DO NOT FORCE ALCOHOL ON TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY DO NOT DRINK

DO NOT FORCE ALCOHOL ON TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY DO NOT DRINK

DO NOT FORCE ALCOHOL ON TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY DO NOT DRINK

ugh this. my husband is 30 and has NEVER had any alcohol. he has no desire to drink and everywhere we go people try to convince him to “JUST TRY IT!!” fucking leave him alone man

Just want to add: sometimes it’s not even just a preference (although that reason should be respected too). Sometimes the person has a family history of alcoholism and doesn’t want to become addicted, or they’re a recovering acloholic.

Please keep in mind alcohol is a drug, and one not everyone wants to use.

Speaking as a recovering alcoholic, it would be great if more people would follow this.

also some people do not drink because of their religion please be respectful

There are also some people who can’t have alcohol due to medical conditions

Husband: family with history of alcoholism

Sister: recovering alcoholic

Brother-in-law: medical condition

Me: philosophical reasons

If someone says “no” it’s not your job to convince them. Many times there IS a legitimate reason they don’t want to do the thing. I once saw a gaggle of ladies at a birthday party continue to harass my friend’s husband to have “just once slice of cake.” This was a guy who’d recently been diagnosed with a heart condition, was under strict orders to eat healthier, and was having a hard enough time coming to grips with that. It’s nothing something he wanted to bring up in casual conversation. The women were relentless and I had to discretely intervene. When someone says “no” let them be!

Also I jsut want to point out that even if they don’t have a “legitimate reason” like these, even if they just… don’t want to? Please still respect that. You dont need a deep reason to just NOT ENJOY DRINKING please stop pressuring thanx

The concentration camp was never the normal condition for the average gentile German. Unless one were Jewish, or poor and unemployed, or of active leftist persuasion or otherwise openly anti-Nazi, Germany from 1933 until well into the war was not a nightmarish place. All the “good Germans” had to do was obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, avoid any sign of political heterodoxy, and look the other way when unions were busted and troublesome people disappeared.

Since many “middle Americans” already obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, are themselves distrustful of political heterodoxy, and applaud when unions are broken and troublesome people are disposed of, they probably could live without too much personal torment in a fascist state — some of them certainly seem eager to do so.

It is necessary to understand that the police army at Standing Rock wants to start killing the water protectors. You don’t deliberately inflict hypothermia on people, especially older people, unless you are cognizant of the fact that this can be lethal. Their use of water cannons in this context is lethal force. I imagine they’re delighted at the opportunity; they’ve only held off on live ammunition this long because massacres are bad PR. 


(Oh, and a quick sidenote: “rubber” bullets are not made of rubber. They are metal pellets with a thin rubber coating. You can absolutely kill or severely injure someone with a rubber bullet.)

Water protector Sophia Willansky was critically injured last night – she’s in surgery facing amputation of an arm – after being hit by what is called a “stun grenade” while distributing water bottles to her fellow protectors. “Stun Grenade” is an interesting euphemism for a concussive weapon that is not significantly less destructive to living things than a regular grenade. If you would like to see what a “stun grenade” does to a person’s body, you can google Sophia Willansky, but the images are graphic and I’m not sure she has consented to their release. Rest assured that it’s fucking horrific. This isn’t, like, “set phasers to stun”; this is “use words that sound nicer for stuff that kills people” and it’s scary and garbage.

It’s confirmed now that she’s lost her arm. There’s a gofundme to pay for her medical bills and recovery here.
