Hey Guys,

Hope all is well. I've been really sick the entire weekend and monday, so bad that I have not even left my bed. So it really sucks that I missed out on a whole weekend of going out. ah well.

Anyway, What I want to talk about today is drinking, and why you don't need the good old "liquid confidence" to pick up girls and have fun doing crazy ass shit. What it comes down to is giving yourself permission. Let me elaborate here...When you go out and drink, you are the "drinking guy", people that are drinking are expected to have more balls, to do crazier things and to have more confidence, you know this, we all know this. But one thing a lot of us don't know is that its not just the chemical effects the alcohol has on us that gives us the confidence, its the fact that we give ourselves permission to do so, because we are "drinking". Most of the time I see my friends who are usually scared to approach girls when sober, or should I say "not drinking", as soon as they have a drink in their hand, they all of the sudden can go and approach girls, act more stupid and do funnier things..and they are not even drunk yet! Its because they are giving themselves permission!

If you are the type of guy that needs to drink before approaching girls then try this, go out and only drink a little bit, enough for you to "give yourself permission" and each week, drink less and less, until you only need one or two drinks to be able to let yourself loose. Then eventually, you wont need to drink at all, when you see for yourself that you can have just as much fun and just as much confidence without a sip of alcohol.

Now I'm going to contradict myself a little here, I LOVE alcohol and some of my craziest experiences have been while i was completely smashed! Alcohol puts you in the moment! meaning that you are not thinking about the past (previous times you got rejected from girls) or the future (whether she will reject you or not) so you approach her and you are not really thinking about anything at all, and it works great. But what I'm getting at is that you don't NEED alcohol to give yourself the permission to let loose and have fun. It does sound a little crazy if you have not experienced it, but wow its mind-blowing when you do.
