is a minor obstacle sometimes in social situations.<br>

The "free beer draw" has usually a negative effect on the odds
of me attending some session. So far in Iceland we haven't been
active in planning events but if I have a say in it we will make
any alcoholic beverages an afterthought, I'm not sure how
effective people are at drawing buildings on their 5th beer!<br>

<pre wrap="">I read this article recently and It got me thinking. Do we devalue
community members, or potential community members who don't drink?
A quote from the article, "When alcohol is currency, non-alcoholic
drinks are considered valueless, and the interests and needs of people
who don’t drink alcohol are easily forgotten."
Give it a read and let's talk. Can we do better in the ways that the
article suggests?
