Non-drinker

[Dictatorsaurus]

I don't drink any alcholol and always get invited to parties and to the clubs.

I always manage to have a good time but was wondering whats the best way to cope with such situations?

 

[jago25_98]

good god I feel so the same. Everytime I get drunk I get depressed and that screws my night

 

[Devil_In_Disguise]

I can't see the problem. If anyone pushes you to drink alcohol you just tell them you're driving home.

Some of the best nights out I've had were nights when I didn't bother drinking.

I'm the same way, I don't drink at all. Usually I just tell people I'm the DD, and that usually clears up that subject.

By far the more difficult thing is getting over the girls who "Don't trust guys who don't drink."

Coke on the rocks with a lemon in it. Nobody can tell whether you're drinking alcohol or not.

If the subject comes up why you aren't drinking....just like the fellas said..you can just tell them you're the DD and that's that.

A buddy of mine doesn't drink because alcoholism ruined his family. We respect him on that one too.

Don't worry about what people say...its your choice and an admirable one. Just don't try to put your value system on other people.

No No: "I don't drink because I think its stupid. And people who drink look like idiots when they're drunk. And I'm not an idiot."

Trust me, you'll look like a loser and a jerk if you come off like that.

If the ladies ask you why you aren't drinkin for the night..tell them that alcohol can mess with a man's stamina and erection in bed...tell her you'd gladly provide her proof on this theory.

I don't drink either, but you can still let yourself go and have fun because you don't have to worry about your drunken friends judging you. Also, you don't have to worry so much about getting beaten up because being sober, you can probably kick most drunk guy's asses. And, when everyone else is wasted, looking like sh1t, puking up, you're still standing tall and looking good.

i dont drink, people say they drink because it alows them to be more social, infact from being tipsy i know the only way it does this is by getting rid of your inscurities, if you are super confident you do not need to get drunk.

I dont drink because i think its stupid, but like mentioned, if you say this it wont come off to well, at least know i have another reason to, because it will have adverse effects on my training (for cycling)

Alcohol is poison. By drinking alcohol, you are poisoning your body. I choose not to drink for health reasons. If you don't like it, you can kiss my fukin a$$.

 

[Devil_In_Disguise]

If you're confident about it nobody will even question it. I was out on St. Patrick's day, had a pint, and didn't really feel like drinking any more, so I just ordered water and the girl I was chatting with didn't bat an eyelid... they were too busy fluttering at me.

 

[thefonz]

if i say i'm not drinking cus i'm the DD, it usually leads to massive amounts of heckling from other people who are drinking...thats just a lame excuse......tell them you're not drinking cus you have a history of alcholism in the family or you have a friend who died drunk driving....no one can **** with those excuses unless there looking for a fight...i'm pretty depressed these days so i don't like to drink and make myself anymore quiet and introverted than i already am, drinking hasn't made me feel good in years so why bother.

Some people just look for reasons to put down others or maybe they feel a sober guy would take advantage of them while they are drunk.

 

[myfriendblu]

Dam its nice to see im not the only non drinker here amongst the DJ's.....I dont drink much for a variety of reasons. Im a much much much better DJ with a clear sharp mind than a drunken one. I just feel better sober. Not to mention its alot easier gettin up in the morning. And healthier. And easier to maintain a good body when your sober. Not to mention you can also go out on several consecutive nights when your not boozin heavily.

Some girls don't trust you if you don't drink. They think you're waiting for them to get drunk, while you remain perfectly sober and in control of the situation. Also, a lot of girls think you are judging them for drinking.

Personally, I don't drink much. I don't judge people who drink, it's just not my thing. It always struck me as an expensive, pointless hobby.

You don't have to explain yourself if you don't drink. You just don't. If people ask you, tell them the truth - you don't like to drink.

Don't go makin up **** like you're the DD or whatnot. Be real about it. It's really nothing to concern yourself about.

I think you have to look for the underlying 'distrust' of non-drinkers, even at an unconscious level.

I hit a great deal of resistance when I suddenly stopped drinking ( or rather more than 2 pints).

You're not one of the lads anymore, too good to drink with us ehh?

With women it can be worse. A common false belief installed in people is 'Never trust someone who doesn't drink' Why?

When people drink they lose inhibitions, in some ways it's a good test of what your lower brain in capable of once the lid comes off.

Maybe you're a scheming, controlling psycho and you know if you drink people will find out, or you're one of those weepy types, how embarrassing.

I just say that I made a decision that I was going to drink in moderation so I could enjoy the night, remember what happened and be able to function the next day.

If that ain't good enough for someone then fine, that's their problem.

As was previously said, there are a good number of women who simply don't feel comfortable at bars with guys who don't drink, perhaps feeling that there is security in knowing the guy your flirting with isn't at his full mental capacity or is unlikely to remember if she does anything slutty or stupid.

I personally don't drink because alcoholism runs wild on both sides of my family. I've also lost a potential relationship over this, where the girl I'd seen a few times told me that by not drinking I made her feel self concious, and she couldn't have fun around me that way.

Some people, I guess...

I know lots of guys who go out and don't drink. They still have lots of fun macking on girls and what not.

Really. Don't worry about it. Just pick places that have entertianment for non-drinkers, like wet t-shirt contests

 

[Mjfan12]

It's against my religion to drink, so I dont.
