My main objection I suppose is people who don't drink not appreciating that you may drink alcohol for different reasons other than to get drunk. I will often buy something more expensive that I enjoy, rather than something cheap that I can buy more of. Some beers I will take an hour to drink. Most of the time I dont drink at all with my friends. The demonisation often over shadows the pure art of brewing. I know that most people drink just to get drunk but thats not me.
