If you're not comfortable saying no, say "I'll think about it" or "maybe" then she can't say you outright refused. She is taking advantage of you and has no right. I'm a submissive, but if someone tried to dominate me like that I'd tell them to help themselves if they wanted a drink. She was born with 2 hands and 2 feet. If they are still functional then she has no excuse to waste your time.
Good luck, kid.

You both still live with your parents? If so talk to your mom and Dad about this. If you let your sister WALK all over you know, how will others not do the same later?
I would seriously stop doing what she asks. Unless it is your mess don't clean it up. As for getting a drink, well if you are getting one for yourself, sure you can grab one for her, though if hers is flat... tough cookies..
WHY can't you say no? It's not a bad or dirty word.
