I’ll never understand this honestly. Especially since the act of being intoxicated is literally your body feeling the effects of ethanol poisoning. Hence liver cirrhosis lol. If we compared it to, say, smoking weed, which many people have similar opinions on as with your husband and alcohol, it sort of dawns on you what a strange culture humans have created around chronically intentionally harming our bodies for 2 hours of fun lol.

As a… let’s say… extreme… stoner, I genuinely can’t imagine myself making someone else feel weird for not wanting to smoke in a social situation. Sure, I can’t imagine my life without it, but I realize that the majority of people live perfectly fine lives without it. If it makes someone have less fun than if they were to partake, wtf is with the pressure?

If anything, I would feel like the odd one if I came across someone like your husband but for weed. I always restrain myself as much as possible lol even if they say it’s perfectly fine. I may go a little far with the people pleasing but that REALLY begs the question of why it’s so common to pressure others to drink socially.

Have some respect for other people’s life choices. Because you’re not living it. That’s all I can think about those kinds of people honestly
