Is there evidence for this, or is this just a gut feeling? I don't see my non-drinking friends less than my drinking ones. I had plenty of college friends who didn't drink and took great pleasure in messing with their inebriated classmates.
- tomrod 5y agoIt's an alternative hypothesis that aligns with current evidence, hence the discord.
- Godel_unicode 5y agoI have seen no evidence posted that corroborates this hypothesis. It's also pretty clearly not stated as a hypothesis, but rather as a fact which the upstream poster is "missing".
- tomrod 5y agoAppearances aside, until evidence or logic aligns beyond refutation, all assertions are simply hypotheses.
- TameAntelope 5y agoI can tell you from experience that the drinking friends did not look upon the non-drinking friends as fondly in all cases.
