Hey guys I don't drink alcohol for various reasons. I never really was much of a drinker and so when I really questioned it after seeing somebody go deep down the hole of alcoholism I decided that I don't even really like alcohol that much. I reserve it only for a truly special occasion where I am with family such as thanksgiving. Also I go to bars quite often as I am trying to become a standup comedian as such open mics in bars are the norm. I didn't want to make performing drunk my normal.

With all of that said however I should say I'm a huge stoner. I smoke weed every day for almost 9 years now with little to no effect on me because my tolerance is so high. I want to start getting out there for picking up and talking to women. I know that the club, the bar and everywhere in between will have drinking. The world is filled with alcohol! I've had girls offer to buy me a drink and I politely decline saying that I don't drink and then I usually offer a smoke if they want to. Some do some don't. These were usually times when I was already at a bar for comedy but not to get women. Sidenote whenever I don't think I'm going to get laid is usually when I get laid.

Now I want to go to the bar to specifically hunt for women. I don't want to feel out of place by not drinking. I was wondering if anybody here has ever pursued the non-alcoholic option? There is a bar that is close my work and I was thinking of going there a few nights a week. Would it be wise for me to tip the bartender at the start of the night after a soda and lime order? Have you ever had a cheers bar where it's your home bar? Basically I wanna start going out but I don't wanna drink.
