Yeh funny how drink and cigarettes are treated differently
For example, if I went out and someone offered me a cigarette and I said "no thanks, I don't smoke", I get the "oh, good man. I wish I hadn't started, etc etc."

However on several occasions when I just haven't felt like drinking alcohol (or have been driving) and I ask for a soft drink after someone offers to buy me a beer, I get, "what's up with you? Don't be so bloody antisocial/boring/queer, etc.". Usually from the people who are "socially vomiting & pissing" on the pavements later that evening.

Top OP, by the way - that is how my ex stopped smoking.
