Or just tell them No. As long as you are not hurting anyone, you're under no obligation to justify your life choices to your co-workers.

I suppose some people might find that stand-offish, but the type of people who won't respect boundries on something as simple as this definitely won't respect boundries when it really matters.

If you refuse to befriend jerks, you'll tend to find yourself lonely often.

And if you never stand up for yourself, you'll find that all the people you befriend happen to be jerks.

In real life of course you have to find a balance. There is a line and its going to be different for every person
