In the US it’s far more acceptable. I don’t drink and while I’ve been offered, no one ever pushes back. And I’ve never had problems being the only one at part

- bradlys 2y agoThis is YMMV. I still get a lot of “why don’t you drink?!! Come on, man!!” in the US. Especially in a city like NYC - you’re signing up to be a bit of a social outcast.
- siamese_puff 2y agoI disassociate from allowing people like this into my life now.
- moralestapia 2y agoGood for you. However, in society at large, social influence (excuse the bit of circularity) is an extremely powerful force driving people's lifestyle.
