yknow like every single time i've declined to drink alcohol with someone by saying i could not do it legally (because i was carrying a gun at the time), they have always gotten almost scared and asked if i was/am an alcoholic or something with quite a worried expression on their face. i don't get this because i've never heard of and can't find any law that prevents you from drinking alcohol even if you were somehow labeled an alcoholic or something.
