Teetotalism refers to either the practice of or the promotion of complete abstinence from alcoholic beverages. A person who practices (and possibly advocates) teetotalism is called a teetotaler.
This is particularly noticeable when a badass character with a Dark and Troubled Past curiously abstains from drinking with the rest of the group, but can happen with any type of personality.
Common reasons for refusal to drink include:
They want to keep their wits about them
They're a recovering alcoholic
Someone close to them died from alcoholism
They came from a family of alcoholics
They had traumatic experiences in their childhood related to alcoholism
Their bastard parent was a drunk
They're secretly pregnant and have sworn off alcohol to protect their baby
Their faith forbids alcohol
They have a medical intolerance to alcohol, meaning that even imbibing small amounts can cause them physical discomfort
They Cant Hold Their Liquor
They believe that drinking even in moderation is unhealthy
Alcohol doesn’t mix with the pills they have to take for a physical or mental condition
They're professionally required to be sober at all times, in case they're suddenly called on duty
They just don't like the taste of alcoholic drinks
They're the Designated Driver; someone has to get their friends home safely, and "drunk person behind the wheel" is the total opposite of "safely".
A common prank is to trick this person into drinking a "Long Island Iced Tea" (which is an alcoholic drink), something which could be extremely dangerous to do in Real Life if there is a medical or addiction-related reason the person doesn't drink, and would be considered a felony in many jurisdictions. If this character ever utters the words "I Need a Freaking Drink!", it is usually a sign that things have gotten really bad.
See also Straight Edge, Smug Straight Edge, Straight Edge Evil, and the Dry Crusader who is the more militant and self-righteous version of The Teetotaler. Unrelated to I Do Not Drink Wine. Direct opposite of The Alcoholic. These people often prefer a cup of tea — though that's not where the "tee" in teetotaler comes from, common myth to the contrary. It's from "T-Total Abstinence." note Early temperance organizations would often allow members to consume limited amounts of beverage alcohol. Members who chose to abstain from all beverage alcohol would have their names marked on the roster with a "T". Sometimes used to describe one who refuses to use other recreational drugs as well.

Tara is not just a teetotaler, on TNA Impact it was revealed she did not even know what beer was, was visibly disgusted by its taste, and only agreed to drink more because she was in a feud with ODB and Kevin Nash would not allow the two to have a match unless they both drank a six-pack immediately beforehand.

Probe's "Quit-It": One of the things that stands out as odd to Austin is that the entire neighborhood adults refuse to drink or smoke (except the one guy who doesn't have any kids). He can even detect the signs of past drug use, but they don't exhibit any withdrawal symptoms. This is interesting enough for him to try investigating what happened.

Several James Bond villains include this as part of their Straight Edge Evil personas, including Goldfinger and Blofeld. It's implied in Thunderball that Blofeld imposes abstinence on the upper echelon of SPECTRE as well, except as necessary to maintain cover.

The Simpsons:
In the episode "Duffless", Homer Simpson has to become this for a month after he's arrested for drunk driving. Marge points this out and he makes a promise to her to stop drinking for a month starting the next day. He drinks a beer can in bed before going to sleep.
Episodes set in the future starting with "Holidays of Future Passed" show that Homer gives up drinking. "Mr Lisa's Opus" shows he gives up drinking when Marge threatens to leave him over it and specifies that he never drinks again.
Being a Straw Political and foil to Homer, Ned Flanders is portrayed as this in later episodes, though prior to Flanderization, he was shown to own a bar within his home.

The Phantom:
The titular hero never drinks, which appears to go in the family. He is at one point revealed to have a drinks cabinet filled with 300+ years' worth of various vines and other spirits that have been gifted to the Phantoms over the years, still unopened because neither he nor any of his forefathers have ever touched any of it. His trademark drink is milk — which, no matter how seedy the bar he walks into is, they always have a bottle of somewhere.
His now college-aged daughter Heloise is apparently continuing the tradition, with an amusing side-story detailing her college roommate Kadia's spectacularly failed attempt to drag her into a Girl's Night Out Episode, where her offer to buy her a beer was met with a completely straight-faced "I am not even in the mood for milk". Then a random guy got grabby and a Bar Brawl started and she kicked their asses and she said that the next evening would be spent studying for their exams.
A 2020 story had her father Kit Walker (The 21st Phantom) visit her together with her mother Diana, and they and Heloise and her roommate Kadia went out for dinner. And it is casually shown that while all four of them were given wine to dinner, both Kit and Heloise are shown covering their full glasses when they are offered a refill by their waiter.

Scott Pilgrim: The title character attempts at being this. However, his friends usually end up coercing him into drinking anyway, and he doesn't seem to enjoy it. It's slightly hinted that it's because his dark side tends to manifest itself when he's drunk. While we never see or hear of him doing anything bad while drunk, it was his being drunk that led him to spark the argument between him and his then-girlfriend Natalie "Envy" Adams that causes the end of their already-shaky relationship (due to her usurping control of their band and changing it against the wishes of the others as well as she may have been cheating on him. It's also suggested that due to his Never My Fault attitude and belief that he is the hero of his own story this is a lie he tells to make himself look better. Most of the time he doesn't drink simply because he can't afford to.

On Hawaii Five-0, Max Bergman is never shown drinking, even when celebrating with the rest of the team (he also doesn't eat shrimp, but that's due to an allergy). The reason is never stated or called attention to, though since Max is incredibly meticulous and is described as "some kind of savant", it may simply be that he finds the taste objectionable.

Dungeon Keeper Ami: Ami, as a law abiding Japanese teenager comes across as this to people around her. She's (techically) an Evil Overlord in a medieval Europe-based land, who is expected to embrace vices while also being able to manufacture anything she wants so she is expected to drink. The only time she did, was to try to numb the pain of having been responsible for deaths, and that drinking led to her embarrassing herself, so she isn't seen drinking again, even though she has explicit permission from her mother.

Discworld:
Commander Vimes stopped drinking entirely around Men at Arms because he's a recovering alcoholic and doesn't want to get back onto that slippery slope at all. Although his body doesn't make enough natural alcohol, leading to him being in a constant state of knurd. Being knurd means you can't block out all the imperfections and failings of the world around you and constantly see everything at its worst. One time, he listed forcing him to tip away an entire bottle of single malt whiskey to be worse than murder.
Captain Carrot (surprisingly, given he was raised by dwarfs): In Guards! Guards! he was "persuaded to try a small shandy, and didn't like it much", and in Men at Arms he drowns his sorrows in milk.
Magrat Garlick, although she's been a victim of Intoxication Ensues once or twice.
In Unseen Academicals, it's noted that Vetinari doesn't drink, right before he drinks twelve pints of beer and barely gets drunk. Vimes also mentions in The Truth that as far as he can tell Vetinari doesn't drink.
In Hogfather, Violet the tooth fairy is a member of Offler's League of Temperance, which is one of the things that attracts the Oh God of Hangovers to her. The Cheerful Fairy also says she never touches alcohol, which confuses the wizards who see it as one of the few things worth being cheerful about.

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Ralph observes that he's never seen Felix at Tapper's (where people ORDER root beer but whose cabinet is the original bar version) before the events of the film. After Felix and Calhoun adopt the 15 gameless racers of Sugar Rush, the first night is an exception.

Captain Jack Harkness in the first season of Torchwood only has one drink: to raise his glass to a fallen soldier. Otherwise, he's always drinking plain water while whoever he's drinking with has something alcoholic. This becomes even more conspicuous if one considers his original Doctor Who characterisation which included a habit of heavy drinking. He much prefers good coffee over tea, though, being space American.

Sheldon of The Big Bang Theory almost never drinks; if the others are having alcohol with their dinner, he'll have a glass of milk or perhaps water (likely Depending on the Writer). On the rare occasions he does get some alcohol, he absolutely Can't Hold His Liquor and turns into a stumbling, slurring mess willing to ramble about anything or climb on a table after a single sip.

Deadwood:
Seth Bullock. In contrast to the frequent use of alcohol by other characters (Doc Cochran, Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickock, Al Swearengen, and his men), Bullock rarely drinks at all. He only does so once during the first season, and it's done with Swearengen as a toast at the end of their conversation.
Also of Deadwood, A.W.Merrick, who is the recovering alcoholic type, save for a couple of episodes where he falls Off the Wagon

American Dad!: Surprisingly, Stan Smith might be this trope if one compares him to other characters on the show as well as sister shows created by Seth MacFarlane like Family Guy and The Simpsons. He does not frequent bars like Peter Griffin, does not have a favorite hard drink like Homer Simpson, and is especially this trope compared to Roger Smith, who fits The Alcoholic, The Bartender, and the Drunken Master tropes. The times that he drinks, smokes, does some type of drug, goes to a bar or become intoxicated can each be counted on one or no hand individually and all together using both hands or just one hand.

Marvel Universe:
Captain America: The title character doesn't touch the stuff, though not for reasons of principle or lifestyle: thanks to the Super Soldier serum, Steve Rogers's system processes alcohol so efficiently that he literally can't get drunk.
Iron Man: After recovering from his drunken fall from grace, Tony Stark abstained. However, it remains to see if it stuck after he sacrificed it to get Odin's attention. After his inversion in AXIS, Tony started drinking again.
The Order (2007): Henry Hellrung is a former drinking buddy of Tony Stark. After it ruined his acting career, he became a sober celebrity and ended up helping Stark get sober. He himself has been sober for at least two decades.
Slingers: Richie Gilmore, better known as Prodigy, became a drunk after his team fell apart, and ended up getting his ass handed to him by Iron Man as the first superhero to be arrested under the SHRA. He later got sober and apparently redeemed himself enough to be recruited to lead a team during the events of Fear Itself.
Spider-Man: Peter Parker never touched the stuff; in fact, in one episode, where he was tricked into drinking it, he proved a very serious case of Can't Hold His Liquor. In fact, after Doctor Octopus steals Peter's body in Superior Spider-Man (2013), one of the things that made Mary Jane suspicious of him when he claimed to be Peter was the fact that he was drinking.

In the Walker, Texas Ranger episode "Patriot", Trivette's cousin, Jeffrey "JJ" Jordan, a US Army Lieutenant, falls under this trope. When he is killed in a car accident, first responders think alcohol was a contributing factor, but Trivette notes that his uncle, JJ's father, drank himself to death, and from there, JJ never touched a drop of liquor if his life depended on it, which has him and Walker conclude someone at his military base had to have been responsible for killing him. JJ's Sergeant Major is later proven to be behind it, since he was stealing munitions for his white supremacist group, The Freedom Brigade, and he killed JJ to keep him from talking while he was en route to Ranger Headquarters, and his arrest by Walker and Trivette for such crime sets off the episode's plot.

Dungeons & Dragons:
This trope applies to anyone who takes the Vow of Abstinence Feat, detailed in the Book of Exalted Deeds. By swearing off any and all intoxicating, stimulating, depressant, or hallucinogenic substances (including caffeine), the oath taker becomes very resistant to poisons and drugs (the ones that others attempt to administer against his will, that is).
The Wu Jen class follows a number of taboos to keep being able to cast spells. Among the taboos suggested is the one to never drink alcohol.

God of War Ragnarök: It's subtle at first, but when Kratos first meets Thor, the Norse god of thunder, he brings with him a flask of mead as a welcoming gift, but refuses to have a drop to drink despite being one of the Aesir, who have a culture that glorifies fighting and drinking. Over the course of the story, it's learned that he and his wife Sif have been trying to mend their ways and better themselves from the Abusive Parents they previously were that, in their minds, led to the deaths of their sons Magni and Modi at Kratos' hand, something they don't want to repeat with their daughter Thrud. Unfortunately, the All-Father Odin has no respect for Thor's struggle, constantly putting him down for being anything other than a drunken killing machine for him to sic on the enemy. At one point, under the stress of trying to complete Odin's mission to restore the mysterious Mask, Thor relapses and starts drinking again, to his family's disappointment. After sound advice from Kratos after their second battle, Thor seems to be on the path back to recovery, but it's cut short by Odin killing him due to seeing him as useless.

Full Service: An Implied Trope with Tomoki and all of his Love Interests. The only characters that are possibly depicted with something that might be alcohol is Lenga, Rald, and Remi, and even then it is only once, as seen in the fourth image◊, in the nineteenth image◊, and in the first image, respectively. The Protagonist, Sota, Kovit, Oki, Okan, Hisami, and all of the male fanservice extras are never mentioned or depicted drinking any alcohol. Of course, whether Sota, who is 18 years old, is able to legally drink depends on where Morningwood is located and if the legal drinking age is different, as the youngest people shown possibly drinking are Lenga and Remi, who are both 22 years old, which is above the United States purchasing age which is one of the highest in the world outside a few who ban it entirely or set the legal age at 25.

Rebuild World: Akira has sworn to never take a sip of alcohol after watching it destroy people while growing up in the slums. To him, getting drunk would be nothing but an unnecessary survival risk that would disrupt his connection to Alpha and his augmented suit.

Our Miss Brooks:
In "Cure That Habit", a Sound-to-Screen Adaptation of an earlier radio episode, Miss Brooks observes that it's Mr. Conklin's "proudest boast that he's a teetotaler."
Miss Brooks, more generally, is never seen or heard taking intoxicating beverages. It's most notable in "French Sadie Hawkins Day" where she and (teenager) Walter Denton are the only ones not to have any alcholic breverages at a fancy French restaurant.

House Party (2017): Frank has an absolute zero tolerance of anybody consuming alcohol in his presence. He even says that it's his self-appointed mission to make sure nobody is getting hammered while he's around. It's actually possible to befriend him to the point that you can berate him so badly he'll leave the party never to return... but it's far more satisfying to rally Patrick and your BFF to just kick the shit out of him. How's THAT goin', dude?

Star Trek:
Spock in Star Trek doesn't drink, so when he decides to in one episode, McCoy asks Kirk if they can handle him drunk.
Averted with legendary Star Trek: The Original Series Chief Engineer and Captain Montgomery Scott, when he appears in Star Trek: The Next Generation. After joining the Enterprise-D, he visits Ten Forward and is disgusted by the taste of "synthehol", an alcohol substitute that emulates taste but minimises intoxication and addiction. Data finds Scotty a bottle of Aldebaran Whisky, which hits the spot - and is later revealed to have been given to Guinan by Captain Picard.
Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager is also like this. Justified in that his greatest fear is losing control of his mind, so of course he would avoid anything that might facilitate that.

Final Fantasy XV: An Implied Trope as all of the Chocobros are at least twenty years old, which is the legal age when one can purchase and drink alcohol in Japan, yet the the only drinks that appear are water, coffee, and energy drinks. There is an anniversary artwork with Gladio holding a champagne bottle and four glasses, but whether this could be considered Canon or not is unknown. In addition, while most magic potions are made from energy drinks that Noctis turns into either a Healing Potion or a Mana Potion, the Maiden’s Kiss and Remedy are made of a fancy fruit drink and a expensive beverage respectively, but it is unknown whether these are hard or soft drinks. In fact, the only thing keeping this as Fanon, outside the boys or the game’s creator confirming the fact, is if the Kingdom of Lucis has a higher or lower legal age for purchasing and drinking alcohol from Japan or a lot of other countries.

He drinks only very rarely for special occasions or For Science!; that's what he stated when he wanted to find out the effect of drinking a bottle of absinthe on two people. Murdoch does knock back a whiskey with Branckenreid after releasing Ava Moon and sips whiskey at his bachelor party.

Tarzan: Tarzan doesn't drink the glass of wine Clayton hands him, though it's possible he didn't know what it was. This was done at the request of Edgar Rice Burroughs' estate; they allowed Tarzan to be shown holding a glass of alcohol as long as he didn't drink any of it. There is some Fridge Brilliance here, as to Tarzan the wine probably smelled like spoiled fruit (which is kind of what wine is).

RedLetterMedia: While drinking beer during videos is a hallmark of the production company, Rich Evans does not like mind-altering drugs of any kind, so he is only seen drinking water or Diet Coke in his appearances. No one makes an issue of this, and the fact is sometimes clever obfuscated, such as when he supposedly downs a vodka shot along with Mike and Jay during their Ghostbusters (2016) episode of Half in the Bag, but an edit skips over the part where his shot is poured, suggesting that he just drank water.

Commander Vimes stopped drinking entirely around Men at Arms because he's a recovering alcoholic and doesn't want to get back onto that slippery slope at all. Although his body doesn't make enough natural alcohol, leading to him being in a constant state of knurd. Being knurd means you can't block out all the imperfections and failings of the world around you and constantly see everything at its worst. One time, he listed forcing him to tip away an entire bottle of single malt whiskey to be worse than murder.

A Song of Ice and Fire: Lord Roose Bolton doesn't drink anything stronger than hippocras.note An olden style of wine, sometimes watered down with water or milk and steeped with spices such as sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and/or cloves for several hours. The spices are then filtered out through cloth before it is served, either heated or not. Somewhat similar to mulled wine (except mulled wine does not filter the spices) and a precursor to the modern sangria. Other habits of his, including regularly eating raw prunes and regularly having himself leeched, make him the setting's closest thing to a health nut.
Bolton's entire army stays noticeably sober at the Tully-Frey wedding feast just prior to betraying and massacring the Tully and Stark forces which were also in attendance.

Charlie Chan: Charlie is a teetotaler, but in a bit of double irony he's also an exception to Asians Love Tea; he prefers sarsaparilla (a nonalcoholic root beer-like drink).

Roberto Mendoza, a judge whom Bartlett nominates to the Supreme Court on The West Wing, doesn't even drink socially. Nonetheless, some overzealous police officers arrest him on suspicion of being a Drunk Driver and are willing to testify he was under the influence. As Sam explains to them, they have a problem, in that Mendoza has hepatitis and if he'd drunk enough to register on a breathalyzer he'd die.
Leo, the President's chief of staff, is a recovering alcoholic and pill addict (we see him fall off the wagon in a flashback, and it was quite terrible). He gives a strikingly eloquent speech explaining why he simply can't drink at all, period: "I'm an alcoholic, I don't have one drink. I don't understand people who have one drink. I don't understand people who leave half a glass of wine on the table. I don't understand people who say they've had enough. How can you have enough of feeling like this? How can you not want to feel like this longer?"

Slingers: Richie Gilmore, better known as Prodigy, became a drunk after his team fell apart, and ended up getting his ass handed to him by Iron Man as the first superhero to be arrested under the SHRA. He later got sober and apparently redeemed himself enough to be recruited to lead a team during the events of Fear Itself.

While it wasn't directly referenced in L.A. Confidential, Russell Crowe asked the writer and director whether his character, Bud White, ever drank alcohol. They told him no. Because he does Method Acting, Crowe did the same during the entire shoot. He's Australian, and he was miserable. Though Bud is shown drinking several times in the novel.

Game of Thrones:
The High Sparrow is one of these, though he admits that while religious purity would seem like a good reason for turning down Cersei's offer of wine, the truth is he just doesn't like the taste.
The Unsullied don't drink. In "No One", Tyrion tries to goad Grey Worm into drinking wine, but he puts it down after one sip, remarking that it tastes like "it has turned".
Roose Bolton states that he doesn't partake because alcohol dulls the senses. Jaime notes how suspicious this sounds in the wine-drenched culture of the Seven Kingdoms.

Spider-Man: Peter Parker never touched the stuff; in fact, in one episode, where he was tricked into drinking it, he proved a very serious case of Can't Hold His Liquor. In fact, after Doctor Octopus steals Peter's body in Superior Spider-Man (2013), one of the things that made Mary Jane suspicious of him when he claimed to be Peter was the fact that he was drinking.

Critical Role: The clerics of the Mighty Nein don't drink any alcohol, not for faith-based reasons but just because they don't like the taste. Jester usually chooses to drink milk instead, while Caduceus sticks to tea. Caduceus did try a shot of whiskey shortly after meeting the Nein, but since he'd never had alcohol before then, he ended up spitting it out and going into a coughing fit immediately.

Doctor Who:
The First Doctor, in the serial "The Gunfighters", repeatedly insists that he never touches drink, refusing even to accept a slug of whisky as anaesthetic before having a broken tooth pulled in a time before the invention of anaesthetic. This forms an important plot point, as it is used throughout the serial to contrast his personality with the very heavy-drinking Doc Holiday. He insists this again in "The Smugglers" when offered alcohol in 17th Century Cornwall, although this time he's willing to drink wine offered to him by a pirate captain he's trying to prove his harmlessness to. This is strange since he'd previously been seen enthusiastically drinking (judging by his expressions when drinking it, very strong) mead in "The Time Meddler".
Later incarnations of the Doctor have no such scruples, the Third Doctor's fondness of wine in particular being a major motif of his characterisation, the Fourth Doctor's enjoyment of getting drunk forms a plot point in the Sixth Doctor story "The Twin Dilemma" (although Tom Baker, while definitely not a teetotaller himself, made a point of not being seen to drink by kids during his tenure), and the Ninth Doctor mentioning how Lloyd George used to drink him under the table. In "The Girl in the Fireplace" the Tenth Doctor brags about inventing the banana daiquiri, but the Eleventh was physically incapable of swallowing alcohol, spitting it out whenever he tried. The Twelfth Doctor had a more mature attitude towards alcohol, pouring and offering a villain a drink in "Deep Breath" (indulging himself too), and in "The Caretaker" he shares a glass of wine with his companion, Clara (the first time the Doctor has ever been shown drinking with one).
This gets brought up directly in "Twice Upon a Time". The First Doctor offers a soldier some brandy from the TARDIS cupboard, then gives Twelve a suspicious look and asks if he's been drinking any of it. Twelve exasperatedly notes that yes, he might have had some in the last thousand years or so.

Ed, Edd n Eddy: A heavily Implied Trope, bordering on Canon. In the episode “In Like Ed�, when the other cul-de-sac kids all advanced on the titular characters after ruining Jimmy’s birthday party, Ed being Mr. Imagination stated that they will be chopped up, frozen, and served in drinks just like a movie he saw once to which Edd replies that he hopes the drinks are non-alcoholic. This would suggest that at least Edd is this trope even if the legal drinking age is lower than reality, with the possibility that some of the other kids like Ed, Eddy, Jimmy, Jonny 2x4, Kevin, and Rolf might be this trope as well.

Cabin Pressure: Douglas Richardson is revealed to be teetotal (a recovering alcoholic, eight years sober) at the end of the first series. He hides it to maintain his reputation as a work-hard-play-hard sky god, swapping whisky for apple juice or vodka for water as part of his elaborate schemes. As a Manchild, Arthur Shappey doesn't seem to drink either, although it doesn't appear to be a decision on his part so much as he doesn't see the point (told that, with the flight cancelled, they're allowed to drink wine, he says "Okay. But can I have pineapple juice?"). He apparently had a peach schnapps once, and was "terrifying".

Ace Attorney: Played with. In the games, a pair of passengers on a plane in one of the Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth games are pretty much the only depiction of alcoholism. Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice are never depicted drinking any alcohol in the game, and the former even seems to go out of his way to only drink soft drinks, as when Phoenix got disbarred rather than Drowning His Sorrows, he started drinking actual grape juice in a wine bottle. However, while they are never depicted drinking in-game, a non-affiliated magazine depicts artwork of the characters celebrating by drinking alcohol, but there canonicity is debatable.

Mystic Messenger:
Seven refrains from drinking, save for the very rare sip of champagne for special occasions, due to the fact that his mother was a physically abusive, emotionally volatile, raging alcoholic.
You also have the option to have the player character be this via certain dialogue options. Jumin, who very much likes his wine, will tell you that it would be ungentlemanly to pressure you to drink, and that if you ever want to try it, he'll find something that suits your palette. Zen, whose fridge is always stocked with beer, will react with a touch of disappointment during his route if you tell him you don't drink, but during V's route will tell you that it's totally fine to abstain since there are plenty of other ways to have fun.

Neil Burnside of The Sandbaggers wants to keep his wits about him—shortly after being promoted to section chief, he had to resolve a crisis while extremely drunk, and resolved that he was never going to be in that situation again.

All for the Game: Neil Josten doesn't drink any alcohol, even when some of his teammates mock him for it. Neil wants to stay alert and vigilant at all times, especially as he's on the run from his serial killer father.

John Cena seems to be an embodiment of clean living and good morals in his character. Out of character, John Cena is a pretty hard drinker, but never in front of the kids. WWE had a problem with Ric Flair talking about John Cena's real-life drinking habits during an IGN press conference.

Cyberpunk 2077: The Player Character, V, can be played this way. Whenever the game offers you alcohol, you can either abstain or ask for water or lemonade. Just be prepared that, due to the setting, other characters will likely scoff or laugh if you choose to do so.

In Kodoku no Gurume, Goro Inogashira habitually refuses alcohol, preferring tea. This tends to catch people off-guard, as he is otherwise for all the world the textbook definition of a Japanese white-collar worker, who culturally drink as a matter of course.

Rurouni Kenshin: Hajime Saitou refuses alcohol when offered, claiming that he's stopped drinking since his killing instincts rose when he was drunk and has switched to cigarettes. Possibly a nod to the real Saitou, who was apparently a drinker (who eventually died from a stomach disorder caused by his drinking) as well as a tough shinsengumi captain.

Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager is also like this. Justified in that his greatest fear is losing control of his mind, so of course he would avoid anything that might facilitate that.

Zari and Bherad in Legends of Tomorrow, since they're Muslim. Ironically, Bherad is The Stoner, since his faith doesn't say anything about that. In "Bored on Board Onboard", he's outraged at Zari drinking wine when they're inside a board game, while she insists that she's in-character and it's not like it's real wine.

Kingdom of Loathing: A lifestyle choice in the game. Choosing to be incarnated as a teetotaler will block your ability to drink alcoholic beverages for the entire run in favor of a greater ability to consume food (which you can unlock halfway in the run). There's also the "boozetafarian" path, which is this reversed, meaning that you may not consume food, while alcohol is completely fine, and finally the oxygenarian run, in which you may consume neither, although you can consume things that don't count as food (these are called spleen items and like the prior two, you have a limit of consumption and in this run, a way to consume more spleen items). Needless to say, the oxygenarian run yields greater rewards than either two, but it is not advised unless one has the means to access adventure-producing spleen items (i.e. familiars).

Charmed: In her first episode Paige tells her boyfriend that she doesn't drink anymore due to "problems with certain liquids" in her past. The show never explicitly brings it up again but whenever the characters are seen drinking Paige's glass is filled with water or juice instead.

Buffyverse:
Angel, after a fashion. Word of God states that Angel's abstinence from human blood is a metaphor for this.
Buffy too, as she grew older she shows disdain to alcohol, only resorting to it when three nerds have a good go at destroying her life.

Babylon 5:
Mr. Garibaldi starts off as recovering alcoholic. He slips into drinking for an episode when he's framed in Season 1. In Season 5, his alcoholism became Off the Wagon.
The Minbari as a species abstain from alcohol, but that is mostly because alcohol induces episodes of psychotic rage in Minbari.
The Centauri Regent Virini claims that his only vice is strict sobriety (though his culture actually does consider sobriety a vice). During the fifth season, when Virini is found absolutely shit-faced drunk in the palace, Londo realizes something is seriously wrong because up until then he never knew the Regent to drink alcoholic beverages, much less become drunk.

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Only three people on the ship aren't affected by Swerve's doped engex: Rung, Magnus, and Brainstorm, the guy who doped it in the first place. Naturally, the culprit had something to counter Magnus in hand before pulling off his master plan. The one time Magnus does have actual booze, 1) Whirl gave it to him as a prank, and 2) it leaves him notably useless for a while. It's not clear whether he doesn't drink because he's a lightweight or if he's not used to it because he doesn't drink, and it's anyone's guess whether his true form under the layers of Powered Armour being tiny has any effect on his alcohol tolerance given that he is also a Point One Percenter.

Triple H, as part of a short mini-feud between D-Generation X and CM Punk's "Straight Edge Society" unit, once claimed humorously that he also lived a clean lifestyle but without the need for any of the cult-like theatrics involved in SES. (though Triple H wasn't always an example and even after he was in his personal life his WWE persona still was a drinker until DX reunited and WWE.com put up an article about how much DX had changed)

Cobra Kai: Throughout the show, all of the teenage characters engage in underage drinking, with the notable exception of Robby Keene. He isn't seen drinking at any of the teen parties and in Season 3, he turns down Hawk's offer of a beer. While he claims he doesn't feel the need to drink alcohol to "pretend to be cool", it probably has more to do with both of his parents being alcoholics.
