minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 months agoI would say calling it booze is the problem, not calling it beer. “Booze,” at least to me, implies you’ll get drunk if you drink it. Plenty of people can have a beer and not even get tipsy. Just looking up the definition of the word, ‘intoxicating’ and ‘alcoholic’ is what dictionaries use to describe it.
