Hai guise, I need tips on saying no to alcohol at parties(serious)

**Richie_Awesome** · 07-13-2007, 06:15 PM

I don't need tips on physically saying no, that's easy. But whenever I say no, people give me all this BS about I need to unwind and relax. The thing is, I have a great time playing games, chatting with guys and chicks, doing dumb things(without alcohol), going out driving, and just chilling.

The only bad part is that it seems like you socially have to drink, I dont' get it.

I don't mind at all if others drink, but I still need to cut a lot of fat, and if I drink, going through all the trouble of having a good diet is ruined(at least cutting)

So, basically, any tips on dealing with people who give you bs about not drinking? one said "You don't look like your having fun, you want to drink?"...while he was in between throwing up and I was laughing my ass off, having a good time playing some cards.

btw...everything at their parties centers around drinking...they play so many games where the object is to drink.

serious answers please, will rep. I'm not anti-social! I love going out and having fun

"no"

**dollee** · 07-13-2007, 06:16 PM

just say "i'm all set"

if you're having a good time, they'll leave you alone soon enough. if you're at a reasonably large party, 2/3 of the people won't even know if you're drinking or not. just go chat with girls or whatever, have a good time. after 30 mins, nobody's gonna bother you about drinks. if they do, just take the drink and go give it to some girl.

tell them you took some painkillers

Good idea. Most are about 15-20 people, in a 2 story house.

so?ive done it... i dont know why you want to say no but from expirience i know "nah im driving later" or "i got work tomorrow" lets someone off the hook

**Mike-anon** · 07-13-2007, 06:19 PM

Why do you even need to ask us? Sounds like you secretly want it (yes e-psychiatry

)

Just say no dude. I personally drink, but I never pressure others into doing it. If I offer and they say no thanks, I say cool and just talk to them or whatever....just say no, and give a nice "self-satisfied laugh" as you say no.

Most of the time I'm too drunk to even know how others are doing.

P.S. This is a serious thread, so no one post "yur 17". I realize, thanks, I try to be responsible towards things though.

**savage_animal** · 07-13-2007, 06:20 PM

Say you're on steroids.

**NosLliWhsoj** · 07-13-2007, 06:20 PM

as long as you are strong with your "no" then you should have no problem. but when you act like a girl saying "no" then you get weird looks.

**OoFaP** · 07-13-2007, 06:20 PM

You can either own them by making a comment on how they are poisoning themselves and you are too smart to do that.

Or you can make them think your drinking by putting water in some kind of container so everyone assumes it's alcohol.

Edit: You can also say you hate the taste of it and if they say Oh come on then make them eat something that you know they hate.

I have no problem reading, I find myself in the same position as you just described quite often, last Wednesday for example. Yeah, people will talk **** about you not wanting to drink, but if you're having fun, who the hell cares. I just recently learned how to have fun w/o drinking, now I don't have to worry about feeling like **** in the morning, or getting a DUI.

**Worldwide** · 07-13-2007, 06:21 PM

"Just Say No" bro. Get high on life.

**Travis71902** · 07-13-2007, 06:22 PM

Start drinking soco and diet coke and babysit that **** all night. Thats what I do, unless of course I actually wanna get drunk.

**Baby_Jesus** · 07-13-2007, 06:22 PM

Just say you have work 2mm

1st one. No, they wouldn't listen to that bs. Whenever I say no, they say "oh he's a health nut, he never drinks"...but they offer it 24/7 at parties lol.

2nd...idk...

**Runngunn29** · 07-13-2007, 06:24 PM

you're probably going to get alot of ****, but the best thing would just be to say "no" and have confidence in your personal decision. Unfortunately, too many people feel you can only have fun if u drink and you're "uptight and unsocialable" if you dont drink at parties. I hate elitist drinking bastards who make it tough and uncomfortable on people who dont drink.

Then just make an excuse. Work the next morning or say you have a physical at the doctor and you can't have alcohol in your system.

**mofugger** · 07-13-2007, 06:25 PM

go to the party tonight and have one beer and flip out. Throw tables at people and ****, then try to pick up really heavy **** you obviously can't (like a fridge) and make sure to fail after veins pop out of your head (for comedic value). Then strip naked and run out of the house.

Next time you go to a party with those people they'll never ask you if you want a drink again or give you **** for saying no.

do it

**54bobcat54** · 07-13-2007, 06:26 PM

take a beer.
empty it
fill it with water

**dollee** · 07-13-2007, 06:28 PM

too much trouble. just say "i'm not drinking tonight"

if you're having a good time, chatting with girls, etc. nobody's gonna give a **** if you drank or not.

when i'm at a party, i got better things to worry about than whether or not 1 of my friends is choosing to get drunk on that given night.

**achievasc92** · 07-13-2007, 06:28 PM

just say you don't feel like drinking. Its not a big deal.

**American Psycho** · 07-13-2007, 06:29 PM

'no' doesn't work as well as people are saying it does, even when you're confident. people do this and it will bring about other questions as to why or 'you pussy' or sth to that nature.

something like 'i'm straight' or 'i'm all set' as dollee suggested is the best way to go.

**lachy** · 07-13-2007, 06:30 PM

take 1 beer, hold it the rest of night? no problems?

**AaronC** · 07-13-2007, 06:32 PM

just say thanks, but no. you seem like a really grounded guy, who cares what others think.

**Travis71902** · 07-13-2007, 06:33 PM

While drinking alcohol, many people become codependent which leads to them being enablers. So you're gonna deal with this forever when you're in these kinds of settings. My friends don't really give me **** anymore when we go to bars and I just order diet coke, mountain dew, etc. Eventually, if you're consistant, your friends weel begin to expect you not to drink and maybe even be surprised a little when you do.

Personally, If I drank all the time I would LOVE for one of my friends to be a bodybuilding, non-drinking, health freak. Thats equates to DD everytime we go out

Hmm, yeah. I do have a good time, but it gets annoying when they keep asking if I'm drinking. Great time can turn into repetitious annoyance, you know?

BLASPHEMY!

is that really possible?

**fit_monster** · 07-13-2007, 06:41 PM

you can drink and still cut successfully, don't go overboard unless you are trying to be a competition bodybuilder. Lifting and staying in shape is great, but you need to have a balance in life.

**Mike-anon** · 07-13-2007, 06:43 PM

Oh ya, and make sure you mention how broke you are and **** and how you can't afford anything.
