Isn't there perhaps a category error kicking around here? Acceptance? I haven't noticed being persecuted lately.
I don't require acceptance as a beer drinker; I don't care too much whether an individual walking along the street likes the same kind of beer I do. The existence of what I consider to be bad beer doesn't particularly reflect on the goodness of the beer I drink; I don't feel the need to apologize for it.
What one might need to apologize for is on the other hand being a sloppy drunk in public. Isn't it perhaps more about behavior than anything else?
