Non-alcohol-drinkers are not that rare

I don’t eat dessert, and my family and friends wouldn’t offer me any. When I am out with some people, I notice they don’t like to order/eat dessert if I wasn’t having any, so I would usually tell them to order something and I would have an extra spoon, otherwise they may not order a dessert and be kind of grumpy. It is not hard for me to tell when I know I should have some dessert (usually few spoonfuls).

When I am out with a group of people, if bottles of wine are ordered, most people will have some even if they normally didn’t drink. They would just slowly take few sips to just to be social. I guess it is similar to what I do about dessert.
