How to avoid weird looks at Christmas parties

The season is upon us and the wine/beer/spirits are starting to flow freely at office parties etc.....

Obviously, most of us will be avoiding the demon drink - I was wondering whether anyone had any quick and painless replies to that oft-repeated question: - 'Oh, you're not drinking then? poor you etc etc'.
Sometimes I just say that I'm driving but this often just triggers responses along the lines of 'why didn't you book a taxi' etc etc
Referring to 'stomach problems' etc seems a little enigmatic but clearly we don't want to divulge too much about our problems!
Can anyone think of a suitable one-liner?
Thanks for your help
p.s. happy christmas to you all!
