I'm in the same boat mate, although not for religious purposes. I often get fed up with having to justify not drinking or people always pushing me, so I just say I'm religious and they leave it alone lol.

to be honest, if alcohol is prohibited in your religion then you shouldn't be a member of that religion. a religion shouldn't be threatening you to not drink.

Order soft drinks when out?
If clubbing just really isn't your thing, don't worry! There are tons of societies for you to join to meet like-minded people and while they might have one night out a week, the main focus isn't on alcohol ^^

I was in the same situation last year. However, I chose not to drink as I drive to and from uni. Your best choice is to join societies. They're a fantastic way to meet people with similar interests, and as has previously been said, their main focus is not on drinking.
However, most society meets are in the evenings, so be prepared to make the university library your second home as you will spend long days in there doing work waiting for the time of your meet up to roll around..!
I hope that helps.

the idea of you saying you should leave a religion because it doesn't allow you to drink is counted as being ignorant because it implies how you have a lack of knowledge on religion and this is the best advice you could give rather than giving some actual feedback
