How to say “I don't drink alcohol” in Khmer

ខ្ញុំមិនផឹកស្រាទេ

khnhom min phɨk sraa te

Pronunciation (IPA): /kʰɲom mɨn pʰɨk sraː teː/

Word by word: I + not + drink + alcohol + (negation)

💡 A polite, clear refusal. Cambodians respect non-drinkers and won't pressure heavily. Ask for ទឹកក្រូច (orange juice) or ទឹកសូដា (soda water) instead — both are common at bars.
