Yeah no offence to anyone but I don't lie. For one thing people can't be on antibiotics for ever.
while I don't lie I don't spill my whole story either - either end of that spectrum would be inappropriate for me.
I just say no thanks, or if pressed I'm not drinking. If pressed further I don't like drinking anymore - it makes me ill.
You'll be amazed how quickly you become 'the non drinker' at your workplace
That can be a little off putting for a while, but it's like a badge of honour for me now.
