[quote=Anonymous]I deflect if I can. Maybe later or something like that. I don't like alcohol but saying anything about that or even a "no, thanks" opens up a can of worms. Whether its probing questions, or antagonism, or even people thinking you are gauche for not being into their expertly chosen wines, I really am not interested in whatever baggage prompts these behaviors. If someone hands me a drink, I'll take it and leave it somewhere later on or dispose of it. In some situations, I'd even buy a drink and carry it around like a prop all evening. I'm late 40s, so I'm very adroit at this, but I'd respect the fact that someone didnt want to jump through all these hoops. I regard it as the equivalent of covering my shoulders when traveling in a conservative country. Don't want to offend the locals.[/quote]
