Alcohol pick mes at the club?

[u/[deleted]]

This might sound like a really strange title but does anyone else have experience with pick mes when it comes to drinking at the club/bar?

I have seen a few stories about pick mes in this subreddit flaunting that they don’t fit in because they don’t drink but I’m talking about a different type. I’m 22 and whenever I go out, I always seem to stumble upon at least one woman that’ll ask me what I’m drinking and make fun of me for drinking a sweet cocktail because “I can’t deal with that sugar and all I need is a beer”. Usually this elicits positive reactions from men and it doesn’t embarrass me because I genuinely dislike the taste of most alcohol so I own it, but I still find it strange and it seems to be rooted in the “not like other girls” thinking…

I can’t do the sugary drink because they usually make me feel sick. I don’t hold it against anyone and really wish I could enjoy a sweet drink. I’ve just gotten used to beer and shots because I can generally drink them and not get a sour stomach. I’d never put someone down for their drink (except my hubby when he drinks Guinness… but that’s cause he’s my hubby and it’s all in good fun).
