If people think it is strange you are not drinking you can mitigate this in a few ways:
1) Order a club soda with ice and a lime in the same glass they are serving something like Vodka soda.
2) Tell them you have an early meeting
3) Tell them you have emails to follow up on after the event.

Its like anything else. E.g. some people obsess over board games, some people like board games now and then, and some people really hate board games. If your friend group is based mostly around board games and you dont want to play board games anymore, in the long term, its probably best to find some non-board game obsessed friends. Same goes for drinking.
