Nice to find another life-long teetotaler. One of the most infuriating things is how confused people get when they hear that I don't drink, I have had people ask me how I am "able to have fun" and other similar things. I don't understand why people need to be in an altered state to have fun, I have plenty of fun and it seems like alcohol brings a lot of trouble. I'm not against alcohol, I think it can be used in a moral and responsible way, but the widespread dependence for social interaction is concerning.

Haha, yes. Also "alcohol and sex" - it always went like "you don't drink, so don't like sex either". I even started to suspect that some people have never experienced sex in a sober state, hence the link.

Even as a person that drinks sometimes, I find it annoying when people try to pressure me to drink if I don't want to. It's polite to offer but if someone says no than just ignore it.
