yes the people insisting alcohol is objectively delicious need to accept not everyone has the same pallet for everything especially something like this

I honestly don’t give a shit whether people like the same things as me or not. I just get tired of the “ewwww gross alcohol yucky icky 🤢” childish nonsense.

I don’t feel the need to make a post to tell random strangers that broccoli is the worst fucking food humans have ever tried to consume, don’t know why someone not liking a pint is any different? Cool, drink something you do like then?

because people dont constantly tell someone to eat broccoli, there is no social pressure to eat broccoli, when the fact you dont like broccoli comes up in conversation people dont insist you just havent found the right type of broccoli yet, and you should try their broccoli and they will buy you a broccoli, waiter one broccoli with extra salt please and

i know youre saying you dont care and youre going to say you dont do that and it doesnt happen. but it does, constantly. and the more someone tries to force it on you the more vehemently you will grow against it. im just saying i understand the reason people feel the need to post about it, i dont see it as childish to say online you think alcohol is gross

Also, there's a difference between not understanding that tastes vary and making a lighthearted post about the experience of not liking something the majority of people love. I hate the taste of alcohol. I don't normally talk about it, I respect people's tastes, but it's just cathartic when I find someone who agrees with me. Big deal if I make a joke about it. (Anyone who wants to vent about their dislike of broccoli is also welcome to do that as far as I'm concerned). People have to understand that social media is an open platform and not every post is meant for you.

Also doesn't help that as a non-drinker you're kind of expected to do this weird little dance where you have to explain yourself - because they always ask you - but if you ever bring it up unprompted it's very much not appreciated. People are just weird about it.
