Why not make it explicit to your friends that they are welcome to drink even if you're not drinking? I was at a BBQ yesterday, everyone was pissed, I just drank water... that wasn't a problem.
Just don't rub your non-drinking in people's faces, and let them drink as much as they want.

I think they were afraid that if they came to me, they'd have to drink tea and watch youtube video's all night or something.
- swombat 12y agoSimple solution is to invite them round, give them some beers, and sit down with your orange juice and be your usual self :-) Not drinking doesn't mean you can't have a well stocked drinks cabinet/fridge!
