Drinking is not a moral issue. It's a health issue. If I am an alcoholic, have other health problems that prevent me from drinking, or just don't want to drink because I value my health, I certainly shouldn't have to go along with it because it makes some people uncomfortable. Those people are the ones who should be taking a look at themselves and their problem with someone not drinking. It is not my responsibility to make others feel better at my own expense because they can't deal with their own insecurities. If I had a peanut allergy and someone offered me peanuts, should I just not rock the boat and go along with it? No peanuts for me tonight. Then they'll ask again and again. Why not just set them straight in the first place? If that doesn't go over well, it's probably a good idea to not be around those people anyway because those people obviously have no capacity for respect.
