I enjoy a good beer as much as the next guy, but I am still bothered by how alcohol is ingrained in our culture. Binge drinking seems to be regarded as an important part of social life, for example. Some UK-themed subreddits also have a tendency to celebrate sometimes irresponsible drinking, without considering the consequences.

Another pet peeve of mine is how many people use 'buy you a beer' or similar expressions to mean 'meet you up'. You are aware that not everyone drinks, no?
