Alternatives to alcohol on nights out

CB19Kevo · 08-04-2012 04:58PM #1

After a heavy night of drinking midweek and a number of days of recovery:rolleyes:
I wouldent mind giving it a break or even finding an alternative.
I wouldent be a heavy or regular drinker but do tend to go all out now and again.
Have tried differant soft drinks when i have been off the alco before, But am wondering does anyone have any suggestions to keep me bopping away all night.

Replace the drink with some cocaine and the taco chip with a hooker

All the actual alternatives bar not drinking are illegal. Just don't drink as much or even don't drink at all! you can still have a good night without booze.

Drugs.

Would be absolutely perfect if the OP wanted to think of an excuse not to go out with his/her mates and then watch crap films and eventually fall asleep on the couch.

But in terms of what the OP wants? Weed will not give you a buzz in a nightclub, it will make you want to get a kebab and go home.

Indeed, you can't. If you are a sad bastard.

Booze is awesome, a ****ing fantastic friend who will let you experiment with other forms of entertainment. Like the liquid equivalent of a **** buddy.

If you find it constantly calling you, endlessly wondering what you are up to and wanting to always be there at your nights out...that right there is a bitch.

Well you can get alcohol free cocktails if that took your fancy? Never tried them myself though :pac:

You should talk to kids in schools about the dangers of drugs.

That just made weed sound so ****.

coffee in its many forms and mocktails (non-alcoholic cocktails)

I followed similar to the above for a while, just make sure you specify Tap water or they'll try to pass you on a bottle of their bottled mineral water and charge you about €3.50 for it.

TBH It kind of depends where you are drinking, I mean if you're just in a local pub then Tea/Coffee is a good alternative and it'll help keep you awake chatting through the night, though that option likely is not available in say a club in town. Milk is good too, though if you're female and walking into a bar packed full of lads, well ordering a glass of milk brings on the old dirty joke :eek:

Yes, if the OP was a child dragged to the beer garden on a sunday by her parents. Then a bottle of fizzy pop is the business

You want something to keep you bopping? Do you run out of steam if you don't drink?

You might want to try some exercise to increase your energy levels.

Water, coffee, cordial, fizzy drinks and non alcoholic beer are all choices. I'm not sure any of the will keep you 'bopping' though.

Redbull

Steal a car, 2 litre plus engine. A night of joyriding.

If I drink a fizzy pop I get uncontrollable giggles.
I might crack open a fizzy pop tonight actually

Bring out a couple of Berocca and a bottle of water and take them half way through the night?.. also there are things like ginseng and guarana which you can buy in health food shops that will give you energy..
