I find myself explaining why I'm not drinking all the time, when just a no should be enough. And I don't like it.

I've worked as a server before and I was personally never told to push people to order alcohol,but I know that happens in some places, because like you said the mark up.

I would be very uncomfortable with a server, especially a male one pushing alcohol on me like that. And I can't believe a waiter went as to bring you booze when you said no, I wouldn't be okay with that.

No should ALWAYS be enough. With everything. But we are also trained, especially as women, to 'soften' the no with an explanation.

It definitely seems to be more a thing up here in Washington than it ever was in California, but I'm not sure why. Though the guy who brought me booze when I said no was in LA. He was one of those guys who walk around with a shots holster whose ONLY job is to get people to buy shots, and the others at my table were getting them, which is probably why he felt okay going that extra step. :/
