Best Non-Alcoholic Drinks for Social Settings

Opt for non-alcoholic beverages like sparkling water, mocktails, or herbal teas that are easy to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. These drinks are flavorful and satisfying, making them suitable for social outings without involving alcohol. Choose drinks that you feel comfortable with to stay true to your preference and avoid any discomfort.

I'm going out with a co-worker of mine and a my supervisor this evening. We are going to eat at some resturant and we are going to comedy club.

Now here's the problem, my coworker (who is a virgo) wants me to stay out and have a drinks with him at the bar after the club. Am I alittle afraid ... um, yeah -- only because he said I can leave my car at work and I can ride with him

Since he's staying out late, I don't know i I'm confortable with that.

Reasons:

1. He will be drinking and he wants to drive too
2. He has a girlfriend and he gets a bit friendly when drunk
3. I really don't want to drink -- I don't drink at all actaully at the moment ...

So if I decide to stay out, what do I drink ๐Ÿ˜› What a mind kind of drink that only nondrinkers can hold down without throwing up?

Well he's a virgo and I'm a cappy -- we all know how that works ๐Ÿ˜‰ ... so if he gets friendly ... she I beat him with my shoeโ€”โ€”

A glass of wine would be good to drink--it's not too strong.

What kind of wine ๐Ÿ˜›

Bring your own car and limit your drinking.

But Prime, I don't drink so how do I know when enough is enough โ€” I want to bring my own car but I'm afraid I'll get lost. However, you are right, if that idoits going to be drinking then its best that I do that.

long island iced tea is goooood, so are bahama mamas and mudslides, hehehe. if you're going to drink, you should consider malt beverages as they have a lower alcohol content, and i agree with aguaaqi if wine is your thing.

Long Island Ice Tea or Sky Vodka are my favorites. Drink that. I also must mention that I am also a non-drinker.

Yea!!!!! B is the winner! Yep, sounds good to me ๐Ÿ™‚

"I have some fermenting tripples in storage, they started out at 11 and 12% , they should be up to 15% by now. Those will give a nice buzz."

i just got a big ole bottle of bailey's irish cream for my bday. i can drink it straight. i think that's actually not a good thing. they gave it to me in a brown paper bag...maybe that's supposed to be some kind of sign for me.

wow, now vodka, there's something i could never drink straight. i can do ok with rum, but vodka leaves a sensation that i just drank rubbing alcohol in the back of my throat. it makes my eyes water if i drink a shot of it too slow. i learned a trick though, which is to close off your nasal cavity when drinking something absolutely disgusting and that makes it a lot easier.

the difference is that i used to make an ass out of myself, and now i can handle it better, but i still feel the same. i'm usually buzzed after one drink.

oh, a beer bong. derr. actually i have never done that. i've chugged it through a funnel though, and at my party there was a nice contraption that had a funnel with two tubes coming out the bottom, and each tube had a spigot so you could compete against someone to see who could chug faster, and turn it off if you couldn't handle it. ๐Ÿ˜›

those first 2 games would definitely make me choke. no question. they seem like the kind of thing you have to practice at...maybe that's the point.

i've never played quarters. i think you explained it to me once, but i forget how it's played. strip quarters, hmmm!

the drinking games i've played are limited to fotch, kings, flip cup (hard!), beer pong, and asshole, but asshole was so long ago i don't even remember how. that's it. the people i usually party with don't require much aid getting there. ๐Ÿ˜›

i've been to places that take pong VERY seriously too and you have to know their rules before you even consider joining a tournament. i went to this place and they had a huge poster on the wall with their beer pong rules, and one of them involved making a naked lap around the house for the losing team, they weren't kidding. i was like, ok, if i was a pong pro i would definitely do it but as i have a fairly good chance of losing...๐Ÿ˜›

apparently that rule isn't all that uncommon either.

a couple of drinks won't do any harm. just drink slowly and stop as soon as you start feeling the slightest bit fuzzy. n unless ur prepared to spend the night at his place, I suggest u both go in different cars.
