The extra B stands for bbad.
I was at a barbeque yesterday afternoon. Roasting hot of course, solid collection of meats on the grill, very relaxed atmosphere all round. But, and there’s no easy way to say this, there was NO BEER. In fact, the only drinks outside of tap water were Pepsi Max and Capri Sun.
This is clearly not acceptable, right? I guess we need a poll or two.
No beer at a barbeque:
It’s fine, we’re not all slaves to alcohol.
WTactualF?
Adults drinking Capri Sun(s)[poll name=poll2 type=regular public=true]
Live a little, mate.
Wrong, in every conceivable way.
Your polls are a bit reductive. I mean I would certainly prefer a beer at a BBQ but I am equally fine with an alcohol free one.

BBQs are bullshit, aren’t they.

I’m a veggie, my only reason for attendance at BBQs are hummus and alcohol.

Then you might vote “It’s fine, we’re not all slaves to alcohol.”
And somehow a chore, even if you’re a guest, unless you commit to sitting in the same place the entire time getting really drunk.
Generally I’d prefer booze, but if (say) the hosts have a moral objection to it I wouldn’t throw my toys out the pram.
Anyway, isn’t the normal drill with a barbecue that the guests bring their own drinks?

my problems with them:
never wanna eat hot food on a hot day which is when BBQs normally happen
you stink of BBQ after
the food never turns out very good let’s face it
meat-centric
would probably just rather have a lovely picnic

do capri(s) sun always come in the wee pouch with a straw? this is the bit i struggle to imagine adults with, not the drink itself

Pretty much as far as I recall, yes. This means if you’re annoyed by a lack of booze, it’s probably your own fault.

bbqs are one of them things people feel as though they have to do when the sun comes out. they’re always less fun than the idea of having a bbq.

Do the people who were hosting the bbbq usually drink?
