I made the mistake of going to a nice bar with a girl who doesn't drink. That itself wasn't the mistake. But I'm a seasoned drinker (alcoholic) at the time and so looking for drinks the bartender suggested LIITs. I thought nothing of it because hey, a LIIT is a nice starter.

So we're chatting and drinking and after she has like a few mouthfuls I go "uh hey, actually maybe a bad choice of drink, would you like a coke or something instead?" Which she agreed to.

Seeing someone go red after a few sips was sobering (lol) and I'm glad I suggested a mixer to drink instead, because she admitted she would have felt obliged to drink it all, and it was tasty.

Moral of the story, suggest drinks based on other's drinking capability, not your own. Haven't made that mistake again, and glad it worked out okay. We had a good night anyway.
