Good reasons to give up alcohol

[The Duke]

The older you get, the harder it is to keep drinking at a level you did in your younger years. For me now, if I have more than a couple of drinks, the next day I feel like garbage.

You younger guys might not realize it now, but heavy drinking in your youth is really damaging your body that manifest when you are older.

You are better off without alcohol, but if you drink, keep it down to a couple a day.

I've got a few friends that started drinking heavily in their late 20's. Now in their mid 40's they show a lot more age than those who drank only on a casual basis.

I went out to a bar last night and had two Heineken 0.0% non-alcoholic drinks.

It tasted exactly like a beer, I felt social since I had a cold brew in my hand and I didn't feel nervous "driving buzzed" nor have that "Oh s**t feeling when you see a cop on the road.

Haven’t been out a while. Do most bars have at least one type of non-alcoholic beer available?

I would think so and I would think most of them have to have some type of non-alcoholic beverage. The bar last night had O'Doul's and Heineken 0.0%. My friend said Sam Adams Non-Alcoholic IPA is really good

Athletic brewing beers are quite good non-alcoholic beers in my opinion

I am a one drink maximum type of guy. And even then, I only like to get a drink when out to eat. I've been known to go months without alcohol.

I agree it's foolish how a lot of men and broads think you can only have fun if alcohol is consumed.

Good point about saving money. One time when I was out with some acquaintances, my bill was the lowest of everyone. Because I only got one drink.

Another thing: Mixing alcohol with sex is risky legally. That's why I refuse to take the advice that's been offered to me (on here, on another forum, and by a coworker) to keep a supply of alcohol at home, as a broad will be more likely to come over if I lure her into my cave with the promise of alcohol.

In addition to the grey area legally, it's also questionable ethically to lure a woman over with alcohol.

I've stooped pretty low to get laid. Yet even I draw the line at using alcohol to get easier sex.

Yep, I have a friend who is 47 and is like this, can't have fun unless it involves drinking. Dude, you are not in your 20's anymore.

Yes. I am also seeing a lot of "mocktails" being offered. A non alcoholic c0cktail. Don't know if it's here to stay or a trend.

Ironically, I also know a 47 year old like that.

In fact, he's part of the story I shared where my bill was the lowest of anyone (He was 44 at the time; still too old to act like he's 22)

When I was a kid, this summer resort my family went to would make virgin drinks for me. We're talking 25 years ago. I suppose there's no reason bars couldn't do the same for adults who want non-alcoholic.

You're basically this guy?
