I personally did not care for the article (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3552363) because it was not technology related, at all. The only link it had to anything technology related was where the author worked.

If you don't like to drink, don't. If you like to drink, do so responsibly and be considerate to others.

Nobody has the right to make value judgements about other people's lifestyles, on this site.

I disagreed with that entire article, but the fact that it wasn't tech-related doesn't mean it wasn't suitable for HN - neither, for that matter, does the fact that you or I disagreed with it.

" because it was not technology related, at all. The only link it had to anything technology related was where the author worked."

I find articles like this interesting, regardless of the fact that they may be far from purely technical. I happen to think that technology is a means, not an end. Finding different perspectives on problems or circumstances that I may not have been exposed to allows me to better weigh pro's and con's of an issue and think of how technology could help solve/change/improve things.
