Answer:Yes He is been discriminated on

Explanation: Believe that if we are co-workers working in a place together and drinking together, there should be a level of friendship involved. For a level of friendship involved that warrant us drinking together, will still enable his co-staff to accept him for for who he is. Most of his fellow staff can be drunkards, some even womanizers. Why then are they accepted and He is not. I believe they are hypocrite and he should not be friends or even drink with them. If they want his hand of friendship, then they should allow him to be able to show his partner without being discriminated or looked down on.
