Adam Sinclair discreetly avoided the drink he was offered, declining, "My stomach hasn't been well lately. The doctor advised me to steer clear of alcohol."
"Come on, that excuse might work on others, but not on me."
He rubbed his temples and still refused, "I really can't drink. After this, I need to go to my girlfriend's place. She doesn't like me drinking."
Olivia Lewis doesn't like the smell of alcohol. Whenever he comes back from an event with alcohol on his clothes, he can't get into bed and ends up sleeping on the couch.
Over time, he's gotten used to drinking less at social gatherings, avoiding alcohol unless it's absolutely necessary. With private gatherings like today, drinking or not doesn't affect much, so he chooses not to drink.
