Should I drink alcohol?

Atriev · 2019-11-01T13:07:38+00:00

I drink a glass of wine when I Netflix and chill.

I drink 1-2 beers and maybe a couple of shots in a house party.

I drink no alcohol when I nightgame or daygame.

In general, overdrinking can suppress the bloodflow to your penis too. And if you know game, alcohol just makes you sloppy. I want to be sharp af and 100%, not a drunk “natural” that just uses alcohol to replace my balls and personality. (Sorry if this offends anyone on this sub. I was dogshit with girls before game so I definitely do not have a “natural” style.)

Getting buzzed and no more can be a good balance in my experience. I don't get the big deal on this subreddit about drinking being bad. There are lots of intelligent and great people that drink. Despite what some people say I think you definitely could miss out on potential people/partners if you will never ever drink. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying to be a party animal. Getting drunk/hammered will not really help you get girls or atleast it will not help you improve your skills. It will probably hinder you in the long run as you need to learn to be good when your mind is sharp.

As long as you don't have an addictive personality or family history of alcohol abuse, alcohol can be an enjoyable time. You don't HAVE to drink, but if you only live on this earth once, you may want to see if it's something you may enjoy in moderation.

In what situations (parties, clubs, dinners etc.) do you drink? - how much?

Any scenario where there's alcohol, I may or may not drink. If it's a social gathering, I'll drink. How much? As much as I feel is appropriate. If it's a house party with friends, I'm probably pretty drunk. If it's an outting for work, or a bit of a more "mature" environment, I'll have a couple beers, but not get wasted.

Does drinking help with pickup? - establishing attraction and comfort?

No and yes. It doesn't help with your game, but I'd be lying if I said that being drunk didn't facilitate me being more confident. That said, the girls I would hook up with were generally drinking too, so we were both acting out of character. That's a little risky now-a-days with the way the courts are designed for men to take the blame in a "both drunk" scenario, but if you're smart and can control yourself, it's not that high a risk. Drinking makes you take risks, but it definitely does NOT make you better at pickup.. it just makes you swing more often.

And if you don't drink - how do I not look like a loser being sober at parties (where everyone else is drinking and asking me why I'm not drinking)

I have heard from non-drinking friends that carrying a water cup helps a lot. Most drunk people like to ask "where's your drink?!?" if they don't see you with a cup. Carrying a cup of water makes it look like you're drinking, and less people will bring it up. You don't "need" to defend yourself for not drinking, but honestly, it'll get annoying and you may feel more confident by just having a cup of water. It's natural to feel like you're the outcast if you're at a party and not drinking, but this also comes down to how mature the party and people are. The older I got, the more my friends would accept my decision to not drink or do drugs. If you're young, you'll meet a lot of assholes who insist you need to have some type of drug or alcohol or else you aren't "cool." These are damaged people, and with time, they will suffer worse than you most likely. Remember, you are the only person responsible for your own life, so take other people's advice, but don't let them dictate your life and goals.

That said, alcohol can be fun. In my opinion, and this isn't what most of Reddit will tell you, I would suggest learning how to drink casually. Hell, if you are young, learn how to be a responsible drunk. If you're smart and a kind, good person, then you should be able to navigate the journey relatively safely.

That said, it does not help with game, but you don't want to be the sober person at the party gaming on drunk girls. That's way more dangerous than both being drunk.

I don't drink. The only time I think its an 'issue' is that I can't say 'hey lets go grab a drink'.

That is such a simple, cheap, universally acceptable cheap date option ...so I get to be a little more creative.

As for the awkwardness side of things, fuck em. Own the fact that its not your thing. You don't need a reason or a story not to drink. It's just so culturally ingrained that it's weird when people don't..oh well.

Drinking makes things worse for me .. sometimes ill get som red wine if my date does. Usually before a date i take an extremely small xanax dose to take the edge off .. im talking like .25 - .5 mg... but i try not to do it every time ( even though i do i have a script) .. if i do it every time im gunna need it on every date... so if your new at this get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

No. Do not drink. It's a slippery slope.

Drinking does NOT help with game in fact it can sometimes make it worse. Moderation is second only to ny drinking all.

If you think you look like a loser when not drinking you’ve got some things to sort out.

Socializing and having fun are the key. You do that and no one will care if you’re drinking water or pink freaking lemonade.

NO alcohol.

All good PUAs don’t need alcohol (so-called “liquid courage”) to talk to women.
You can have a drink if you’re out socially with friends, house party etc.

But when you’re going out clubbing SPECIFICALLY to meet women, I definitely remain completely sober.
Personally I start off with Coca Cola, then later I stick to water.

The “liquid courage” crutch is tempting, but it will harm your game in the long run.
Stay sober, mate.
Just HAVE FUN, and face your fear of rejection head-on.
“Feel the fear and do it anyway.”
”Who cares, just go.”
You’ll find that after a while, the fear lessens.

If you wanna avoid the question of "why aren't you drinking", there's a few options.

Tell them you don't drink. If they have a problem with that, then it's probably a personal issue with themselves. Anyone who doesn't drink probably has either a good degree of self control or a strong reason not to do so. Also it's none of their business.
Bring a tea bag or Mio with you. Grab/order a glass of water and steep the tea/mix the Mio. Boom, now you look like you're drinking.
An easier option is to order a water with a lime, now it looks like you're having a vodka soda or gin or whatever clear alcohol is out there.

In general I would say getting a little buzzed isn't a problem, so 1-2 drinks is fine in order to take a bit of the edge off.
