  The easiest way to say no to a drink is just simply, NO ThankYou. If they dont like that answer thats their problem not yours. You stand your ground and be proud of your answer. Too bad what others think. People are always going to think what they want anyway, so why bother worrying about it. All you have to do is just be the best you that you can be and to hell with the rest!

  This is so silly. Gives me some new insight into the apparent rudeness of alcohol consumers! If these kinds of common courtesies need to be spelled out, can someone tell me again why those of us who have never used alcohol have to feel like WE have something to explain? Reminds me of the old "set-up question": Have you stopped beating your wife? The need to publish this article tells alot more about the rudeness of alcohol users than it does about anyone else.

  I have to disagree with one suggestion. Inviting someone to a dry new year's eve party is fine, but it shouldn't be a surprise. Some people may enjoy a cocktail of champagne toast, as it is commonly associated with that particular holiday, and may have made different arrangements if they had known they commited to a dry party beforehand.
