''You don't need alcohol to have a good time''

What a load of bollox. Why do people go to bars/clubs every weekend then?

Personally, alcohol makes me dance better

Thoughts?

Because if I don't drink, I can't stand you *****.

shopaholic01

I enjoy a few drinks, don't see the point in going to a pub to drink water.

PizzamanIRL

But you do need to take a picture of your alcohol and post it online to let everyone know you're drinking.

gugleguy

Besides if you don't drink you won't make that selfie movie with your smartphone where you mouth off about your other blingy tinsel friends. You'd be too inhibited about looking the divk.

I once tried to sell tickets for a fundraiser with no drink allowed but could sell none. Many people equate a good time out with drink.

Other countries do not have as intense a relationship with drink as we do.

I am never sober so i dont know.

If you 'need' alcohol then you are an alcoholic. Simples.

You don't need it to have a good time but it's definitely needed to have a great time.

I'd love a few pints now.

I don't need alcohol to have a good time, but it certainly helps.

Looks a bit like a Junior Cert English question... "You don't need alcohol to have a good time." Discuss

I've never really enjoyed drinking. I don't like pubs or clubs very much either, so I don't feel that I need alcohol to have a good time.

It could make a great essay title, limit it to 1000 words though.

We don't have to take our clothes off, yo have a good time, whoaa no!

Went out once and drank Kaliber all night when everyone else was getting pissed.
Dullest night of my life.
Never again.
Never.

Drink helps me hate other people less; but it makes me hate myself more.

I find an auld smoke of Heroin to strike a happy medium.

I cannot enjoy myself without it.

Cupcake_Crisis

Personally I wouldn't go out of my way to surround myself with drunk people while sober because drunk people are idiots when you're not one of them. But you don't need to be on a pub to have a good night.

lukesmom

I don't drink at all but I still have a good time. I'm the first one on the dancefloor.

thecatspjs

Depends what you're doing doesn't it. It can loosen people up a bit and get them yappin'. If you're one of the marvellous people whose social skill set is higher than that of the average person then by all means go out and enjoy yourself sans booze, but don't kill anyone else's buzz while you're at it.

soundman45

Of course you need a swally ask rab c Nesbit if you need advice

Mena

If you're needing the booze to be enjoying yourself, I'd say you need to start looking for a support group.

Despite what you've grown up to believe, it ain't normal.

Mariasofia

Slightly off thread but cant help singing
"we Dont have to take our clothes off to have a good time...."
Ok.......carry on :-D

NegativeCreep

I don't mind people who don't drink but the majority of my friends who don't drink are drier than a nuns fanny. If I'm drunk, the last people I want to be around are sober people. They're usually the ones with the camera taking photos every ten seconds and they always remind you of the stupid stuff you did the night before. They sit with a face on them all night because everyone is talking about crap and having a good time because they're drunk and they can't join in because they're not on everyone else's level.

I don't care how much craic you think you are, if you go out with a group who are all drinking, they're going to think you're the anticraic.

I don't think you need alcohol to have a good time but then again, I don't think you need to be in a nightclub to have a good time either. I hate nightclubs, they can all f*ck off and die.

I do enjoy going to the pub for some food and a chat but I won't always have a drink and if I do it's usually something tame like a baileys or a hot cider. I can count on one hand how many times I drank last year. I think a lot of people get caught up in the idea that to have a good time you need to be plastered and going out the whole time. It's not really for me. :-/ Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I'm beginning to think that boozing is overrated tbh.

Saggyjocks

I've gone out plenty of times and not drank, can't say I've enjoyed myself as much as if I was drinking, I'd be aware of the non drinkers in the group they're the ones that'll remember it all, careful not to engage in too much conversation with them or do something like the dreaded walking to the toilet or bar dance, and I've never danced sober in a nightclub

How do you get to the toilet? Run? Hop?

Calm down and have a drink.

I've actually had more fun nights sober then drunk. It's not needed by any stretch but can be nice

I drink to make other people more interesting.

Here you are Fr Matthew. Richard Harris started this one:

“I formed a new group called (AU) Alcoholics Unanimous. If you don't feel like a drink, you ring another member and he comes over to persuade you.”

Most depressing thread ever. Nothing worse than someone who sits down at the table with a 'baileys' or a 'hot whiskey', may aswell drink water. Most depressing sight ever

Renegade Mechanic

Sure, alcohol isnt the answer but you forget the question after enough which is just as good!

Yeah you don't need alcohol to have fun

You can have a good time with or without it.

''You don't need alcohol to have a good time''

You do if you're out with a bunch of people who're on the piss.

Lando Griffin

Iv been known to break dance after a few eventhough I never broke danced in my life; it even caused a few injuries in my time but its just something the lads expect me to do after a few jars.
I also can sing all three lines of the Fields of Athenry when drunk; again I havent a clue as to only one line.
So go figure non belivers.
Edit: just heading out the door now for a quiet one see ye tomorrow or the next day.

I've been having fun all day without alcohol. Just copious amounts of sex.

None of my friends drink and I don't either and we always have a fun night out! We were only out last night and were the first ones on the dance floor enjoying ourselves. Obviously I can't compare a sober night to a night drinking because I haven't experienced it but we have never not enjoyed a night out just because we didn't drink alcohol.
