Only some horrid prohibition
by CarolineMiss Manners offers perspective for nondrinkers:
If people would stop monitoring what goes or does not go into other people’s mouths, the world would go around a lot faster.
Miss Manners also finds peculiar the notion that only some horrid prohibition keeps everyone from drinking at every opportunity. And, incidentally, that no one is driving home.
The dismissive reply is a cheerful, “I just don’t like it.” Enjoyment is not a matter for debate, and whether it is the taste of alcohol that you don’t like or its effects need not be stated.
Last night I went to bar trivia with Ed, a fellow nondrinker, so when our team won a round of beers we got 7up instead.
