'Boo' to my 1 or 2 beers a month? Should I have more? haha!
I think the reason people feel the needed to label themselves is that most people are so intolerant and narrow minded of difference that to do something different like not drink has to be because 'I am...' not just because that's your choice. I went for a drink with a guitar player after a rehearsal a couple of years ago. He asked me what I wanted and to me saying in orange juice he replied 'no, come on have a beer', I reply 'I don't drink blah blah'. He came back 'come on blah blah' and this went on for about 5 mins where as if I just said 'I'm a muslim' or some group thing he would have accepted it.
