How to have fun without getting plastered?

O--- · 2019-07-20T20:54:45+00:00

Because of the heavy drinking, I don’t have the brain power to do it anymore. This is a big problem. I would like to learn how to go out and have fun without drinking as much as I do. Any tips?

Simple questions deserve simple answers: Drink less.

I would feel disconnected

YOU ARE DISCONNECTED. Being SOCIAL on social media isn’t being connected. Humans are tactile animals. We have senses to see, hear and smell. To touch. To come together and share experiences. A virtual social life is neither social nor much of a life.

As to your issue the answer’s simple; partake in social activities that stimulate as opposed to suppress your mental acuity. e.g. Trivia nights, Rock Climbing, Team Sports. Orienteering is great.

I’m sure there’s maths/science based challenges that are posed to the general public. See if anyone is keen to undertake one with you. If you enjoy problems mathematical in nature find or create a social network that’s shares that common interest. Or any other interest.

Godspeed and good luck!

I've noticed the same. Here's my plan.

Drink less, and less often. If you're strict with gym/diet, make it your cheat day. Eat whatever, drink whatever. But don't get smashed. Drink enough to have a good time. Drink water throughout the night. Maybe a Gatorade or Pedialyte. Don't sleep in because you got drunk last night. That was the cheat day, not today. Wake up and go to the gym fasted while hydrating. Eat breakfast and have a coffee.

Not drinking improved my mental clarity a lot. But you are a man and shouldn't deny yourself basic pleasure. It's about not over indulging, meaning doing it too often. Plus with the above preventative action and after care you'll function a lot better the day after.

Plus, you seem career/goal oriented. Focus on that. Set yourself up for a bright future. You can still fuck chicks without going out. Get some plates that fuck on your schedule.

look into the notropic phenibut. I absolutley live by this shit. Its' basically a gaba blocker the same as alcohol but you don't lose the motor functions that you would. Do your research and look into it. It has calming effect and reduces anxiety tremendously if that's why you think you're such a drinker. Either way you shouldn't have to have any kind of substance to have fun but if you want a safer alternative to alcohol I would give it a shot. Safes me a lot of money when I go out to the bars. liftmode.com You're welcome.

Stop drinking so much. From what I know alcohol doesn't kill your braincells but it does affect their capacity to function properly, hence you become dumber because you cannot focus and think straight.

Personally, I hate being drunk. I used to love it in high school but around 18-19 I realised that it was literally making me dumb + I always felt sluggish the next day. Now I only drink til I reach that euphoric state and stop right there.

As to social media, I still use Facebook or Messenger to chat and I'm also part of some groups that keep me informed about stuff that I'm interesed in. Instagram, I still have it but I unfollowed everyone except a few close friends and influencers that I really like. I used to spend hours and hours just scrolling and watching stories of girls showing their ass and tits, of people going to starbucks to drink coffee, people going to the gym, people posting their lunch etc. A complete waste of time

if you're drinking regularly, give it some time without the drink to full appreciate sober lifestyle. You have to give time for your brain to re-wire.

People like to play off alcohol as harmless but it really will wreak havoc on your entire body. Try and go out sober for the first time, or game women sober for the first time, you will feel like complete shit and suck ass. Probably stumble over words, get anxious as fuck and feel uncomfortable. Even after a few weeks of drinking and doing activities will give you a hard time when sober.

Expect depression, anxiety and all that fun shit. Lol. It sounds like you have a real issue with alcohol if you need advice on "how to drink less", you just fucking do it. This is a symptom of a bigger issue. It's why I wrote what I did above.

Take some kratom and go out. You'll still have a good time, as it eases tension and promotes being social.
