Discussion

Consider your reactions and responses to them. Perhaps listen. Or don't engage at all, and if the person is otherwise a friend, avoid contentious subjects unless you're both content to fight and argue.

Reserve judgement in other words?

Perhaps. It all depends on how much you want to know them and how likely getting in to conversations on difficult subjects is going to impact on that relationship.

Ask them, “help me understand why you believe that is true.”

Fairly innocuous question , not likely to cause an argument.

Absolutely. I’ve been trying to engage with more questions lately in my circles.👏

alcohol ... can get worse with it, but maybe not

Too much is dangerous , but not enough is lethal.
