As someone who has been sober for 10+ years and still avoids events where alcohol is served, the word Gin doesn't cause me any stress. Just one point of anecdata.
Congrats on your sobriety! I'm creeping up on 8 years myself. I agree Gin doesn't phase me at all. That said, I could see it bothering some people, but I think that's part of the process. The stronger one's sobriety gets the less likely something like this will bother them.
