You're right. I did get that kind of pressure at college parties. Really, people will be happy as long as you have one drink; the further teasing and egging on is just some stupid ritual program that doesn't mean anything to them. It's definitely weird to put yourself in a situation where people are gathered to drink+have fun, and not drink at all.
