like "Oh, your life isn't complete without children", "You must be lonely", etc. To those and to most alcohol-related 'bingos', I just want to say "F*** you" or just wish to leave immediately. ><

Thanks for posting!
