I don't drink either, but I'm perfectly happy to answer "It's unhealthy and I don't like it" when people ask me why. Of course, I also try to avoid social interaction, so if this is a rude response it might not be as useful for others.


That's akin to declining chocolate from a fat person by saying "no thanks, it makes me fat". I don't drink for medical reasons , although I used to in my twenties. I don't feel the pressure to drink, but understand why some people feel they need a reason. Saying "I don't feel like it" should be sufficient for most people

If the fat person asks you why you don’t want it, there’s no reason to lie to them.


Just say you snorted some lines and don’t want to mix the drugs.


"I just found out I'm pregnant!"


Yeah, that might not fly for many of us here…
