How to reject an alcoholic drink?

say you don't feel like drinking tonight. that should be enough reason. your friends sound like they just want you to have fun with them so you should prove to them that you don't need alcohol in your system to have a good time. They might even appreciate you being a designated driver for them

Just say, "No, thank you". Nothing else. Never explain and never apologize and don't feel embarrassed. It is perfect etiquette to refuse the offer of something politely, but it is intensely rude for someone to insist you explain yourself when you politely say no. It is your meek demeanor that makes people believe that you may be cajoled into imbibing. If you are firm with your answer, they won't be so quick to try to pressure you. What in the world are you doing with friends that won't take no for an answer and who try to pressure you into drinking alcohol against medical advice, anyway?

just say no

Just say "No thank you". If people ask why, tell them you are on a diet.

Just be honest with them and tell them the truth. If they are really your friends they will understand.

tell them you have some kind of common sickness ie a cold whatever something not embarassing and your on medication so you cant drink alcohol...tell them you have a really bad headache and you just took some aspirin, you dont wanna mix with alcohol..tell them youre allergic to a certain kind of wheat/grape used to distill most vodkas/rums/beers/wines (whatever is being drunk whatever applys) and tell them you cant take the chance of drinking liquors you dont whether they were processed in the same area..tell them alcoholism runs in your family and you are susceptible to it so you dont drink...tell them you drank sooo much last night your still hungover OR JUST STAND BY YOUR WORD when you say no just say i dont drink .

There are many reasons I don't drink- in fact I can't at all. It kinda bugs me that people demand reasons why I DON'T do something. But anyhow, if that's what it takes to shut people up, I tell them I have a bad liver. If they still don't get it, I tell them booze will make me sick.

If that doesn't stop people from pestering me, I leave.
