Agree, just be you! But I totally understand the desire to avoid having to explain yourself over and over and just blend in with everyone else. To answer your question about nonalcoholic drinks- a tonic water with lime, or pretty much any kind of soda with a lime or lemon wedge on it looks like a mixed drink.
That's why I just stick to good ole meth. I'm the coolest cat in the office.
Just be you! I've never been a drinker and opt to not drink at work functions. You don't have to explain, just order what you want. People don't care.
I did that to be healthy once and then I just started drinking alcohol again
I had a coworker that didn't drink and we thought he was drunk all the time at happy hour.
What's the big deal. I don't drink and I go to bars with others frequently. I get a sissy and sit there. It's in your head
Tell him you don't trust anyone with a small dick. :)
Also - hitler didn't drink and well he didn't turn out well... pick a vice and stick with it.
Order a coke. Fake it til you make it
Thanks for the suggestions guys! One time I had a manager who said he didn't trust people who don't drink because they all have something to hide lol. And yeah I really don't like having to explain why I don't drink and would really like to just blend in, and I get really weird stares if I get just a water or something so thanks for the ideas!
Why be sneaky? It's nothing to hide. Personal choice that you just need to own.
Some places will serve non-alcoholic beverages in different (larger) cups. If you're at a table with a server you'd be totally obvious. Go up to the bar and order yours separately if you really want to disguise your lack of alcohol intake. If there's a tab on the company order shots and non-alcoholic beverages and a water. People will assume your drink is the chaser. Then just discreetly hide the shot in your empty water cup when no one is looking. (I used to be an alcoholic and easily fold under peer pressure, so I like to fake it. I still have a great time!)
Order a virgin margarita or virgin any drink. Spend the whole time with it
Why hide it? Show everyone how strong you are to get through such long hours and horrible jobs without having to drink... That's what you call willpower. #noshameinmygame
Nothing wrong with that! I have a good handful of team members that don't drink. I just wish they would hang out more because honestly it doesn't bother me and doesn't mean you shouldn't stay at happy hour
Until you never grow a belly....
I don't drink as much as my coworkers so I order a lemonade (looks like a vodka lemonade) or a coke with lime (looks like a jack and coke). Don't let them make you feel awkward. It's your personal choice and you're doing what makes you happy
Club Soda can be G&T or vokda soda... but take some initiative to plan events not solely about drinking, like bowling, driving ranges, dinner, etc.
I don't drink pops usually so some nights when I go out and I don't want to drink, I always get a water with a lime. People will think you're drinking but you're just drinking water.
Tell them you're pregnant so you don't have to drink. No one will question you.
