I was at an "Olive Garden" restaurant not long ago. They're big on their wine list and promoting it.
When the waitress handed me the wine list I handed it back and said "I'll have some liver with fava beans and a nice chianti". She looked at me completely dumbfounded as the place erupted in laughter. I said, "I don't partake of the fruit of the vine" and still she stood there in complete mental melt down trying to comprehend.
I finally said, "I don't drink; can I just get a glass of water and a cup of coffee."
