Guy said drinking is trampy

We were talking about going to the pub, this guy said he wouldn't drink at home and everything. He said that "drinking at home is trampy as in cans, its a bit homelessly" which got to me a bit because I do it sometimes. I might be being a bit sensitive or like a snowflake letting it get to me, it might be because I am not 100 percent with my situation regarding work atm which most of you have probably seen from my other discussions. Tbf, I have reduced drinking at home not because of the comments, I just thought it was healthier but I still drink every now and then. The guy was saying ' drink at the pub if you want to drink. He said it a few times. It started with because we was thinking of going to the pub. It just got to me, I think it was the part about homeless thing that got to me a bit more but just it all kind of got to me too a little. I dont go pub atm, I prefer drinking at home, it's cheaper too but going pub us good too.

    I’m just gonna say that person seems to be talking nonsense. They think a homeless person would drink AT HOME? I dont know if it’s just me being stupid but that makes no sense to me lol. I don’t drink, and neither do my parents, so i dont know what’s the norm but I wouldn’t judge people for drinking at home. It’s not up to that guy to tell you what to do anyway, if anything then he’s the problem in this situation.

    I have never seen an issue with drinking at home. Sure if you're buying 12 cans and drinking them all in one night that's an issue but most people don't. I like a glass of wine at home or sometimes a few beers. The homeless thing is a weird comparison to make, he may be picturing people drinking on the street which to me is entirely different to enjoying a few drinks in your own home.
