Yep and when you go to a catered event, you often don’t have any real option to eat if you don’t eat animal products. At least at an event where they serve beer you can just drink water. In either case, you’ll get weird questions and you might feel left out. My group has a very strong drinking culture and I don’t drink and don’t eat animal products. I’m always in situations where I have to explain why I’m not eating or drinking to our customers, but my coworkers and our customers are adults and don’t make it weird.
