[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5630281, member: 10479"] One PC not drinking and refusing any interaction in taverns (common rooms, long houses, and other places where one typical activity is drinking) is a character choice. None of your PCs drinking and avoiding all drinking establishments (despite other activities happening there of a non-drinking variety) is a player choice that I don't think you can expect the DM and other players to go far out of their way to accomodate. I don't think anyone would say that choice is wrong, but the consequences of that choice are yours to bear and likely it can be inconvenient for you sometimes. Passing the inconvenience on to a group of people who don't share the view that leads to your player choice is probably not going to fly with a majority of players. Some DMs ask a player (or players) to step out of the room if their PCs are not to be privvy to what is happening in-game. Perhaps you could find a book to read elsewhere in the gaming location, or involve yourself in some other activity like a console game or miniatures painting, when this comes up in your games.
