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?
In that situation I can see how they could take “I’m good for now” to mean more that you do drink and you’re specifically turning down having a drink with them.
