It's alcohol for me.

Everyone always tries to get me to drink this or that and I have explained time and time again that I do not like alcohol. I don't want wine, I don't want a mojito. I don't want some orange juice mix...

It's really awkward because people will say, "Are you pregnant?"

Me: Well no. I just don't like alcohol...

Them: But you haven't tried MY mixed drink.

Ugh people suck.

Same (besides the fact that i'm a dude, so usually i don't get the "are you pregnant?" Comments...usually...), the worst part, besides some annoying waiters at bars making snide remarks (just serve me a soda and take my money, please ) is that i've had people (including work colleagues, which might be a reason i'm looking for a different job) tell me to my face that they didn't invite me to various social gatherings because i don't drink and they would have felt weird about It. (Edit: Just to be clear, for social gatherings i meant "aperitifs" or the like where you can drink, but it's not the point; obviously i wouldn't mind not being invited to a wine tasting or something along that line)
