Everyone listen up. The best path in life is as the Buddhists put it; the middle path. Fuck the getting drunk and fuck the "Oh no I'm staying sober." Neither is good. But what's true for sure is that alcohol has been a substance used for centuries, possibly millenia because it improves socializing between people. Let's not reinvent the fucking wheel here, go out and have a few drinks but for God's sake, don't get wasted. If you all think that staying sober is crucial to gaming and concentration, then you are all wrong. I'm not saying to get drunk, but by Jesus no one's going to the shooting range either. Just have fun and blend in. You can be a stand out guy in other ways but there are social norms that I think guys should just participate in so that way you obviously don't get called a pussy for not drinking and all that bullshit. Use your common sense, and do what's right and avoid what's not right. But I mean for some people, common sense isn't so common. There is a Chinese proverb, "The nail that sticks out the most is the one that gets hammered." What are we going to the bar for? To order water? Come on now. I'm not surprised that people think you're not a man for not drinking. It's just something that's not normal in a good way. If you want to be different, you can be abnormal IN good ways such as being the alpha male out of all the guys in that bar.
Showing DHV does not mean that you don't care. You can run around cockslapping girls in the bar without caring and it still won't be a DHV. My point is that there are just things that are EXPECTED of you to do in order to display DHV. It's the way people see you, the way you display yourself. If people see you don't drink, they don't know that you're DHVing by not caring on the inside. They don't give a shit about that. All they see is a grown up man drinking water who came to the bar for child's play. Put yourself in OTHERS' shoes. You can DHV by not caring about the right things instead next time!
