Just don't drink alcohol? If anybody judges you negatively for not drinking they're a fucking loser.

I have a lot of respect for people that I meet on a night out and are completely sober.

Buy cola and say its (captain Morgan n coke). Buy lemonade, claim its (gin and tonic).

Cunts want to share your drink or see if its alcohol. "I think I might coming up with tonsillitis"

Me personally, I've always found this hard. There is definitely social pressure to drink, at least in some circles.

I'm better at handling it now. Confidence is a big thing. Drink your water and own it. Don't drink coke. How much coke can you drink? Be confident in your lifestyle and own it, just like a vegan would.

Some nights I do drink. I drink bottled lager, no longer do I drink pints (which every fucker does in Britain). By drinking bottles, at a slow pace, you are effectively drinking half what everyone else does.

Just don't drink.

You are not important. They don't give a fuck if you drink or not. It makes no difference to any one else's life. You are the only one who cares.

You just order coke zero in a tall glass or you could order sparkling water with squeezed lemon juice in one of those glasses that are used for wiskey (popular option for gym goers in my country)

Cranberry juice.

Have a lime soda, it looks like Vodka Tonic/Gin Tonic.

I also drink de-alcoholized beer if its available.

I was a fairly hard drinker, 10+ drinks each night of the weekend and a bit less some week nights. Completely stopped drinking and took me 2-3 months to get completely used to not drinking in general and being confident about it when I went out. So basically you will get there with time (this also means you should be stacking on more muscle which helps for the confidence part).

If you're looking for things to replace it with, look into Phenibut.

Do whatever you want. Get a ginger ale and say it’s jack and ginger or say you don’t. Doesn’t matter. I booze, used to just go hard but I’ve slowly learned to control myself. Usually limit to 4 or 5 drinks but I’ve definitely pulled in blackout autopilot, so whatever works for you.

Buy coke and say its vodka coke. When everyone goes to the bar go to the toilet, then get your drink (say you want a small glass)

You'll only have to do this once as later on people get drunk and will no longer track what your doing.

Do you not drink at all? And if not why?
