Maybe your grandfather says that too you because you don't often drink and when you do drink he gets excited? Social drinking is really important to many people and people like to drink with others so when one isnt drinking and others figure it out (from my experience) they will hound to find out why. Because drinking is generally an enjoyable experience. Thats just a thought. Whats unfortunate about that is when the person not drinking is an alcoholic.
I figure you arent bothered by your parents drinking because you grew up with it and are comfortable with it, but with you bf you are in a different social setting and maybe feeling more socially anxious...then add people acting like idiots when you are stone sober it would not be an enjoyable experience.
