I've been in similar situations. Lots of people in the church are very against 
alcohol and even the young people have some stigma against it. I think it 
stems from the fact that lots of kids of alcoholics wind up "finding the 
light". 

I totally understand where this user is coming from, however I think the best 
thing to do is, as you have said, either don't hide it, or be discrete and 
drink at home or with your other drinking friends.

As for different glasses, I was always told that beer had to be in it's own 
glass, because if a carbonated drink was in it before that it would affect the 
quality of the beer or head.
