Do you think it's Awkward when MB and DB offer you drinks?

No. Why would that be awkward? If you want to drink and are of age, take it. If not, don't. I don't drink ever, so I say no thanks. The first time I'll I don't drink after that I'll just say no.

No because they are the ones offering now if I asked for a drink that would be a different story. But that being said I wouldn't accept an alcoholic beverage because I don't think it's appropriate/professional to do so.

I agree. Always say no thank you.

We sometimes offer the manny a drink when we get home at the end of the day and are making some for the two of us. He's off the clock and welcome to drink. I'd prefer, and am pretty sure DH feels the same, that he not drink while watching our DS, but at the end of a long day? Go for it.

Yes. I just say, "no thank you."

No, grow up. If you don't want one say no.

In the beginning I used to decline, until we were on vacation and I was jokingly teased at each meal because I wasn't drinking. So DB started ordering drinks for me. Now the bar is always stocked with my drink of choice and we all unwind once or twice a week with drinks.

I don't feel awkward. I won't get drunk though. Well once I had a little too much and just went to bed. I was sleeping over anyhow.

I say no a lot though.

Unless you're under the age of 21, why would it be awkward? It's not like they're asking you to get drunk and have a threesome. Jesus, people. Time to stop being so childish.

I live in and I think sometimes MB/DB offer me a glass of wine because they are pouring right in front of me. I've sat at the dinner table after work and had a few glasses with one of my bosses. I think it would be awkward if MB or DB offered me heavy spirits or more than one drink - I think I am trying to say it would be weird if MB/DB wanted to get drunk with me, but a drink or two is nice at the end of a long (or stressful) day

I have gotten drunk with my MB/DB before. I was a live-in and very good friends with my MB. She was super busy and neither got to go out much once they had kids. I was there when they finally went away for their first vacation sans kids. Since she didn't get to hang around with friends much, I became a built-in friend.

We knew how to act professional about everything, but also could go out and run errands together and drink socially. When they did have people over on occasion, I was always invited to hang out with them.

I still talk to her now and then, and just got a picture sent to me this morning of the boys (they are getting so big now at 6.5 and 8.5 yrs old!)
