I can't drink, will that be a problem?

You dont need to drink to lift, hold frame, have fun, make money, or to keep improving.

Not drinking is not a problem as long as you dont give off an "alcohol is despicable, I am better than you because I dont drink"-vibe.

Only if you make it into a problem. Then for sure, it will affect you.

If you don't care, the girls don't care either. Btw, myself I do not socially drink at all. If you know who RSD Tyler is, pretty sure I was watching a funny as fuck club pickup video of his the other day, and he says in it that he doesn't actually drink a drop either.

If you absolutely have to have drinks at the bar (which you don't), you can get a soda and pass it off as a mixed drink like a Jack & Coke. Bars do have non-alcoholic options, especially when designated drivers are present or when someone has a little bit too much to drink and needs to lay off the booze for a bit.

I feel like a lot of technique is done at the bar

Get out of the mindset where you feel like you have to go to a place that you think is designed for people to meet other people, this is the single worst mistake. People want to meet fun people everywhere. Don't feel like you are interrupting someone if you see a person you like in public. Talk to them. They want to meet cool new people they think are fun just as bad as you do, everyone is pretty similar. They will thank and love you for coming up to them.

Nah. Actually you can turn it into a good thing. Don't let it look like a weakness and rather make it a life choice you're happy about and it'll look good.

Only warning is don't hit on really drunk girls if you're sober. Will make you look creepy really fast.

Nah, nobody cares. You just need to not be in your head and enjoy the interaction genuinely.

You feel wrong, the bar is just a place where hot women gather, but you can find them everywhere. The bar is actually a shitty place because there is a lot of competition that at least at the surface level is better than you(they are better at a deeper level as well but that doesn't really matter.)

LEts say you are back stage at a victoria's secret ashion show. The backroom is fille with giggling half naked models and now you have a make up girl trying to sttrike up a conversations with you while you are trying to be all fun and funny for the models. You would find her annoying, if you had similar experiences with a rapey make up girl that pegged you, you would find that creepy.

No. Drinking is a common way but there are other alternatives.

I hosted a party where I didn't drink much at all. People will say the whole "oooo get a drink in ya!!!" but if you laugh and say "maybe later" they'll go away/wont care. It's all about being fine with not having a drink and getting involved and not being judgemental.

At a bar, I see plenty of guys hit on people without a drink in hand.

Do not do anything you do not want to do.

Have preferences to create your identity.

If not drinking is part of your identity, so be it.

Anyone who does not like it, can fuck off. -d

Everyones advice here is pretty solid, but ill leave something a little different. If you want to go to parties and cant drink, try MDMA. I prefer it to drinking. Its cheaper and i like the effects more than alcohol. You wont get out of control, you wont do stupid shit or puke on anyone, and if anyone asks why youre not drinking you just say because im on drugs. I dunno what kinda crowd you hang with but usually stupid girls think its bad ass.

The only problems you have are ones that you think are problems. I posted here about hand tremors do to a chronic illness and was told that more or less. Anything that you fear/worry/doubt/fault about is a chink in your armor (frame).
