I tried it buh d way people looked @ me as if am worshipping idol is somtin I don't understand. So pls apart 4rm what people might say, is it a sin?

Its left for you yo Judge.

Saying it bad or good won't determine if it is or isn't.

One quick way of getting an answer from yourself is asking yourself if Jesus will do that....like they taught usbwhen we wered kids

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the
wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, psalm 1:1

Soft drink in a bear parlor? Na question you dey ask abi na joke?. If you are not going to drink want will take you to bear parlor. Can't you get ur soft drink somewhere else.

Abstain from all appearances of evil..

No its not. As long as those who are with you know that your stand in christ makes you say No to alcohol.
But world people like to judge sha, I remember Jesus had this same problem when he ate and drank with "sinners" such as Tax collectors etc

Don't be equally York with unbelievers
