          Like in the other question, Italian (unlike English) uses double negatives. Mai is used with non to say "they never drink beer. Where I personally am confused is if one takes out the mai, will it still bean the same thing? Here's a link for double negatives: http://italian.about.com/library/fare/blfare141a.htm

            "They don't drink beer at all" works?

              They do not drink beer ever was marked wrong and said it should be they do not ever drink beer. Really?

                Mai strengthens the non from do not to never.
