Choosing not to drink is your choice to make. But if _almost everyone_ you talk to about it goes into defensive mode, that sounds really weird. Are you around people that don't react normally to social situations? "No thanks, I don't drink" is a common thing to hear for anybody.
- vladus2000 9y agoDepending upon tone, some people may view it as a "I am holier than thou" type comment. I cannot drink for legit medical reasons and when I tell people that the common reaction is "have a drink anyway" but I haven't had anyone be defensive about it.
