AN ANONYMOUS CRAIGSLIST ONLINE 'AUSTIN RANTS AND RAVES' SECTION RESPONDENT, REACTING TO A 'RANTS AND RAVES' POSTING I HAD MYSELF WRITTEN, STATES ON FEBRUARY 9, 2017, THAT ADULTS WHO DRINK ALCOHOL FEAR THAT 'NON-DRINKERS MAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM' IN THEIR OWN 'VULNERABLE' STATE

Re: Why the Prejudice Against Teetotalers?

It's not just Central Texans that feel this way. People who drink are universal in their treatment of non-drinkers.

The reason is they know they are making themselves vulnerable when they drink and fear the non-drinkers may take advantage of them.

Truth is a person should only drink around people they trust. But that is never going to happen.

this post(:) Why the Prejudice Against Teetotalers? (Austin)

Does anyone know why so many Central Texans exhibit prejudice against those of us who choose to abstain from drinking any alcohol or any beer in our own lives?

Central Texans who bash teetotalers overlook the point that:

---always-sober teetotalers are much safer drivers to face on the roadways of Central Texas than are drivers who consume alcohol.

---always-sober teetotalers make very fine "designated drivers" for you when you attend parties where alcohol is served.

---always-sober teetotalers are much less likely to physically assault you or sexually assault you than are Central Texans who actually get drunk.

---always-sober teetotalers are much less likely than alcohol-consumers are to sexually harass you, such as by pinching you, grabbing you, goosing your behind, forcing a hug on you, spying on you, stalking you, or attempting to harass you during your bedtime hours.

---always-sober teeotalers are much less likely to inflict profane or obscene speech on you against your wishes, or to hurl verbalized death threats at you.

---always-sober teetotalers are much less likely than are alcohol-consumers to break into your home and commit a felony home-invasion crime victimizing you during periods when you are asleep and lying unconscious on your own bed inside your locked private residence at nighttime.
