Who really talks like that these days? lol I work at a huge bank. The multi-million dollar customers don't even talk to us like that, and we don't talk like that to them.
We say "good" or "alright" ... sometimes "fine"
I think "fine" has a little undertone of anger to it. "How are you?" "I'm fine." It's kind of like ... they're just annoyed that you're asking. Maybe it's all in how they say it. But, no one around here says "fine" (I'm from NY)

I don't think saying fine sounds rude, it depends with who you're talking to and how they say it and if it as the "thank you" on the end it's alright. But I usually say "Good" with people I just meet and "Doing O.K." with friends, but if you want to be polite I would suggest "I'm doing fine, thank you".
