How do you tell friends you quit drinking?

...esp friends that you typically get together and drink with when visiting or doing stuff? Best way to say it without seeming irrational, judgemental, or weird?

"I quit drinking." "I don't drink anymore."

Just tell them you decided it's not for you. If they're friends, they'll respect you for it. I rarely drink-like maybe once a year if that. I hang out with drinkers and it's never a problem.

You could always say you are taking a break from alcohol and never come off of it.

No thanks. I quit drinking.
JESUS CHRIST MAN, I'm not going to be here every day to walk you through life.

This is what I did.
Just stop. If they mention it, just say I quit, if they give you shite tell them to shut up. After a while you will realize no one even notices if you don't drink. And if your self conscious, get a tonic and lime and sip on that, no one can tell that it's not a drink

When they ask if you want some alcohol just say, "not today".

I tell them it's doctors orders. Of course that's the truth in my case so not sure how that would work for you.

Make sure to tell them whether or not you are okay if they drink around you.
If you can't handle them drinking around you, they will respect it, but there will be some changes in y'all's relationship - necessary changes.
If you are truly not bothered by them drinking around you, make sure they know and can truly believe you are telling the truth. Be sure to tell them specifically what might be tempting and what's no temptation at all. Otherwise, they'll always worry about whether they should be drinking around you.

Why would you immediately go this route with friends? Just let them talk a little shite, say no really I'm trying to clean it up, and move on.
This is why I drink. Stopping immediately turns you into a huge humorless pussy.
