You can be morally against the product without treating those who drink it as "abnormal." "Normal" is one of those words that are problematic in this issue. At least "acceptance" and "tolerance" mean two different things. Normal has multiple, conflicting meanings. Homosexuality is normal in the sense that it occurs naturally. But it is not normal in the sense that is the standard pattern. And whether it is normal in the sense of acceptable as opposed to tolerable as opposed to intolerable is a matter of opinion. I'm not sure which meaning the opponents are using when the express fear of normalization, acceptance or increased demographics. Lousy word best not used in this context, IMO.
