Soda in a rocks glass with ice and a lime wedge, makes people think you're drinking gin and tonic.
Joshua Baker
ginger ale
Zachary Brooks
Bingo.
Adrian Brooks
look up videos on youtube if you want to learn to dance. practice in front of the mirror. shirley temple or arnold palmer are the only non alcoholic drinks i can think of.
Dylan Lopez
If you aren't going to drink then don't bother going. You will not have fun, you will not dance, it will be embarrassing and awkward.
Kayden Howard
soda water with a generous few drops of bitters in it.
Parker Davis
Isn't a Shirley Temple a woman's drink?
Logan Rivera
Shirley Temple is just ginger ale with grenadine. If you need to be a MAN you get a Rob Roy which is coke and grenadine.
Just get a soda water with bitters in a collins glass, that way it will at least LOOK like you're having a cocktail.
Luke Hughes
This guy sounds like he's experienced.
Joseph Phillips
Order a virgin screwdriver out of earshot of the other folks in the group.
Gavin Carter
>Also, how the fuck do I dance? alcohol
Isaac Howard
>I don't drink and am wondering what are some "acceptable" non-alcoholic drinks I could order so as not to be the autist drinking water. There's nothing acceptable if people are hearing you order, unless you claim diet reasons/designated driving reasons that I can think of and your friends are celebrities who model or workout for the olympics. You can say "I'm on antibiotics" for such and such and it doesn't mix, sounds better than your psych meds. That won't work every time though. But, for fakeout drinks you need to think twist of lime or lemon in your soda, and that's about it. Getting bloody mary mix with lime is a good fakeout. It's healthy, gives you some gnoshing celery, and some tip you can give a bartender for doctoring up to your hotness specifications. You can order the "virgin" pina colada, frozen and might not cry too much about how sweet it is, or might find some smoothie on a menu, but it invites questions about whatever cool thing you ordered. Hitting up fruit juices like cranberry and soda with lime might look like a sea breeze or something with a name to the casual observer. Red bull is found at most bars, and an excuse about "oh alcohol makes me sleepy when I'm this tired...
Why not just drink one drink, and nurse a second? That's social and reasonable both. It makes you nonjudgemental of others and sober to drive home both. Worry about your invitation for the next time by being rude 100% "no thanks." It's okay to be a lightweight, which is quite normal for only occasional drinkers. Order what tastes good to you or you wish to acquire a taste for and just don't make a big deal out of it. You know your limits and they are light.
Dancing is practice. Watch someone else and do the same, or practice at home from some videos online or take a class.
Robert Robinson
This guy gets it, senpai.
Adam Hughes
I've bartended for a number of years, I know things.
Like I know that OP will have a miserable time babysitting all his friends while they get loose and talk to girls and enjoy themselves.
Seriously OP, have a drink and relax. Or don't, but then if you don't also don't sit there quietly and be a buzzkill.
Jaxon Torres
What if I don't even drink soda?
Caleb Garcia
broheim, you got autism written all ove you from worrying about ordering a non-alcoholic drink to knowing how to dance
wear your Star Trek uniform (the nice one) and it will all work out
party on! OP
Oliver Cruz
Just claim you're the designated driver.
Kevin Cruz
Just drink your choice of soda and stop being such a fucking autist. If you don't act like an awkward fuck while ordering and drinking, then people won't care what you drink.
Otherwise just say you're a muslim.
Connor Ortiz
OP's thread is shit, and a little gay, so let me just step in and relay my own clubbing experience.
I'm a standard white guy. Not too dorky, but not exactly "fresh" looking. I went clubbing for the first time about 5 months ago with my nigress wife and some of her friends/ family. Two of the guys there were pretty cool, and normally sociable people. But for whatever reasons, they sat and played Clash of Clans on their phones, sitting on a chair by the wall or leaning the whole night.
I, on the other hand, spent like 80 bucks on drinks, flirted with the walking staff for free shots, and danced, even though I had no idea what I was doing. I had fun, and felt cooler than the black people who I went with.
My point is, don't be a nigger OP. Get out there, drink a little, and have some fun.
Josiah Murphy
As for dancing, a simple two-step with some rythmic leaning should do it. I'm assuming your a man; this is all that is expected of you.
Isaac Miller
Sprite with a lime wedge and say it's vodka lime.
Veeky Forums here. Shit works every time.
Dumbass tries to steal your drink just smack a bitch.
Ryan Price
>how do i pretend to drink >how do i pretend to socialise >how do i pretend to dance >how do i pretend to pretend Are you a robot?
Ethan Campbell
The fact that you are trying to avoid looking like an autist means you are going to look and act like an autist no matter what you drink. Good luck though
Jason Gutierrez
This post is painfully accurate OP.
how do you plan on responding?
Jacob Perez

Alexander Jenkins
not a robot, but she might be a replicant, Nexus 6, which means she doesn't have time to fuck around with niceties here, mes amies
Kevin Long
W-which one's the nice one?
Ian Cruz
This. I'm borderline autistic when sober but alcohol makes me party hard
Hangover sucks tho
Gabriel Nguyen
Not a robot. You know how we all have those seemingly retarded rules we hold ourselves to? Abusive father was an alcoholic and ended up hanging himself in our house when I was 11. Told myself I'd never drink.
Christopher Foster
If you get a hangover you're doing it wrong. Drink a little less or space drinks out over more time. Keep yourself hydrated with glasses of ice water between drinks too. If you somehow have a hangover after all that, drink black coffee and ice water woth a breakfast high in fat, protein, and carbs.
David Allen
well thank god the prick killed himself when you were still pretty young probably a good call on the drinking
Isaiah Sullivan
light beer
Aiden Gomez
same alcohol content.
Ryder Nguyen
Boo fucking hoo. Does your alcoholic dad also make you incapable of having fun sober? Does his ghost stalk you and tell you people judge you for not drinking at a club?
Christian Robinson
If you're really worried about it, offer to be the designated driver. No one will bat an eye that you're not drinking. If you're trying to fly under the radar, order cranberry and soda or just get a coke.
Gabriel Collins
Stop being such a bitch and have a drink with your friends. If you can't do that, don't go out with them you social autist
Carson Hughes
Not OP, but I also don't drink for personal reasons. And people like you are the fucking worst to deal with when we just want to go out have fun with our friends, not wanting to drink is not being a bitch it's being fucking responsible
Justin Carter
>standard white guy >ingress wife
got some bad news for you user
Luis Kelly
>ingress There are people who still play that?
Aaron King
>call him out for being the faggot he is because he's self conscious about what people will think of him not drinking >instead of just having fun sober
>hurr durr you people are the worst
Jason Ortiz
I had to give up boozing, OP.
Can't help you on the dancing part but for drinks you can get away with:
-Roy Rogers -Clear soda (club for ultimate realism) with ice and lime wedge -Michelangelo -Gunner if you like ginger beer -Muddy Water if you need to puke
Or just ask the bartender if they can make something up on the spot that is virgin and tasty just for you. Most bartenders (especially at your classier joints) will be quite happy to make something for you custom and won't give a fuck if you're not boozing--makes their lives easier.
Just don't Jew on a tip and your friends won't notice you.
Isaac Edwards
>Otherwise just say you're a muslim
Now's not the right time.
Xavier Perez
Club soda with lime is what I do. Drink it slow.
Robert Anderson
rootbeer.
how do you dance? become black.
Asher Hernandez
If you don't feel comfortable with your friends finding out such a trivial bit of information about you, then you are either a baby bitch or your friends are cunts or both.
Cameron Evans
Or just not drink and dont have to deal with any of that.
Jordan White
If those jungle-bunnies are going to keep stealing white women, I'm going to insist on us taking some of theirs. Plus, my heredity has nothing to do with my sex life.
Cooper Turner
>what are some "acceptable" non-alcoholic drinks Literally whatever you want. If the crowd you hang around is so anal about you not drinking alcohol, screw them.
Quite a lot of my friends don't drink alcohol for numerous reasons and not even once was this a big deal, be it a private gathering or a bar/club/restaurant/whatever.
I thought an Arnold Palmer was simply half iced tea and half lemonade?
Jason Garcia
it is plus half gin
Ryder Evans
>social autists considering social autism as 'being responsible'
Bentley Butler
It is. The other joker doesn't know what he's talking about.
Dylan Baker
No.
Angel Myers
An Arnold Palmer is iced tea and lemonade. That's all.
Hunter Ramirez
you forgot the half gin
Dylan Russell
Incorrect.
Aaron Wright
You know it's socially acceptable to go on a night out and not drink right? Drunk people don't even realise you're sober. Drink whatever you want, but I'd say have an energy drink or two to keep your energy levels up, cause when you're tired and sober, that's when you start becoming a killjoy
Owen Wood
These, interspersed with water because fuck drinking soda all night.
Robert Ortiz
He might be the DD
ie the sacrificial lamb cause his friends are too fucking cheap to get a cab and probably only invited him because they knew he was a loser and could make him DD for them
DESU a nice star trek uniform that doesn't look like pajama shit would be a nice convo starter in a bar.
Jack Torres
how do I get this fucking shit off my phone I installed it on a lark one day and it keeps sending me fucking notifications
Christopher Collins
That's a Roy rogers, Ron Roy is alcoholic
Aiden Kelly
It's an "autist overthinks everything" episode. Drink whatever you want
Also everyone's family probably has alcoholism in it but not everyone is autistic enough to think that that means they should never ever drink.
Hudson Harris
Another non-drinker here. Being out with people that are drunk while you're sober is not fun at all. I'm an ex alcoholic/drug addict, and now that I'm sober, I'm a complete shut in loner because literally everyone I work with or know drinks and being around drunks sober is the fucking worst.
Kevin Jones
Why is it not fun?
Samuel Rogers
Drunk people act fucking stupid.
Ayden Harris
I was a cunt who didn't drink once. Pointless. A beer or two doesn't seriously impair your faculties outside driving but still loosens your tongue if you're the sort that needs it. Just don't overdo it.
Daniel King
Drunk people act fun. Have you tried not letting it bother you?
Christian Harris
>it's fun when a faggot bro tries to fight you for literally no reason
William Campbell
I had part of a half pint at CatBar and it slurred my speech a little and I didn't like it so I haven't drank since. I've also glossed over some research about the carcinogens that form as soon as alcohol touches the tongue. It's just not worth it to me.
Eli Martin
Take a group dance class. Hip hop can apply to most "club" dancing and it's usually filled with cute girls. You start to pick up moves and apply them when they're out. It's also a nice light workout.
Andrew White
>not getting the upper hand and turning it into sex
Isaac Martin
Enjoy being accused of rape for having sex with a drunk chick while sober.
Jose Wood
>banging chicks What are you, gay?
Christian Allen
Lol what? Are you the size of a child?
Joshua Wood
O'doul's bra >How do I dance Alcohol bra
Jace Lewis
Why is it so shameful just to tell people you dont drink alcohol?
If anything people will respect you more for sticking to your principles in a place that all but demands you binge drink.
Owen Allen
Yes.
Anthony Morales
The reality is no one cares as long as you don't harp on how great you are for abstaining/how bad they are for drinking or act like a stick in the mud
