It's just as bad in tech. I've been trying to limit my alcohol intake because I just don't care for spending money on it anymore and I overall just don't care for it anymore. The blowback has been surprising. Sly comments and side glances galore.

I've not suffered from this first-hand, but I've definitely seen it happen to other people - either bizarre, almost frat-like hazing, or the sly glances as you mention takes place at some tech events/socials when someone says they don't drink.
Not all the time. Or even the majority of the time. But it's happened more than a handful of time.
