We should normalize stocking products like Liquid Death at bars for people who don’t want to drink and need a product that’s so visually wild that nobody will think “oh that’s literally water in a can.”
I saw a comic who spoke about telling the bartender before shows to put tea in his glass instead. Even if people order a shot for him, it should just be tea. It looked enough like alcohol that no one would make a big deal about it.
It’s wild that you can’t just be like “I want tea” without it becoming a whole thing.
This. I’m not completely sober but I did get myself in trouble a couple times after moving to a new city where I didn’t know anyone. The only way to meet people was at a bar and when I did make friends with my interests, again, it was always meeting up at a bar.
I get it. Where are you going to go after work when other places are closing and it’s dark outside.
my social anxiety made it all worse. What do I do with my hands? I guess I’ll hold a drink. I hated the whole thing. Now, I’m in my 30s and I barely leave my house. Dogs are better than people. 😊
in general queer people are just more likely to become alcoholics (for example: me) because we’re more likely to face rejection from family, not be accepted by society, and ofc, we have politicans gunning for us the whole time
I didn’t realize that public places for queer folk had so much alcohol involved.
And so many people want to go out drinking when you first meet up with them too
I’ve been sober for 5 years and it’s kinda tough at times

I’ve known a lot of strippers and dancers to do the same type of thing. It’s a good idea.

Just get some disease diagnosed, then say the meds for it don’t allow alcohol. Works for me since a year lol

I didn’t make that connection, but thank you for informing me.
