What Do People Do Instead of Drinking? - Page 5

I do not drink at all, never have. I mostly get by because I have friends who do not drink either... Obviously we do all sorts of things together and alcohol never plays a part.

In terms of broader life issues, I get around it by being the busiest guy anyone has ever met. I:

- Work in a law firm (3-4 days/week)
- Work in a service station (normally 1 shift a week, varies)
- Work as a freelance graphics designer (though practically all my work is now for 1 organisation) (evenings and Saturday's)
- Play squash with 2 friends every week (Friday afternoon)
- Do competitive indoor rowing (keeps me in great shape)
- Regularly have dinner with mates on non-drinking nights (after work, Mon-Thur) and breakfast on Saturday mornings if they're available
- Help dad on his property every other weekend (seriously hard work)
- Am a youth worker - every Sunday, all day, looking after hordes of disadvantaged kids - this is exceptionally rewarding and challening
- Am a tutor at my uni (paid work for the law society) - I like teaching
- Study full time

I also have a number of interests (clothing being one) which keep my mind stimulated.

So no, I don't go out drinking on Friday or Saturday night, but I certainly am never, ever bored.

I don't know.  I just don't really like drinking.  I'll go to a friend's party like twice a year, but even then I don't really drink much.  I just like hanging out.

 

This isn't really helpful to the OP, but I guess I live a little more laid back.  I go out shopping, eat, stay home (browse forums, blogs, articles), watch tv, play games (arcades, video games, sports).  All of these I do with friends (minus the stay home part) and without drinking.  I guess it's just a lifestyle sort of thing.  You get used to it.  I don't have more fun when I drink.

Make friends with local Mormons. They can take you to their single events where you can socialize and dance with girls without booze. Granted, you probably wont be getting laid but I guess that's a subject for another thread.

Don't those girls fantasize about a guy showing up and seducing them secretly behind the community's back? Problem is, they don't wear makeup or dress very well :(
