However, if one does not drink alcohol, it is important not to allow peer pressure to convince you otherwise. Here are smart ways to say NO to alcohol.

1. No thanks, I've just finished one

The side effects of alcohol are only felt by an individual and not a group of people. Therefore, if you don't want to drink, you can say that you have just finished one and you are not willing to take another.

2. I'm driving

Since everyone is drinking, the best excuse that can save you from drinking is volunteering to drive. This can save you a lot as everyone knows that it is important that the one diving stays sober.

3. I don't drink

Another way to say no to alcohol is by letting your friends know that you don't drink. Not drinking is an individual choice and no one should judge you for it.
