My partner tells me that it's "tradition" to have a beer after mowing and a friend has confirmed this! Do you enjoy a beer after mowing or working in the yard?
I don't really do yard work. But the other day I spent 2 hours in the garden in the midday sun (stupid I know!) - and I very very very much enjoyed my beer after that! I'm not much of a beer drinker but that was just lovely!
You can just say I don't drink. I don't consume alcohol at social gatherings. Maybe I would have one beer for the year if I visit my mother in law's home.
