Just one guy
Ok, I'm a Mormon and I don't drink. I tried alcohol a few times as a teenager when I was a bit rebellious against my religion. Now, I abstain. I know I detested the taste of beer, but felt I needed to keep up with my friends and just try to get used to it.
Now, everywhere I go, beer is constantly talked about. Everyone always wants to get "a cold one" after work, during the game, etc. I go to TONS of little league baseball games. Parents are always hiding beer in their cups and giggling about it.
What am I missing? Is it really that exicting to drink beer? Is it the buzz? Is it the taste? Does it help people relax? Is it hard for the average beer drinker to go, say one day, without a beer?
I went to a pro baseball game with my company. My friend drank several beers. The next day he had a chance to go to another game. I asked him if he was going. He said no, because he can't handle that much beer. I thought to myself, why don't you go to the game, but not drink this time?
This is intended to be a light hearted discussion. But, I really don't get it. From my perspective as a non drinker, beer seems like an obsession. But, I know that I must seem really weird to those around me, when I don't drink.
Enlighten me please.
