Seasonal reminder: Alcohol is a completely legal drug that destroys lives, relationships and families. Don't make it hard for people who are trying to stay sober to enjoy festivities and functions.

@katrinbretscher How about - I am not drinking, and I don't need to explain it to you 🤔

@Supertapani @katrinbretscher Sometimes it is not the right time/condition/… to be rude. At other times, the much shorter "f* off" may be appropriate.

@marcel @katrinbretscher I totally agree, and that is probably what I would say if I were living elsewhere.

But I am living in Finland. Finland is an honor culture, where violence is considered appropriate response to something you say -- Unlike the physical threshold we are used to thinking as a limit in some other cultures. Also, in Finland, 'I was drunk' is a perfectly good excuse for just about any behavior.

@Supertapani @katrinbretscher "No" is a complete sentence. No further information is needed.
