Why do so many people in here think you have to get drunk every time you drink alcohol? You can stop at one. There are some studies suggesting a glass of wine might have health benefits. You could also just eat a handful of grapes.
I drink almost every night, one or two beers, often leave the second unfinished. Sometimes if I run out of beer I'll go a few days without drinking because I'm too lazy to walk across the street and buy more.
I like the taste of beer, so many styles, so many flavor combos. What am I supposed to drink at night? I drink water all day. I don't like soda, or tea, or milk. What am I supposed to drink with my burger? Soda? Pizza and tea? I don't really like being drunk and hate hangovers. Has no effect on my work.
Why does there have to be alternatives? Don't want to drink? Don't. Worried about being judged? Fuck em. The people in here on their moral high horse that think if you drink you're a drunk driving alcoholic, fuck them too. Or if your friend group are staying out at one place, get a Guinness. It's a dark beer so people assume you're going to be sipping it and it's one of the least alcoholic beers you'll find on tap most places.
Worried about your health? Stay active, get a dog.
