Why do folks who drink alcohol feel the need to harass others who choose not to? (hexbear.net)

Out on the beach for a while today, i ran across two people waving for attention; turns out they were stuck right past the '4wd only past this point' sign. I got them unstuck, made sure they didnt need anything else and was about to head on my way. One of the women offered me a couple road sodas, and i declined- i havent drank alcohol in about 13 years and have no inclination to start again. The other woman actually scoffed, and said 'what man isnt going to accept a beer from a couple women on the beach, are you a f-slur?'

So i left.

Why the fuck do people who drink alcohol act this way around people who dont drink?

I would have yelled at them for calling me a slur, especially THAT one, and doubly especially after you were kind enough to help them out.

I wanted to hook their car back up to the tow strap and deposit it back in the sandy hole from whence it came but i decided just leaving was the lesser complicated of the two.

Would have been totally justified in doing so! Words have meaning and especially words like goddamned slurs.
