If true, this throws into relief the dialogue of "What is your alcohol consumption like?", "Just socially".
I mostly just tell people I don't drink at all
If I tell people that I drink "rarely", they put it into their own framework based on how often they drink themselves. Heavy drinkers might assume "rarely" means one night a week. Moderate drinkers might think a couple times a month
When I was young, I would always get asked why. I'm pushing 40 now, and people rarely ask anymore.
