Me too
Probably the three most popular drinks in the world are tea, coffee and Coca Cola. I drink none of them, because I don't like hot drinks, and to me Coke tastes awful.
My gran used to go on at me about not drinking tea. "It's a social thing", she'd say. "You should take it. What happens if you're in company and you're offered a cup of tea?"
"I refuse politely, and drink water or milk or whatever instead", was my reply.
"But that's rude. You should drink tea". Etc etc.
So I countered with my own argument. She and my grandad were teetotal (the typical old-fashioned Presbyterian 'evil drink' attitude) so I said, "Well, what would you do if you were in a pub with friends and they were all drinking beer and wine and the like?"
"I'd just have a glass of orange juice", she replied.
"I rest my case".
