I don't get why it can be such a big deal to not drink..I think it's more rude to drink too much, make a fool of yourself and potentially drive home drunk..
I don't drink all that often and on the rare occasion we are out I couldn't care less if I have an alcoholic drink or not, it really doesn't phase me and it annoys me if people are persistent about it. Was worse before I had DD, at least now I have the 'excuse' of having to deal with a toddler the next day.
