Comparisons between sober people and vegans

What about the rest is us that don't care that you don't care?

I’ve never had interactions with sober people who insisted on telling me how awesome and important they were for being sober.

I didn’t even know they were sober until I asked if they wanted a drink.


Vegans however…
What kind of teetotalers do you interact with?

How about a gay, sober vegan?

I tell everyone I know and meet that I'm an alcoholic.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I will probably be shitting my pants tonight due to my alcoholism."

I'm both (don't drink anyway) but the only time it really comes up is when someone insists that I try something and doesn't accept a "no thanks". This happens a lot more than you'd think because many people become defensive about their food when you decline to eat it. Some of the recovering alcoholics on here might be familiar with a similar phenomenon when declining a drink. Some people interpret your refusal as a moral judgement against them and push to know why you won't partake.

Vegans are kind of like atheists in that there is a loud contingent that feels the need to make everyone aware but there are also plenty of us just quietly living our lives. Never been to a protest, never threw red paint on a fur coat, and I don't have a Coexist bumper sticker.

My wife just tells everyone she has severe food allergies. That's an easier route, I guess.

You sound insecure.

Those people are the worst.

I’ve around a lot of sober people the last ten years. The guys that go out of their way to tell you they are sober are almost always not sober.
