Vent away! I feel you.

It's kind of the same with many other things in life, though. For everyone. If you're on a keto or gluten-free diet, for example, you won't eat the bread on the table even though everyone else is. If you don't drink coffee, people will still invite you "out to coffee" as an event. People who look like one gender when they identify as another will still have to correct people who use the wrong pronouns for them. I can think of a million more examples. If you don't want to drink, the discomfort you are feeling is just the discomfort of social norms being imposed on you. It sucks, but don't give it more power than it deserves.
