I get from "eat, drink & be merry, for tomorrow may not be yours" as, "enjoy today, because you may be dead tomorrow" Its a bit tragic that because you personally don't like alcohol, that you wish there to be none for anybody wherever it is that you are headed. Thats quite a mean spirited attitude. PS, let me know when you have finished editing your posts, so it dosent look like I'm modifying them myself. I said hope not wish. Nothing wrong with hoping but wishing is different. Oh, ok, so we're playing semantics while ignoring the very essence of the post. I shall be careful of that in the future. You still haven't divulged your source of knowledge of which beers will be on tap in the afterlife. The suspense is killing me.

If you die of suspense you'll find the answer sooner than you expected. Don't forget to ask if it will be upstairs or down stairs so you can be sure of going to the right place. Eternity's a long time without alcohol for someone like you. Sematics again sir, you haven't been careful enough. I asked if they were hoping it would be on tap there, not that it would be.

Yeah, thats a standard christian reply. Multiple interpretations, no actual answer, and attempting to strike fear of eternity into my heart. If heaven is full of kiddy fiddling bigots with television's hidden in their wardrobes then I'm not sure its for me. I'm also not sure how having a chat to your imaginary friend is going to give me the answer to a question you created. You also don't address why you hope there will be no alcohol, all you have to do is say "no Thankyou" instead of forcing your ideal on anyone thats there too. I guess thats the christian way once again.

How do you deal with prejudice?
Some strategies that may help include:
Build a strong network of supportive, caring people. ... Develop a strong cultural identity. ... Identify, combat, and reframe negative thoughts. ... Push back against prejudice when possible and practical. ... Take a break from triggering media and people.
Atheists are more generous toward Christians than Christians are toward them.

Being raised in a "church" that lied to all about its history is a sure cure for christianity. I'm from a smallish community, maybe around 120 bun club members in the entire district. I never professed & got shy of the whole crap as soon as I could. None of the local clan recognize me around the city now, but of course they all stand out like dogs balls to me. I know of two that are having affairs within the church, two that are kiddie fiddlers, one to his own grand daughter, two that belong to a nudist colony, several that avoid paying tax, multiple that swear & curse during the course of normal conversation with "outsiders" and the one that always makes me chuckle, is the grown ass man that gets takeaway food from a restaurant I dine at most weeks. He always gets several bottles of beer slipped in with the takeaway bag, so he dosent have to buy it the regular way. If i can see that all without even trying, imagine what God can see. I'm not sure how hanging out with this bunch of folk holds the key to heavens gates, and frankly I behave a lot better than all that, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to explain it to me.

Atheists are more generous toward Christians than Christians are toward them. I've never considered myself an atheist, more just as a guy thats getting on with his life on his own terms. I looked after the local workers car for many years at no cost, not because I thought it would get me into heaven, just because I'm a decent person. The last time I helped the workers with their car I hadn't been to a meeting for 35 years.

Great attitude, the only way to be. Workers have always been welcome to have a meal with us, even though we have been out for more than 50 years. Many have obliged and it is always enjoyable.
Be the person that makes others feel special. Be known for your kindness and grace.
