Beacon!
This is so true!
I was a veggie for many years, and over EVERY dinner with non-family you could guarantee that somebody would demand that you defend your vegetarianism as if you were trying to convert everybody else.
"Why do we have teeth then? If we weren't supposed to eat meat we'd have mowers for mouths etc..."
Same with drinking. People see it as an attack on their way of life, regardless of the fact that I couldn't give a monkey's if somebody else drinks or eats meat.
People are mostly stupid.
