I don't drink alcohol and don't plan to for personal reasons but all my friends do. It seems that drinking and clubbing is the world to my friends. If I ask a friend if he wants to go out (him knowing I don't drink or like clubbing scenes), he'll ask; "What do you want to do today/tonight?" And so we'll be scratching our heads clueless. The only thing we think of is going to the movies, which is great but I really need to be more creative! What day or night activities can one do without alcohol? I need some ideas. Anyone know how to enjoy their spare time without alcohol?
Lots of activities you can do without alcohol! Try going to the movies, bowling, themed parks or the circus. If you guys want something more adventurous try paint ball,rock climbing, swimming, etc.
I'll add: movie nights, game nights, many cities have monthly art walks. Challenging each other at the gym. There are so many things to do, really limited only by your imagination. And... Kudos for realizing there is more to life and interaction than getting drunk.
Its also possible to go to a club and dance without alcohol. Get a glass of sparkling water with ice and dance away!
While there are plenty of things you can do where most people will not be drinking, this would be my suggestion as well--I used to go out all the time to bars and clubs and get Coke. I didn't have my first alcoholic beverage until well into my twenties. No one ever commented--I'm pretty sure most people never knew.
I agree with these guys. I don't drink either, but if the company is good enough I still have a good time. There are lots of non-alcoholic drinks out there, and afterwards you can always just pretend you're drunk. :icon_wink We won't tell.
