Yeah but why? I see two options: you are (1) uncomfortable with providing the reason or (2) have no problems with that. So I assume we deal with (1) here. But you have many options: instead of drinking sugary liquid that you may not even like and that is not good for your health, you can provide any reason you want, and liver problems is efficient and basically closes a discussion. (Many people won't even want to think about it as they might have bad AST/ALT ratios, too.)

The article does a great job of explaining how alienating for others is dealing with a non-drinker. I won't talk about it explicitly so others are more comfortable in these scenarios, even though I have no problem at all with being sober and talking about it if prompted.

Take my word for it. There are substances that are a lot more harmful to me.

It's a non-issue.

Why?

I don't like jail. It sucks.
