that is a harmful stereotype. There are Polish people who never drink. I know many. With various reasons.
No offence intended. However, I find it odd that the Polish Duo team seems to put an effort into explicitly and deliberately countering known stereotypes.
none taken :). But knowing how to refuse is a good thing. (It's easier to say I can't drink, or I don't drink today, than saying no more after few shots.)
It is, but using the subject pronoun in a simple sentence like that one is rarely natural. That suggests "You drink? Pfff, WE never drink!". It puts more stress on the subject. But we always accept it.
Never as always,sometimes shows how often you do something, + dont drink+nie pijemy
Yes, they do. Double negative is a must in Polish in sentences with words like "nigdy" (never), "nikt" (no one), "nigdzie" (nowhere) and so on.
A sentence without it ("Nigdy pijemy")... doesn't really have any meaning, it's just nonsense.
Incorrect for two reasons, "pijem" should be "piję", and yes, you need "nie".
