Those are really good analogies - thankyou :) I realised after the fact that I had sort of framed my comment like a bit of a gotcha - not my intent; I'm just trying to puzzle out why we treat alcohol so very differently.
Because yeah, in my experience, people treat "drinking in front of an enforced non drinker" (addiction issues aside) very differently from "eating ice cream in front of someone who can't eat dairy", and I'm just trying to unearth my own unexamined assumptions around the idea.
