How Do you Feel when someone offers a Draw while you are Winning?

I interpret a draw offer as an indicator that my opponent is lacking confidence and will be encouraged by it.

By the time I’ve poured another Jack and Coke (diet to avoid all that ghastly sugar but accepting that chemical sweeteners can be just as bad) the draw offer has timed out.

A) I don’t have to reject their offer

B) I’ve another glass of J&C to enjoy.

If casual, I'll accept it with a honor

I once burst out laughing when a HS kid offered a draw in a completely losing position. Thought it was a joke. Nope! It was COACHES INSTRUCTIONS?? I think the kid learned a lesson that day. What a dou**e coach.

If I had any respect for the opponent, it would be gone.

Depends on the ELO, sometimes people offers draw when they don't even know they're actually losing xD

It has happened to me a few times. But in those cases I always think: "My opponent knows it's over. Now, I just have to be precise and not stop pressing."

I often offer draw if the opponent has fewer points than me and I have the impression he/she at least trys his best. But I am not such a good chess player and in very seldom cases it happened that I really had not noticed the opponent in fact had had a winning position.
But your suggestion would have helped me to see it - and a winning position still does not mean the other one will win, especially under time pressure. So your warning maybe would help me - that would not be fair, I think.

What is Honorable about a shared lose?

You ought to practice as you intend to perform.
