Im not trying to be offensive or anything. But i just want to know why whenever someone asks a question that offends them in some way, they say; drink. What is this supposed to mean? I dont understand it.

It's the Pascal's Wager Drinking Game.
Ostensibly, the rules are: Whenever anyone posts a question that boils down to Pascal's Wager (Why not believe in God, since you have nothing to lose by doing so?), take a shot.
I don't drink much alcohol, and I know it really impairs my typing skills, so if I drink, it's soda pop. But posting
Over time, more and more questions were added, since so many questions are asked so many times.
Some others:
If we came from monkies, why are there still monkies?
Do atheists have morals/ Why don't atheists just murder and rape everyone, since morals come from God?
What do atheists say during sex? (My standard answer: I'm so good I call out my own name.)

Personally, I don't do it. But I think it means that certain questions are asked so often that you can make a drinking game out of them.
Like if you were watching a horror movie and agreed to"drink" everytime a main character did something really predictable, like go off alone into the woods to investigate.

Ironically, it's from the bible. Ecclesiastes 8:15 (as an atheist, my favorite book of the bible).
"So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun."
Eat, drink and be merry. It is about enjoying the life we have here on earth with our loved ones. Ecclesiastes also says there is no afterlife, so enjoy this one (although Christians won't admit that's what it says).
So, if you are old enough, have a drink and enjoy life. If you aren't old enough, have a can of your favorite soda, get with some friends and laugh. That is what makes like worth living.

Oh don't worry, it's not because we're offended by a question. It means that it's a question that has been asked too many times, or is very ignorant-- either way, the question does not merit an answer. So it's a drinking game: if you find a question that has been asked too much or is too ridiculous or doesn't otherwise merit answering, take a shot :) It's very fun.

Any event that happens frequently tends to be taken as the queue for a "drinking game." In the R&S section, people ask "If we came from monkeys why are there still monkeys?" (e.g.) about 100 times a day, so it's become the occasion for drinks.

It is a question that has been asked ad nauseum. These include, but are not limited to
"Why are atheists in R&S"
"If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys"
"Pascal's Wager"
"Why do atheists hate God?"
"Watchmaker's Argument"
Also the Catholics may drink whenever anyone asks the questions "Why do Catholics worship Mary and the saints" or "why are priests called father"
Ironically this question is a drink question, so *cheers*.

A person can be an A**hole no matter what stance they take on religion.
Christians and Atheist will always duke it out.
At least until Christianity dies out like the Greek,Roman and Egyptian religions....however; there will always be atheists in some form or another.
Next the atheists will fight with the next group of the devotees of whatever religion are prevelant in the coming centuries.
(If we don't wipe ourselves out fighting about religion first)

Some questions are asked on this forum so often that they inspired a virtual drinking game. It was actually supposed to include questions that are commonly asked of believers, too.
(Such as, "Can God make a rock so big He can't move it?")
The believers either got tired of the game, or people stopped asking the questions that would make them "drink."

Offense isn't the thing. Repetition is.... a drinkable question is one we've heard a million times. And probably enough times that by now we aren't necessarily offended.
A question about "why are you in this section" can only be offensive so many times, after a while it's just annoying.

When a question is asked so often that it's like playing a drinking game...it's been going on for over seven months now, with tons of questions about it. You're free to browse through those...
