I realized this early on. The simple way around it for me in college was to get a drink, pour out 2/3 of it and carry it around with me. As long as you have it with you, nobody tries to give you one. If it’s a beer, you can easily turn down offers of other drinks just by saying you don’t want to mix alcohol. Overall, a pretty simple solution to the social problem.
