In tournament play, you can sink your chances pretty quickly accepting a silly instant draw.

Besides, I don't want my draw numbers inflated for such a foolish reason. I hate legitimate draws!

When someone offers me an early draw or asks too many times, I put a mark in my notes and give them a little extra attention.

If you don't want to play a game, resign ... or be prosecuted (Arnold). %-)

many years ago I was a tournament director and 1st move draw offers would have recieved a warning and if the opponent accepted then the game would be nullified with the blessing of ALL serious players in the tournament
