>“Seriously? You won’t even have this small glass to celebrate with us? This is a huge deal for us.”

As someone who works with people of varying cultural backgrounds with different attitudes to alcohol (scientists), pushing it like this on your subordinates is wildly inappropriate. Work is not your fraternity.
