I'll write more later, have some stories to tell on the topic.
I would be bothered if people decided not to drink just because I'm not. It would make me feel awkward. I avoid such moments by encouraging people to drink if they please, and telling them that I'd be glad to be their DD. Bartenders usually get a kick out of my milk-with-ice drink order, they often present it with funny names like cow on the rocks.
The only reason I can think of that would make me ask someone to not drink in front of children is if that person had a known history of disorderly conduct while under the influence.
