yes i c what u r saying. but i think its not that theyre intentionally making a big deal out of ut..i think its just that like 4 my self example..i know i would feel pretty uncomfortble 2 go 2/ be in a place where the atmosphere is 1 where ppl r getting drunk..so i just would choose not 2 b there. so thats whati think it is. non-drinking muslims just dont want 2 even b in that mahol.
but heh..if u dont have any problems being surrounded by drunkards then good 4 u!
soni, your response is cute in a way....but also shows inexperience. When you live in a western society, you can attend a work function, family function or even go to a pub and consume or not - it doesnt make any difference. And those who DO consume are for the most part, doing so in a mild to moderate manner. That is, they are NOT getting drunk and acting like jerks. Rather, they are enjoying a beer or a cocktail, maybe two and thats it. To call someone a drunkard because they've had a beer or two is just inaccurate and the wrong idea. I HAVE been to a couple of desi parties where the men go to a separate area and just consume alcohol till they either pass out or puke their guts out but this doesnt happen (or at least its very rare) at western functions. Not that I'm trying to convince you that its ok but you and those like you, should realize that there are people who are not forbidden to consume and they are able to do so responsibly.
