I am sober for 20 days today. I’ve chosen to drink lemonade. But maybe you can suggest any other good drinks. I wish you all health and peace.
I enjoy getting a club soda with a lime! And it helps avoid awkward conversations if they arise.
Idk, After getting sober, the whole club scene lost it’s luster and glimmer.
But let me tell you about Arnold Palmers, aka half lemonade half iced tea…
My go to when I’m out on the go.
Dinner at a fancy restaurant - Arnie Palmies
Dinner at a dive, hole in the wall - BAM! Arnie Palmies
Dinner with vendors in Vegas - Arnie Palmies Cha Ching
Hot summer day working in the yard… Water followed by some Arnie Palmies
But you know what my drink of choice is while flying? Arnie Palmies! But they usually wont make them, so coffee I guess.
I think if I were to go to pubs or clubs, I’d end up trying to drink it as if it were a pint (mentally) and that wouldn’t help my addiction. Besides, I dont need to be in pubs or clubs…So I don’t go to them.
If I go out or have a drink after work then it’ll just be lemon and lime cordial.
Club? Disco? LOL. I’m in bed by 9pm. My dance parties are in my kitchen.
BUT when I’m at a place where I’d like a non-alcoholic drink I like club soda with lime.
WATER!, on the rocks of course.
Like the other posters have said, I tend not to frequent pubs and clubs these days. I do occasionally meet friends there, and as we enter office Christmas party season, and I’ll probably do so sporadically in the next month or so.
I tend to switch between non-alcoholic drinks a lot more than I did with alcoholic beverages when drinking - probably to avoid getting bored really quickly.
Fresh orange juice & lemonade, diet coke, diet irn bru, ginger ale & lime, lemonade & lime, and so on. If the option is there I’ll stick with the Diet or zero / sugar free variants, otherwise my sugar instake would dramatically increase.
Tonic and lime! Helps stave off malaria…
Last time in club, I took some diet coke. And water later in the night, because dancing make you thirsty
Same at concerts
i stick to pure water whereever I am. clubs and disco … I prefer an early bedtime and a magnificent sunrise. exept a friend calls for a dance party. then I dance my ass off and need lots of water.
Same. And they only last 5 to 15 seconds.
Just enough time to cut some sick moves.
This is for you, @HoofHearted
Just dropped
I was at a techno club last week, all night long, I had a root beer then water. It was fun ! It’s always fun, until 4am when everyone seem so high or drunk, then it’s still fun but also a reminder of the greatness of sobriety
I’m only four days in, first time I’ve not had alcohol on a Friday night for years, stayed in, tonight might be the big test going for a meal, dreading the works Christmas party. I’ve been to the pub and drank coke with ice this last 2 days. I’m currently in the gym and feeling great
