Thankyou so much everyone, lots of different approaches here, it's really interesting to get differing perspectives on this topic.
I can appreciate the comment eventide made about not wanting to appear 'afraid' of this substance, however just having it here so I can walk past it and give myself a imaginary pat on the back is not really necessary... haha
I would still allow others to drink here too, it is my choice not to drink anymore others drinking in my company does not affect me thankfully.
