This is why i do not go to places that serve alcohol. Its why ive mostly stopped going to shows/concerts; i invariably spend most of my night justifying to the increasingly inebriated people i interact w explaining why i dont drink.
I got shit on by the bartender at a Reverend Horton Heat show because i was the DD for some friends a few months ago, when i asked for a Coke to drink. I had to explain that i hadnt asked for a shot w a Coke chaser, but just a Coke. She actually asked me if my AA sponsor knew i was here. Im not in AA nor am i a problem drinker, im just not a fuckin drinker anymore.
Pretty sure this is the exact reason they invented "Liquid Death" (canned water with a cool label). I have yet to be hassled while holding a can of that.
Maybe next time i go out ill try asking for one of those.
