writes:I have a quick question. When someone offers to buy you a drink, is it rude to say yes please , or would you say it's rude to say no thanks ? or is it better to say are you sure ? i mean if it's a person you know. personally, i wouldnt accept a drink from a stranger, male or female. i dont usually like anyone buying me a drink, to be honest, as i would feel bad that they are spending money on me, but at the same time, it's probably rude to turn the offer down. I dont go out drinking very often, to be honest, so i'm not sure what is the right way to socialise when you're out drinking. I also find it difficult talking to people, especially people that i dont know very well, or dont know at all. i also dont like it sometimes when drunk men hit on me, as some of them try to grope you, kiss you, e.t.c. i think it's disgusting !.I also remember once, when a stranger, who was female, offered to buy me a drink, and i said no thanks, because i really didnt want one at the time, and , for some reason, she got offended. she looked at me like she thought i was strange. the thing is, i have limits as to how much i drink when i'm out too, and i had already reached my limit then.

If you want to have the drink, smile and say "That would be lovely, thank you".
If you don't, reply "That's a lovely offer, but not thank you".
It's not bad to accept someone's offer. If they want to buy you a drink, then don't feel like you're ripping them off to anything. But at the same time, you don't have to accept a drink and feel that it's rude.
