i can almost assure you, had I said no in the first place...I would still be questioned and forced to go.

Nobody can force you to go to a work event. I don't mean to be offensive but you need to grow up. Being an adult means making your own decisions even if other people don't like them. If you don't want to go to an event or if you have some other obligation already planned you should be able to say "sorry guys, this isn't my thing / I can't make this one" and stand by your decision.
Frankly, it's nobody's business if you decide not to attend an event. You don't need to give a grand reason for why you're skipping a company outing. This isn't grade school and you don't need excuses.
