My solution for when I don't feel like drinking. Fizzy water with a lime in it, people assume its a vodka tonic.

This is the same as a friend of mine. He drink Cranberry juice. It's too strong to just drink, so you sip it. Because of that, it makes it seem like you have drink on you.

Or people could just stop being so nosey and judgemental. Option 1 is easier though.

Yep, lime and soda is common in UK pubs for people who don't want alcohol but also don't want a sugar overdose.

To clarify a little bit - 'soda' in the UK refers only to fizzy water / 'club soda' - i.e. unsweetened.

(this isn't the case in the US, where it can refer to pretty much any canned sweetened drink - Coca Cola / Sprite / Dr Pepper / etc)

Thanks. I've long wondered what soda actually is!
