I don't drink either (I smoked weed until I moved to another country, though) and I have the same problem. In the USA there are now a lot more people who don't drink but at work Xmas parties it could get really uncomfortable and in Vietnam there is almost no such thing as a man who doesn't drink, and no such thing as any social gathering without beer.
If I say "I don't drink" they hear "I won't drink with you."
I had to do court-ordered counseling for weed once and by mistake they told me I needed to attend AA meetings, and gave me a booklet of meeting places and schedules. It was astonishing how many there were, a half dozen within a mile of my rural house, places I drove by every day.
There are a LOT of people having trouble with alcohol.
