If you go for the non-alcoholic ones, the reaction is often blokey, "Nah, go on, have a beer!" or "What's wrong with ya?". And the push. Keeps. Going.
Many drinkers strongly insist that if they are having an alcoholic drink, you have to have one too. A lot of them seem to feel uncomfortable drinking booze if you aren't, so it becomes very important to make you drink as well, so they can feel ok about themselves.
At least, that's what I've picked up about the pushy ones.
