WITH YOUR RUDE @SS (Sober Event Complainers)

I will say I don't know that I know Any complainers. And if I do, Keep Your Complaints to Yourself. Now, I do know that I have talk about people who can't party with alcohol HERE.
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. 
That is not what I think is rude. My true problem is the irate complaints by those that want/need booze about the lack of booze. Have you heard these people? When did it become a civil right act to have alcohol at every social? What gives people the right that they should expect alcohol all the time.

Is it an event type that usually has booze. I laughed & teased the other day about a restaurant that was going to stop having mimosas during it's brunch. The only brunches I know that don't have those are at church. But there is no law that says all restaurants that serve brunch must have mimosas. So, to complain about it is dumb. Go somewhere that does.

Did the organizers or host promise booze? I can't understand questioning it's where about it. I mean if they said it then... But I said questions not complaints. Things happen!!!

Here's a Fact that many drinkers hate to swallow, Everyone Does Not Drink!!!

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.
Oh, let me warn you guys now. When I get married, I am having a Sober Wedding Reception.  As in there will be no alcohol served. If you can't celebrate my nuptials sober, Decline to Come. I have two reasons why I won't be serving liquor.

Alcohol is expensive!!! It is an unnecessary expense to me. You can call me cheap but you want call me having stuff at my wedding I can't afford. Oh and put your "cash bar" fingers down. There is a charge for those somewhere in the contract.

Also everybody does not know how to act with alcohol. Everyone is not a fun but calm drinker.
Some people use booze to fight, curse folks out, and act lewd. Some people just get carried away. You can't plan for how anyone will act anywhere but you don't have to provide added matches. Alcohol in my opinion is an added match.

And whether they said it would be there or not, your complaints are never warranted. Complaining about the lack of liquor is rude. No one owes you booze for you to have a good time. You owe them some respect and not to stress them out about it. And if you can't do that stay home or leave quietly.

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.
