You are definitely not to accept a ride home. I don’t mean maybe, I mean definitely no booze.
No is also used as a refusal of something.
Thank you for the offer, but no; and when I say ‘no’, I mean definitely no!

I'm not correcting the punctuation, here, but 'definitely not.' would be an appropriate response to that question.
What I mean is, "is it wrong to take the bus to go shopping? Definitely not.".
