Not drinking at parties

Bounced for a whole year at a busy downtown bar. Try simply enjoying yourself, I wasn't allowed to drink so I was forced to interact and exchange pleasantries with a misc. crowd of drunks. It's helped with every kind of social situation, and I've enjoyed myself at events where everyone was drinking but me.

It's so much easier! Drunk people open the conversation, I ask questions, they talk (and talk and talk and talk). It's also nice to have the clarity of a sober mind, not the disorientation of being three sheets.

Don't trip, they're drunk and will only remember how much fun they had, not their square friend who wouldn't drink.

When I go out I don't drink either. I like it. But it's disheartening considering you can view when other people transform.

Change your mindset as well. What are all these party people accomplishing? Are they enhancing their life or trying to escape it. I’d guess the latter. Like I tell my kid any time she comes across someone acting the fool: someday you’ll be in charge over them.

By not drinking you mean not getting drunk? or not drinking as in not a single drop because your religion forbids it?

In case 1, a beer won't kill you, in case 2 I don't think it's a problem, you can always drink a soft and no one will care.

Drink a Budlight very slowly througout the night. People cant tell if its empty or full. Also you can say that you are on a diet.
