If I have decided to stop drinking

[GoTerps]

..I know its crazy...but I am out just about every night for various work and social reasons and do not want to drink alchohol every night of the week anymore. Does anyone have any good suggestions for non-alchoholic drinks that won't make me look like a sissy? I started drinking water with lemon but that is pretty boring.

Also, I decided tio stop snorting heroin and was won.....just kidding.

you sound serious

When did not drinking make someone look like a sissy?

I think there will be more people that admire your efforts.

I feel your pain. Being a trust fund playboy socialite has its down sides...

I reach for a tonic and lime...This is what I use for clients... Everyone assumes its vodka and tonic...

if it were my friends, then I'd just have a water or whatever... friends would probably think more highly of your will power to put the cup down...

How about chocolate milk? White milk is for babies, but the chocolate syrup lets everyone know you like to party.

Lemon water is actually the best choice.


good for the digestive system..

several good tasting non alcoholic beers available

the fear of looking like a sissy will go away the day you realize you don't have to take the drink.

the idea of being unacceptable or out of place at social and business gatherings is normal for folks who consume alcohol everywhere they go.

"Social drinkers don't drink everyday"

hummmm..learned that somewhere?:shrug:

oh yea...Rehab and AA :00hour


4,400 days sober counting today..

I'm here to help if the actual reason for the post was as the topic headline lead it to be.

"If I have decided to stop drinking"

and further..

"I started drinking water with lemon but that is pretty boring."

lemon water isn't boring..what is boring is watching the others consume alcohol to excess

Suddenly the jokes aren't real funny.
The chauvinist remarks are out of line.
The braggarts are absurd.


Now if none of this applies and may well be the case..

your solution is easy..

no alcohol for me tonite..

lemon water please..

If you want to go for the early morning meeting hangover look, try rubbing your eyes real hard and walk around with a glass of V-8 :mj06:

At the risk of feeling like the forum woman...if you are trying to get in shape beware of tonic, it's really high in calories.

Seltzer works well.

Who gives a shit what other people think? You sound like a follower rather than a leader...I say fuck everyone else, make your own decisions...

2 years sober in 2 weeks for me...Have had some trying moments, but wouldn't go back to that lifestyle if you paid me. Order a NA beer and have the waiter pour it in a glass before serving if you're afraid of what others think. I was worried about that at first too, but now I don't give a shit. I say it loud and proud, bush na for me please!

GL man.

And deciding to stop drinking is easy if your philosophy is moderation...

I am a binge drinker....I go 4-5 weeks without a drink.

Then I will drink 37 beers with the boys on a Saturday Night and feel like death on Sunday/ Monday and still dry mouthed/tired on Tuesday.


It literally took me 20 years to determine that I can't social drink....never could and never will. Its bombed and no memory....or....cold turkey none.

Why?....it seems like any more than 3-4 beers makes me tired and cotton mouthed the next day. It simply isn't worth it anymore. 3-4 beers usually turns into blackout 18-19 :00hour

However, the unusual nights where I drank only a few beers...I still felt a hangover the next day....so, I said fuck it and quit. Well, I quit for a few weeks and then put on a show....then quit a few weeks and put on another show.

Thanks for the replies...when I said "sissy" I meant a sissy drink like a shirly temple or something with all kinds of fruit in it....I dont worry what people think of my non-drinking..most applaud it.
