It's like stating a fact?! Ok then.
I mean yes. We have too many issues with guns and people like drinking alcohol. Remember that the Prohibition happened and people were like fuck that.

Besides the guy brought a few drinks to an event. It doesn't neccesarily make him an alcoholic and if it's a baby shower in America, just be grateful he didn't bring color coded explosives or something.

How are they boring? A gathering of friends and family, games and food. If you need booze to have fun in that scenario you're probably an addict.
Some men don't like to go to baby showers, shocker I know. Hell, until recently, baby showers were commonly depicted as a thing for women. Back in 2009, when I told people I went to my friend's baby shower, guys would respond with things like "Why would a guy go to a baby shower?" (for the record, I had fun at the baby shower and I don't drink alcohol)

I know most of y'all are joking but it is weird how alcoholism is kinda laughed off in society.
It's not laughed off. It can get really bad. I've known guys that spent most of their paychecks on alcohol, getting blackout drunk every night (And I wish I was exaggerating).

But what you're describing is not indicative of an alcoholism problem. Some people just like to drink at social gatherings. Like while watching a game, or going out for a meal, or hanging out at a birthday party. What makes drinking a couple of beers at a baby shower any different than other settings? The expecting mother shouldn't be drinking much, but there's no reason any of the guests can't drink.

based on my research many party hosts usually stock any number of domestic lagers
perhaps this guest was aware of this and prefers ales
I prefer to drink sparkling perrier and most of my friends dont stock their fridges with it so i bring my own does that make me a waterholic

There's definitely a discussion to be had about the pervasiveness of alcohol consumption and normalization of odd, sometimes even problematic/inappropriate drinking habits. Trying to determine whether or not that makes someone an alcoholic is a losing approach to it though.

I apologize if my use of the word troll offended you. I will correct myself and say most of these responses aren't trolly. But the point that most people would rather come in and make the quick easy joke of "well why wouldn't you want to drink at a baby shower!" still stands. When you're the only one doing it, it seems a bit odd at best and cause for concern at worst.

You literally decided to attack the dude based on his appearance, as if that was going to make everybody suddenly agree with you. That made you seem like somebody straight up unpleasant at worst, and somebody not really worth responding to seriously at best.

That's not even getting into how your argument immediately then became "You must all be fat alcoholics!"

If you don't want people to drink at your baby shower you should put that in the invitation and set expectations. We called ours a "baby rager" and bought a keg because it was our last chance for a party.

Depends. Were they expecting the host to have beer? If not then Id say its kind of half ok and half a slap on the face. Like, wanting to have beer at a social gathering is normal. But if the host explicitly disallows alcohol then you should probably just play by their rules I suppose. As controlling as that may be. When we had our shower we invited a lot of extended family that we hadnt seen since the pandemic. We wouldnt dream of telling them what to bring because we werent close enough for that. I felt really bad inviting people I wasnt close with but my mom insisted.

Yeah. This was supposed to be immediate family and close friends but then MiL decided to make it a family reunion with her extended family we've never met.

Oh well

Sure, I can be excited that a female friend or family member is getting married. Doesnt mean I want to or expect to be invited to her bachelorette party.

A baby shower can be a grey area where someone may not know if it's a party with alcohol or not.

If it's still happening at a daytime birthday party for a baby or toddler then yeah it's a bit much.

So for the comparison to work, baby showers would have to be meant for just women. Which is just not the case, at least not anymore. I had 3 baby showers, and there were men that showed up willingly to all of them. I've been to multiple baby showers for friends/family, and it was the case for all of them too.

We're not talking about bachelorette parties though. Not sure why you're equating that to a baby shower or why you're so insecure you're afraid to go to a baby shower.
