So, on Reddit (not a good place, I know), the most upvoted comment to a post saying “You get a call from a woman and it makes you angry. Who is she?” was “Ellen ‘Degenerate’”. (Their words, not mine). Since it was hugely upvoted, why is she so bad? All I know is that she is a talk show host and a lesbian.
kind of lame that the only reason people can imagine for not drinking an alcohol is “i am pregnant”
Lol, but maybe she just didn’t want to lie. Simpler. You’re right - i bet at that time the idea of “just not drinking” would be ridiculed by the press and general public - but it’s for that reason that Carey might fear she’d get caught up in a bigger lie trying a different excuse.
how would she get caught in a bigger lie? it is her fucking business when she does or does not want to drink alcohol. and even if she drank alcohol some other time, does not mean she must be in mood for it every waking moment. i know, hindsight is 20/20, but the point is that people need to normalize not getting drunk and not having to explain to anyone why they don’t want to.
I think the implication is that the other big reason for not drinking that people would jump to is substance abuse. Even if untrue, once the rumor starts it would be out there.
