To Drink or Not to Drink, Why is this even a question?

There are many things that are socially acceptable that I don't understand. I've tried to wrap my mind around them but yeah that is a fail. There is one I feel needs to be addressed.

I Do Not understand people who have to alcohol at all social events. They can not have a good time unless they can a beverage containing liquor. All of these people I will not call Alcoholics. Some I think do have drinking problems. Some don't drink unless it is at a social event.

I didn't recognize the issue until I started watching a show called Four Weddings (4 brides judge each other's weddings for a grand prize honeymoon) on the TLC network. I love the show. There were two episodes that stood out. One were the reception was a breakfast and one of the other brides was upset that mimosas were not served and she deducted points. Another episode all three of brides at a competitor's wedding complained about the temperance event. Luckily for them there was a family member of the bride who had a little something; something in a flask that she shared with the table she called it "Hunch Punch". A couple of the brides also deducted points because they didn't have alcohol. I was appalled.

Then my mother told me about a cousin's wedding she attended and his in-laws cousins took the food to go and left once they found out there wasn't any liquor. Oh and they bad mouthed the family for that. I had never heard of people who get upset because a wedding is temperance event. I've been to more non-alcoholic weddings than alcoholic weddings. That is unreal to me.

So that caused me to think about other social events that didn't have alcohol at them. Most college parties I attended on campus were non-alcoholic events.

Then I thought about a former friend that would be bored at the parties if he didn't drink before we got there. Then that brought me to now, I have a bestie who has friends that don't seem to ever party sober. They don't understand a two drink limit. The friend set that kind of limit for them self and the friends were upset because they drinking way more. They even said, "We don't like you sober". My bestie stuck to the set limit. I see there are few people I know & know of like this. Is the Type of Partying they want to do something they can't truly enjoy without a drink? Are their lives that tightly wound that they can't relax without Brother Booze?

I guess my true problem is the irate complaints by those that want/need booze about the lack of booze. Yes, I socially drink. I don't have to drink at every social event. I can dance hard, laugh hard, and celebrate love hard with and without Brother Booze. Many people do it. Unless they are Alcoholics, which is a major problem, they should learn to have fun sober. All events will not have alcohol. Rude to expect that. Even ruder to complain about it. If NOT, leave those who are alone. Sit your "want to be" drunk self in a corner and be quiet. We'll have fun our way.
