I used to try to tell people that I got violent when drunk, and they still tried to make me drink, thinking it would be funny! Idiots! That's why I started the alcoholic angle.
On the not being sure about fish thing, I know that's not strictly true. But over the years I've found the push to drink several orders of magnitude greater than any other thing. Many people seem to accept that you don't want to eat this or that, don't want to drive fast, do drugs, etc, fairly promptly by comparison. In most social groups there seems to be at least one drinker who is pushy about it.
It's like people who try to get vegans to eat meat. They've made a conscious choice not to. You don't have to like, understand, or agree with it, but it's not being forced on you, so just bloody respect it.
