[Nyororin]

My husband also doesn`t drink - or rather, at least not while out. He will have an occasional drink at home - but hates beer with a passion.

As long as it`s clear from the start, it`s never a problem. His co workers know he doesn`t drink much, but out of politeness he will accept one beer and take a sip after the 乾杯... And then order something else.

No one seems to think anything of it.
