PEOPLE CAN’T HAVE FUN WITHOUT DRINKING ANYMORE! AND THAT’S NOT OK.
You probably didn’t expect to hear this from a DJ, whose job is essentially to make people come to the venue and buy more drinks there. It would be a dumb thing for me to say something bad about drinking.
Unpopular opinion? Absolutely, but do I stand behind it anyway? 100 %
I wrote this to tell you that you can 100 % have fun without using any substances (the most common of them being alcohol). I once went out with a group of people who didn’t drink at all. And I had the most incredible time at a party ever. Let me tell you about it…
The Story
I live in the Czech Republic, where drinking is considered “normal” from an early age. When I was about 17 years old almost all of my peers were already drinking on a weekly bases. Practically any party you went to involved alcohol.
This one time I went to a birthday party with a group of people who I later found out weren’t drinking. It was one of the best parties I ever went to.
I enjoyed the party I mentioned so much because it was different from the other parties. No one was drinking, yet, we all “still” had fun.
This will maybe piss some people off, but I think the reason why most people drink is, that they got so used to partying drunk, they don’t know how to party sober anymore. Unfortunately, the only “fun” thing a lot of people know is getting wasted on the weekend and doing a bunch of stupid stuff. You get the idea.
The problem I see today is, that people think they wouldn’t have fun if they were not drinking, which is just not true. I wrote this to prove it and to show you there are different ways of partying.
“OK, YOU HAVE A POINT, BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN WITHOUT DRINKING ANYMORE.”
Don’t worry, I have tips for you XD
The Tips
aka “Be sober and still have fun!”
- Grab a tasty non-alcoholic drink! So you have something to sip. Your friends who are drinking won’t also keep asking you why you are not drinking.
- Talk to people! I have to admit, that talking to new people is much easier when you are drunk a little bit. It will be a little uncomfortable at first, but if you keep doing it anyways you will get used to it. I used to hate talking to others and now I love it.
- Pick a good company! Alcohol will not even cross your mind if you’ll be at the right party with the right people.
- Try something new! Going to bars and clubs is probably not gonna be as fun as it used to. You can look for some new events and venues. Try a bunch of new places and I am sure you will find something that will suit you.
- Use music to set the right atmosphere! Playing the right music makes a bigger difference than you might think. Just play one of my playlists on Spotify and you’ll be fine.
