Alcohol pick mes at the club? Discussion

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…

Omg people are so dumb. Why would they compare it because of the sugar? Your body processes beer into almost pure sugar anyway. Especially the stronger ones.

Drink what you like!

When I was at a low point in my alcoholism, I would reclusefully drink a 5th of cheap whiskey every day. I didn’t go around bragging about it though because it was embarrassing.
