5 Ways to Have Fun Without Involving Alcohol

In This Article:

Everyone knows how much alcoholism has been glorified to death, especially in recent years, but the glorification can lead to how everyone sees alcohol in the long run. Many people will think that it is impossible to have fun without having to involve alcohol in any way, but in reality, that is far from the truth. There are so many ways lots of people, even adults, can have fun without having to drink a single glass of an alcoholic drink. These are only five of those ways, but there are lots of other ways people can have fun without having to drink alcohol.

1. See a Movie

What can be more classic and relaxing than seeing a movie in theatres? You can go alone or with a few friends; either way it is still a lot of fun. Plus, getting the chance to see a new movie when it is still in theatres can be a treat within itself (as long as someone did not spoil it for you in the first place).

2. Go to a Concert or Festival

Concerts and festivals can be mad expensive, but they are still a great way to have fun when you are able to get tickets. Seeing some of your favorite artists performing together live can be one of the most exhilarating feelings anyone can ever have during their young lives. Since most festivals are in the summer, and summer is when everyone has the most free time, it can be a great combo.

3. Have Dinner With Some Old Friends

What can be a better social gathering than going out to eat with a couple of old friends? Not only you can have some great food (maybe even try some new foods at a place you have never been to before), but you can catch up with old friends you have not seen in a long time.

4. Find a Hobby or Take a Class

If something makes you happy, you are having fun already. A hobby can be very helpful for self care and you can have fun doing it too. And if you want to learn how to do something, you can take an affordable class so you can learn how to do it and perfect your skills in that particular hobby.

5. Go to a Coffee or Dessert Shop

Who does not love to go to coffee shops or dessert shops? Everybody loves sweets or coffee, so that alone makes it fun within itself. There are many coffee and dessert shops that are local and can feel pretty homey, so finding a new dessert or coffee shop can be one of the best ways you can have some fun.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
