Totally agree with Soberwolf but for myself different situations call for different reasons!! With family I say i don't drink & that is never a problem but when I'm out with friends or co-workers I use the Roseacea or Gout excuse!! LOL Only trouble is I get 20 questions on the ailments!!! so have to be clued up!! To be honest it dosnt bother me if I did say i don't drink but I just get fed up with people keep asking just have one at least one, with Roseacea or Gout it nips it straight in the bud.. & people don't bother me..
