Have you tried talking with them about it, saying that you don't like it that much?
Sometimes it's surprising how well can it work.

If it won't, like someone said - do similar "jokes" to them :D call them drunken fatties or start asking when they will start eating carbon and smoking out of their asses, just don't let it become serious!

These situations is what humor is for. Just find a way to make them laugh about it.
Do you really want chat rooms?

My advice:

1: Don't give him the whole speech about not wanting to take his life advice because of where he is. That's insulting, unnecessary, and counter productive to your goal (which is a kinder working environment). It's true, but it's not cool to tell someone that. That's for his family and close friends to bug him about.

2. If it really bothers you so much, you can come up with excuses like "my family has a history of alcohol abuse," or "my grandparents all died of alcohol abuse," and such... It's not the most mature thing to do, but whatever, it gets to job done and it's not like anyone is going to harp you too bad if they find out... You can just tell them you were getting really pissed off and you'll both laugh.

3. You could just straight up ask them to stop it, because it's pissing you off. "It's my choice and I've made it, please shut up about it." Chances are they're just trying to be friendly and get you to socially drink with them because they don't realise how completely uninterested in it you are. They probably think they only reason you haven't drank is because no one's really put enough pressure inviting you to yet.

4. They're right, it is really odd to live in Canada and to have never drank by the age of 19. I don't know anyone like that. You might look down on these guys cause they're all blue collar, but even most people who are white collar drink on occasion. If you haven't drank with your friends in Canada by that age, you've at least been offered a glass of wine by your parents in most cases.

Honestly, whoever said that you should make up a story about your lack of tolerance was right.
Just bullshit them about how if you drink you'll just start puking all over the place or something. If it's too late to do that, or they don't believe you, just go with them one night, drink a beer or two, and than pretend your sick and run to the bathroom. Or pretend your drunk and act like a total ass.

I don't see anything wrong with going drinking with friends, you don't even have to drink every night if you don't feel like it but it seems like a waste to miss out on, at least go with them once. It's not gonna interfere with your studies if you time it right, every student here drinks.
