As someone who does not drink coffee or beer it is a minor obstacle sometimes in social situations.

The "free beer draw" has usually a negative effect on the odds of me attending some session. So far in Iceland we haven't been active in planning events but if I have a say in it we will make any alcoholic beverages an afterthought, I'm not sure how effective people are at drawing buildings on their 5th beer!

I read this article recently and It got me thinking.  Do we devalue
community members, or potential community members who don't drink?

A quote from the article, "When alcohol is currency, non-alcoholic
drinks are considered valueless, and the interests and needs of people
who don’t drink alcohol are easily forgotten."

Give it a read and let's talk.  Can we do better in the ways that the
article suggests?
