A lot of people have difficulty with the term "alcoholic" whether in reference to themself or to a loved one so forget the label. I don't label myself an alcohol I'm just someone who does not drink, "I gave it up primarily for health reasons and have since loss the taste/desire for it". Depression and anxiety meds definetly do not mix well with alcohol (alcohol can cause the meds to not work properly and/or cause dangerous results) so that is certainly a reason you can use for not drinking if people get persistant.
