This subject really hits home for me since i should make it my new years resolution. This is for 2 reasons.

Reason 1 Health: For the past 3 years i've drank heavily every weekend. I NEVER drink alone but i always drink a lot when i go to parties and stuff. And i have continued to build more and more friends because of this which means more and more parties which means more and more drinking. And for the past couple months my heart or something is bothering me. I can't tell what it is, the first time it occured was when i bought a triple strength rockstar drinkin and poured half a bottle of jager in it and was pounding it all night on a party bus. Ever since then i'll randomly get anxiety attacks the next day after drinking that im going to randomly fall on my knees crawl 10 feet and die. But i continue to drink since it's so fun and doing nothing on the weekends when im single i would rather die to be honest lol. Also drinking prevents me from eating and going to the gym the next day. I'm pretty buff but i would be in much better shape if i stopped getting plastered.

Reason 2: Drinking makes me way more outgoing i do crazy stuff and make people laugh. But once i'm blacked out it kills my chances with woman. I would say getting blacked out got me laid 4 or 5 times for being funny. But it also ruined atleast 20 chances to get laid. And the main reason i drink is to get laid. So no matter how much i think it helps me it really doesn't and i need to stop.

Its fine to have a drink or two, but when you go back to get another, just ask for a coke instead of jack and coke or...idk...anything really.

no need to tell them you aren't drinking.

i used to always drink when sarging then i decided to stop smoking cigaretes and to help me do it i stoped drinking when i was out to cut my cravings down .

2 things happened . the first i noticed my game became tight as fek and it was a massive dhv to be gaming a girl well and for her to realise i was sober

and secondly i feel better about myself and fitter in mind in body

i tell people the reason im not drinking is because ive stoped smoking and im trying to control my cravings and no one thinks its strange

Light beer or just have a glass of water in between alcoholic beverages. Seriously though, drink whatever the hell you want who gives a shit what people think!

Exactly, who gives a fuck? I don't drink at all. I also don't eat meat. Boohoo.

This posting is about what to say when somebody ask you, “How come you’re not drinking?” Not whether you should drink or not.

If you have AA [/b](approach anxiety), one of the best way to get rid of it is doing this with a wing or just a friend. Go to an SPAM, withdraw $100five 20 dollar bills, and give it to your friend. Go to a mall. Every time you opened a set or approach someone, you get one 20 dollar bill back. I forgot who I got this from but I like the idea a lot & I wanted to share it with you all.

I am a recovering alcoholic. Therefore, I do not drink when sarging. Half the problem with my approach while an active drinker was that alcohol was dulling my awareness of social dynamics and my ability to respond appropriately. A substance whose primary effect is to impair rational judgement is antithetical to my game. That's just me. You all do what you want. To those who can have a few beers and call it a day: I tip my hat to you. Not all of us have this ability.

PS A tonic water and lime looks identical to a gin and tonic. Most will assume this is what I am drinking. Who am I to volunteer unneccessary info to them? If they ask, I tell them. Simple and effective. I am also finding it is not very hard to use your non-drinking status as a way of demonstrating higher value. Doesn't work with party girls (obviously), but the introspective meaning-of-life-searcher types eat it up.
