In my family, outside my immediate family, I told people I was drinking too much.
The response I have got usually is one of slightly wistful admiration. I think there are an awful lot of people who would like to drink less.
This is my experience as well. No one has pressed me; when I tell people I stopped drinking, the response is usually "good for you." I don't mention recovery, I just say "I don't drink."
