Naw. I think he'll think you're boring if you are, well, boring. I have plenty of friends who don't really drink and they never seem to dull the party or throw wet blankets all over everybody. See, that's where you becoming the problem, when you are the constant wet blanket.
You know what a wet blanket is right? No? Let me learn you something. The wet blanket is the person who always manages to bring up the health risk in the middle of a conversation about how much everybody loves pizza. Or the person who tells you that if you play too many video games, you might need glasses, etc.
They're the nagging person who always manages to find a way to kill the fun - unsolicitedly mind you.
Plus, all guys don't drink either. If you're a fun person in general, liquored up or not, it won't matter if you don't drink as long as you don't judge everybody else who does and try to make them feel bad about waking up with a hangover and a case of liquor-onset alzheimers.The only thing that really bothers drinkers is judgement which is why non-drinkers get less and less invites to events where liquor might be present., Pretty soon they don't even get invited to church on first Sunday because nobody likes to be judged while taking communion.
It hurts when they boo. So unless you're boring in general, it shouldn't be a problem. Just don't be an arsehole about it to everybody else like you're one-upping people.
"Yeah, I don't drink, but you do what you do. I'm going to be awesome with my Shirley temple. Grenadine, beeyotch!"
It was written.
I wouldn't say that not drinking is a bad thing. Some people have families with a history of alcoholism, and they choose to abstain from liquor. And then there are those who don't believe in polluting their bodies with artificial stimulants. I don't see what is so wrong with not drinking. I drink, but only on very rare occasions, which is different from most people in my age group.
Although I do drink, I have a good friend who's dad is an alcoholic. She gets nervous when we go to bars, so we've learned to not invite her. It sucks that she gets left out, but like Panama said, judgment hurts. As long as you try not to freak out on people just having a good time, no one will probably even notice that you're not drinking.
I have a friend who is a non-drinker, and when she comes to a party she brings a six-pack of beer (for us) and a six-pack of root beer (for her). Awesomeness.
I totally do not get why NOT drinking is such a big deal... I don't drink because I don't like feeling drunk, don't like not being able to get myself home, don't like throwing up, and get sleepy when I drink and don't have fun. My current boyfriend said that when he is letting loose he wants me to let loose too - by drinking. But I don't want to! I don't like it! Why do people care if I drink or not??!!! I say if someone has a problem with you not partaking in something you don't want to do then screw them. It's their problem, not yours.
I don't drink and nobody I've dated cares. Drinking makes me feel bloated, hot, and sleepy; If I wanted to feel like this I'd just get my period on call
A good alternative is a nice coffeehouse. Plus, you can meet some really cool intelligent people there and nobody is plastered or drunkenly pawing at you. You can just chill and drink your latte.
