Boycott booze for a better Australia

Confidently saying no to alcohol always worked for me.  For example, “No, thanks anyway”, or “No thanks, I don’t drink alcohol”.  If you want to be less blunt, you could try “Not right now, thanks”, which implies that you might be a drinker, but doesn’t commit you to ever drinking. 

Or, if you want to shut down in advance questions about your reasons for not drinking, you could try “No thanks, I just don’t like the taste of alcohol”.  This has the added advantages of being hard to rationally argue with, and of reducing any risk of sounding judgmental, since it suggests that your decision is merely based on personal taste.  

Always remember that it’s fine to decline booze, and never impolite.  It’s your life, after all.  Alcohol isn’t worth it.       

Bradman didn’t get to be the best ever batsman by doing what other cricketers did.  He did his own thing and was around 60% better than the next best.  If we want the best society, then let’s not follow what’s been done before in Australia.  Let’s boycott alcohol, along with the sports where players permit themselves to be used as the tools of the alcohol industry.
