Drinking while you are at a party is fun and in a way “mandatory” if you are with your friends having a good time. When you started drinking probably around 17 or 18, let’s be honest, not everyone waited until they turned 21, did you? You felt like it was the best thing in the world and the ultimate goal was to get drunk. The truth is, as you grow older you have more responsibilities and the “peer pressure” is not as important as it was when you were younger. You think twice before drinking and think 10 times before getting drunk.
When you make up your mind and decide to not drink, you notice things that you wouldn’t have been able to notice if you were drunk:
- The peer pressure does not really exist because people do not care; they are focus on their drinking.
- Your friends do not look attractive at all when they are drunk; it is funny because some people actually drink to feel prettier.
- Have you noticed your girlfriends’ makeup? Trust me, the eyeliner, the red lipstick all over their faces, is unpleasant to see.
- Waking up with no hangover: the best feeling in the world!
- You don’t get to spend much money when you don’t drink since alcoholic beverages are the most expensive.
- You can establish a good conversation with someone without the distraction of the alcohol, you don’t have to finish your drink fast, and you can just relax and enjoy the conversation.
- People who are heartbroken cry when they drink, and a girls' makeup becomes ruined. But your makeup is still on point even if you are heartbroken because you are not drinking.
- You can actually loose weight by not drinking -- the best diet of all. Sometimes people don’t know all the calories that alcoholic beverages have. You will get compliments on how much weight you have lost.
- You can meet someone when you are not drinking and the chemistry between you two will be obvious.
- People are so loud when they are drinking, and of course they don’t realize it. But when we don’t drink we do notice that, and find it annoying.
- You can wake up the next like nothing happened, you just had a fun night and you will feel perfectly okay.
- If you are sober it is easier to leave, you wouldn’t have to worry about who’s driving, you can do anything.
- You wont embarrassingly call your ex telling her/him you miss her/him and you wont loose your dignity!
- Whether you are wearing a cute dress or skirt you don't have to worry about embarrassing yourself in front of a large crowd by accidentally showing off your undergarments.
- You come to the conclusion that drinking doesn't mean having fun; you can have the same amount of fun -- if not better -- while sober than having a cup in a hand.
