I hear you on that one. We had one friend who through a personal choice decided to give up drinking entirely. His choice and nothing to do with us but man did he get holier than thou! As in snide comments when *anyone* chose to drink anything alcoholic. Talk about a guilt trip for even daring to think of drinking an alcoholic beverage. Thank goodness he's mellowed a bit but still has the occasional anti-alcohol comment. FTR, he tends to be very, very anal and uptight about a lot of things so no real surprise to his behaviour just it is so totally opposite to our laid back outlook on life. DH and I enjoy the occasional drink and we know when to say when, so I think it is our choice as responsible adults. See, I'm rather a health food nut anyway but I view this as my choice so I don't voice my food opinions to others with the exception if someone in our party suggests eating at a fast food restaurant I will politely decline and I make it a point to inquire as to ingredients if eating at someone's home since I avoid milk, white sugar, white flour, and salt. But politely asking about ingredients is different than going on for eons about why you can't eat whatever. However, I do try to take into consideration any special food preferences or needs for guests in our home. Here's my reasoning for doing so. I feel a person knows their own body best so if they can't or choose not to eat something, I should respect that if they are guests in our home.
