“Oh, I am allergic to alcohol,” I told him waving him off which is not far from the truth.
He got a quizzical look on his face.
“You sure you don’t want a Pabst?” he asked.
I shook my head firmly no. Alcohol makes me do stupid things like trying to super overclock my computer and destroying it without regards to the consequences. It completely and absolutely removes any and all of my inhibitions. I also know deep down in my heart that a few beers would entice me into driving down to the Circle K to buy cigarettes. Those two are like bedfellows to me.
“My music doesn’t bother you, does it?” I then used this opportunity to ask my neighbor.
“What music?” he replied. “I never hear any music.”
I have a home theater that can raise the dead. That made me feel better as he has been such a courteous neighbor to me. I am sure he would soon grow tired of Lisa Loeb’s Greatest Hits as much as I listen to that album.

I figured this day was coming. You did well. Maybe you have rehearsed in your head a few ways to decline such offers.
Nothing wrong with just saying no thanks....you don't have to explain anything....
Sir:
I am glad you have met your neighbor. He sounds like a real nice fellow. Hopefully the two of you can become friends.
