Popping this one up to the top.
Always a great reminder!
Answers for the drink-pushers:
"No thanks, I've drank my share already."
"I stopped drinking and I feel so much better that I've decided to give it up."
"I'm trying to be healthier."
"I don't like the way alcohol makes me feel."
"I cut back and then just quit and now I can't see going back to drinking."
"I'm taking a break." (a break can last 60 years or so.
)
...and my favorite, "No thanks, I'll have a water please."
