Translations:
Literally: I’m not drinking it
Or, as we say in English: I’m not buying it
Used to show disbelief or distrust i.e. something’s fishy and you don’t believe the person/situation.
Example:
Sono tornata alle 10. Te lo giuro!
(I returned at 10, I swear!)
Non me la bevo! Ho visto la tua macchina!
(I’m not buying it! I saw your car!)
