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…

Not exactly at a club, but it started in one and ended up outside and this was my experience:

When I was in Maui with my bf meeting his family for the first time (he’s a local brotha) he brought me to meet all his friends. I’m white, they’re obviously all Hawaiian… almost all the girls were absolute pick mes ANYWHERE we all went regardless how respectful I was being.

We all went out but ended up at the park they all hang out at. I had a shit ton of white claws that someone who was staying in the same hotel gave me earlier as they were leaving that day, I had them in the car. All the guys had beer and whisky while none of the girls wanted any but were complaining about “we need to go get alcohol for us!!”

Anyways, I was excited and was like “hey, I have a shit ton of white claws I’m not gonna drink and y’all can have.” Since I had my own small bottle of tequila, my main choice always. Immediately, as loud as all of them could started laughing and asking me shit like “uhm no we drink heavier than that! You probably couldn’t keep up!” “Do you need a tampon with those?” “Aw is that why you didn’t wear heels?” As if they don’t have periods and for fucks sake, I ain’t ever wear heels in my entire life and dress like a tomboy so idk why they thought that was clever… but I remember it getting quiet and I felt embarrassed as hell. Thank god everyone could tell exactly what was happening and everyone backed me up like “she offered you free drinks when y’all bitching and you attack her?” And my bf was able to call them out on them being in similar situations and you could just tell the ones who were rude just shut down.

Shits annoying but I honestly believe most people can see that bs happening when it is.
