Coffee and Beer

These two things are apparently loved by all. Everywhere you go, you are offered one or the other, depending on the time of day or the situation.

I like neither.

I am constantly trying to explain why I don't want coffee or beer, because a simple 'no thank you' is not good enough. It is insulting in some ways to turn down a beer or a coffee, when at someone's house.

I just don't want it. I don't like being controlled by chemicals.
