My dad used to take clients out all the time and did not drink and you have one of a few choices. 1) order one drink with them and you can either slowly sip on it or just let it sit there, but it will make them feel as if you are drinking. Option 2) Get there before them and order a Club Soda with lime, when they arrive it will look as if you are drinking and when the waitress comes you can just say, "May I have another". And it will give off the impression you are drinking and no one will be none the wiser!

What if she was like "another club soda?"

First off: I don't like drinking around non drinkers, it makes me nervous, which defeats the point of drinking.

However, on business, I'm okay with a non drinker.

If you are going to see the guys again this is a good choice.

If you aren't going to see them again, tell them that you are finishing up some medication and can't drink, but insist that they have one for you.
