Politically Active/ devout?, whether Anarchist, Communist, Capitalist, Socialist, etc you're annoyingly political.

Teetotaler. You avoid alcoholic beverages on general principles, whether due to religious reasons, you're a recovering alcoholic, or simply because you don't care for the taste.

My character in the current campaign has this!

That is an odious personal habit.
Quiet devotion is a quirk.

To me, in the real world, alcohol tastes horrendous. It's not that uncommon.
How many people drink non-alcoholic beer? ;)

Oh, Johan, do you have names for your quirks above?

I don't, because it tastes as bad as usual beer. I'm very close to having this quirk (I do drink a glass of TASTY wine during celebrations of New Year, birthday etc.).

Once in a long while I will drink hard liquor medicinally. Sadly, in the U.S., alcohol is the only over the counter muscle relaxant and really effective pain killer.

My father used to walk around the house in his "tighty whities". I vowed never to do that as an adult. Then living with my life mate made me comfortable with my body. We've had pants-less days. :)

Sure, you could base it on OPH. At the quirk level, the reaction penalty just would not come up often.

Annoyingly political is an odious personal habit in nearly everyone's book.
