Unless your customers are teenagers, recent college grads, or maybe blue collar tough guys or the like, I really just don't see someone saying they don't drink as being perceived as anything odd or put offish, unless you make a bid deal of it or act self righteous about it. Most educated professionals have enough maturity about them to look over nonsense like drinking or not drinking, unless like has been said, you come off like it's a big deal. Just be yourself, be jovial and warm and normal people will accept you as such and warm up to you regardless.

This. I've been on numerous business type dinners where some folks drink and some folks don't. I can't say I've ever made it a point to try to note or care as to who's doing what.
