> when I was offered a drink, I'd say "I don't drink", because here in Australia, I find if you say no to a drink, it's mostly forced on you I just avoid it as much as I can, but for me saying I don’t drink wouldn’t always work. People would just insist “just one drink”. Friend of mine said, as joke, I should start telling people that I am an alcoholic (which I am not) so they leave me alone. I actually tried this and it works every time.
