"I feel like an alcoholic drinking like that"

You just have to own it.

"Nah go for it, it's just not for me. Tried it once and wasn't a fan, but I don't mind if you do". Just don't make them feel like you're judging them, make sure they know it's just your personal decision.

Alternatively some bars (in Australia anyway) sell light beers which have about half the alcohol and taste similar, so you can drink 2-3 and not really feel anything, that shuts people up most of the time.

Order tonic, grape soda or soda water. People usually don’t ask what’s in your drink. If they do just be honest that you don’t like making others uncomfortable by your non drinking. Usually works for me, either situation puts most people at ease.

Might want to to arrive 15 minutes early and tell your server make all your drinks mocktails.

First dates are already awkward, if it helps them feel more comfortable it's probably for the best.

Ask if they want to go to an AA meeting with you.

If you are comfortable enough with them you could make a joke how it impairs your performance in bed.
