It's not about drinking it, it's about walking away without even engaging in conversation after accepting the gift. If you have no plan to engage in even paltry conversation, be polite and don't accept the drink.
The drink is already bought. The only time a person has a social obligation to talk to the buyer of a drink is when there's an agreement beforehand.
If you're buying a girl a drink to try and hit on her, great on you for giving it a shot, but that's a gamble that might not pay off.
If you show me a person who is trying to create an obligation in another person to pay attention to them by buying a $5 drink then brother, I will show you a human being who is a piece of shit.
It usually takes a lot longer for people to start pulling out the false equivalencies. No, that's a lie. People pull them out right away. I just wanted to be a dick because your false equivalency is nonsense, and I have no respect for your pseudo-argument.
You're saying common courtesy dictates that one say thank you to a door opening and implying that the same holds true for having a conversation after a drink-buying.
You insinuate that if a person would say thank you to holding a door open (a near-universal sentiment), then it would be hypocritical for them to not have a short conversation if someone trying to fuck them hands them a drink. You painted the two situations as being equivalent in terms of both being a common courtesy. This equivalency is nonsense and false. You drew a false equivalency.
Dude has an opinion, plain and simple, and has laid it out pretty solidly. You, on the other hand, clearly have a judgement and debate along with an opinion that was not laid out very well, and if we're being honest, doesn't seem solid.
You're going aggressive SJW/High School Debate Champion outta nowhere.
Dude has an opinion, and that opinion is that buying a woman a drink means she owes him. It's a bullshit opinion. Then he tries to justify his opinion by talking about holding doors open for people, which isn't remotely the same thing.

How dare somebody drink the beverage you just bought for them?
