Drinkers will get this post; non-drinkers will not.

I am not an alcoholic or a drunk, yet I probably have a drink or two a day. I enjoy drinking and feel that it is part of my culture. People that are not privy to the culture do not “get it.” Those that are in the culture understand that most of us don’t drink to get drunk, we enjoy the act of drinking itself. In fact, when people are obviously drinking to get drunk, I usually hate it. It is irritating to hear non-drinkers judge drinkers that have done nothing wrong, other than have a drink. Usually it is talked about behind their backs. To them drinking is a vice, worthy of scorn and pity. This judgmental activity is far worse than the simple act of drinking.
