Drinkers and non drinkers.

I refuse to drink even it will annoy who invites me to drink.

we don't drink at all either anymore...i don't go out with any drinkers...it seems like they do not want to hang out with us anymore, but it doesn't really bother me...i just don't see any point in going out and getting drunk so I guess they figure i'd rather stay home and maybe they are right :)

I had a very serious drink problem. I can't drink any more; my metabolism rejects it. I prefer socialising during the day now; just coffees and teas.

Hello sarahruthbeth22, I don't drink and I have never done that. When I am with someone who drinks and doesn't know about me that I don't, and offers me a drink, I don't refuse directly, I just say that I would take simple water. If the other person understands, which they usually do, well and good, if not, well then, I tell straightforwardly that I am not used to drinking. I haven't seen anybody upset over this though!:-)

I am a social drinker. But I don't have to drink, and I certainly don't drink if I'm going to be driving. I'm okay with nondrinkers. Just like being a vegetarian, it's a matter of preference.

I drink but not all the time. But when I drink with non-drinkers around I always respect our differences and I don't really coax them to drink. I always try to be sensitive towards their feelings and I don't tend to over-analyze them and come into fancy but inaccurate conclusions. I also offer them at times as a sign of courtesy but if they say no, I always respect their decision. If they say say but they tell me they're afraid to do so, then I recognize their decision. If they do not want to see people drinking in front of them and I am really itching for a hot, then I always excuse myself. I think that's how it should be.

hi sarah! ^__^ I'm a drinker but its okay for me when a non-drinker says no to my offer. its their choice and I respect it. although, if I am drunk already and I offer a drink to a non-drinker and that person refused, there's a tendency that I might get offended depending on my mood. if I am feeling depressed while drinking, then I might get offended easily. but if I'm feeling merry, I couldn't care less if someone refused my offered drink. ^__^ but I don't usually offer a drink to a drinker or non-drinker so there'd be less chance that i'd be in this kind of situation. ^__^;;

I'm not a social drinker. And if I tried to offer anyone a drink it'd be a coke (my staple soft drink ^^ and I did do this once for someone). I don't feel offended at all on any of this, nor do I feel uncomfortable around a non-drinker (unless of course they became judgmental, but again I don't drink outside).

I think when you ask some body to have a little drink when they refuse you ,i will feel a little awkard.but i don't much care with it .some of my friends are non drinkers.they will feel bad when they only drink a little.one of my friend can breath well when she drink.so i don't let her drink,even a little. I think drink can make a good atomsphere.I like drink with my eld brother only

Drinkers or nondrinkers... they do not bother me. It is smokers that bother me. I cant stand the smell. I will politey leave. (No point in being rude) (he he.. I used to be a smoker many years ago)

I only drink during special occasions, I have some instances that I offer to someone some drinks but I really don't mind if he or she declines. For me its about respect. Forcing someone to say yes even of he or she doesn't like it is like violating his/her right.
