Why do folks who drink alcohol feel the need to harass others who choose not to? (hexbear.net)

Out on the beach for a while today, i ran across two people waving for attention; turns out they were stuck right past the '4wd only past this point' sign. I got them unstuck, made sure they didnt need anything else and was about to head on my way. One of the women offered me a couple road sodas, and i declined- i havent drank alcohol in about 13 years and have no inclination to start again. The other woman actually scoffed, and said 'what man isnt going to accept a beer from a couple women on the beach, are you a f-slur?'

So i left.

Why the fuck do people who drink alcohol act this way around people who dont drink?

i was in a social situation where friend of friend i just met offered to buy me a drink and i said "i'm good for now" which is my default response to halt further questioning and they looked at me like i insulted their entire family lineage.. i wonder if they thought i was judging them for drinking based off my tone or something but i just didn't want to give off any vibe that i was open for interrogation

In that situation I can see how they could take "I'm good for now" to mean more that you do drink and you're specifically turning down having a drink with them.
