Forced, as in held down with a tube down your throat, or forced as in "This is 
a requirement to what I'm trying to teach you, if you refuse to follow the 
curricula, I'll have to fail you."?

A student that made a scene because they didn't like the taste of tequila or 
started protesting about their "rights" to not drink - would deserve to fail 
that class.
I wasn't a great fan of certain wines at one time, but if I'd refused point 
blank to put a bit in my mouth during training I would have failed a 
requirement of my training at the time, and would have not got the job.

...More for being an ass that nobody would want to work with than for anything 
to do with the pros and cons of the drink itself.

I can just imagine someone like this also :
refusing to hose hose down the toilets when they needed it, 
refusing to clean under the fridges because it was gungy,
refusing to clean ashtrays because they didn't smoke, 
and refusing to load beers because the chiller was too cold. 

I've met 'em all, some of whom, like you, would threaten to call the 
employment board because they were asked to do something that "wasn't in their 
contract" - like pick up broken glass.

Just not worth the bother.

Please tell me you did that on purpose...
