Is it okay to drink on a first date?

[Anonymous]

[johnathon00]

Whether or not it's okay to drink on a first date is a personal decision and can depend on a number of factors. However, there are some things to consider when deciding whether or not to drink on a first date.

First, drinking on a first date can make it harder to get to know the other person and can cloud your judgement. Being sober will help you have a more clear mind and help you remember the conversation you had.

Additionally, drinking too much on a first date can give the wrong impression and make you appear irresponsible or not in control of your behavior. It can also lead to unwanted situations.

Also, there are many possible reasons why people choose not to drink, such as religious or personal beliefs, health concerns, or recovering from alcoholism. Being aware of your date's preference and respect it accordingly.

On the other hand, drinking on a first date can also help some people feel more relaxed and comfortable. It can be a way to relieve the pressure that can come with a first date, especially if you're nervous.

Ultimately, whether or not to drink on a first date is a personal decision, and the most important thing is to be aware of the potential effects of alcohol on yourself and your date, as well as to make sure that you're comfortable with your own decision.

It is important to set your own boundaries and to be aware of the possible effects of alcohol on yourself and your date. And it's a good idea to communicate openly with your date about your intentions and what you're comfortable with, to prevent any misunderstandings or uncomfortable situations.

I always order water and I’ve been that way since 14 because I did the numbers on a Dollar soda verse no expense over time. I’m a margins guy, “what you want from me?” Same logic has been applied to lottery too, by the way.

With dinner, 1 glass of wine and NOT a bottle. Drawing that clear line in the sand communicates a place for alcohol but alcohol is not center stage. And guys, please don’t offer or suggest another, however, if she does mention it then move her arse into a martini 🍸 🫒 or after dinner Tuacca and coffee to really get that horny engine running at top speed. Do watch out for the G-forces when driving this machine…

As long as it's not a stranger and you can trust them not to put the date rape drug in your drink - you can drink on a first date. My friend from child hood brought a water bottle with her when she went to bars and poured all her alcohol into the bottle so she could take it away with her when she went to the washroom, this way she knows guys can't rape her at bars by sneaking drugs into her drink.

[Orion76]

Absolutely this way she won’t get raped also the guy won’t get raped with the bill 😅

[shanshu]

Genius plan

[wtfhunt]

Wtf for that just say no to the invitation

[Lynnfriend]

Yeh I think it's ok it helps loosen you up and Litten things up so you can talk better if someone is shy or the quiet type but not if you have a drinking problem. Then it would likely be a big mistake. You don't want to get out of control and stupid that will not leave a very good first impression but it will however leave a lasting one.

[OlderAndWiser]

A first date means I have gone somewhere by automobile and will be driving home afterwards. When I am driving, my llimit is ONE mixed drink or ONE glass of wine, providing that I will have at least an hour aftrwards before I must drive. I have a professional license and will not jeopardize it in any way. And drinking does NOT impress the kind of woman I hope to attract.

[coachTanthony]

If they are drinking yes if they are not I don't recommend it. You're two or three drinks on a first date might be a turn off to someone who is not. Keep it cool on that first date.

[AviatorTom]

If both of you imbibe and are both of legal drinking age, sure, it's fine. It would not be a good idea for you to drink and your partner nit though.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Have A drink/glass of wine yes… get drunk, no I wouldn’t for various reasons

[Orion76]

Agreed, I would be concerned if that happened on a first date.

[Paul_in_Indy]

I don’t drink, myself. I prefer that a girl not drink on an early date—or, at least, drink very little. I want something physical to happen as early as possible, but until I know how she reacts to alcohol and/or we have established a pattern, I don’t dare approach any physical affection if alcohol is involved.

If we have been dating for a while, I am willing to put the moves on you when you have had a few drinks and are enjoying yourself. But unless we’ve set the precedent, I don’t want to even put my hand on your knee when you are drinking.

So, drinking ruins the vibe for me early on. Then again, I’m not a good example.

[Lliam]

On a first date? Sure. Like one drink. Getting buzzed, though, can lead to problems.

Booze could lower your inhibitions and make you act differently than normal. You might embarrass yourself or do something you wouldn't do if you were clear headed.

It sends certain signals to a guy. He might be turned off by a silly drunk. Or he might think you are a party girl; an easy hook up; the kind of girl who drinks to get wild.

So it depends on your goal, and the kind of impression you want to make. There's nothing wrong with feeling good and hooking up if that's what you want.

[mamuma02]

Its okey

Persoalky i m not brave enough to to drink on the first date, even though I m not a light drinker. I prefer just going to have coffee and sweets. Just keeping it simple on the first date and go somewhere you can have a conversation while you are sober.

[musicbrain5]

Yes, as long as you are responsible about it. If you're driving, I would advise against it unless you have one drink with your food, and wait maybe an hour or so before driving. Even if you are not driving, I would advise against overindulging. It leaves a very bad impression.

[lightbulb27]

I classify drinking as one of the most stupid concepts invented since humans climbed out of "the tree".

I drink water, maybe tea. I'll drink some good tasting alcohol at home, wouldn't do it at work or a first date. I'd rather have all my faculties and feel my feelings. I'd want to be confident she is not drugged... for drugged women are very dangerous.

you decide...

[TheorionMage]

There's 'quality' and 'quantity' and being aware of your limit... and how it affects your judgement & self-control. Alcohol affects your inhibitions, your anxiety and honesty-to-one's self.

Q?: are you looking for a later rationalization for your engagement in behaviors you'd otherwise have passed on... with the alibi that "THAT, wasn't the REAL 'me'..." (Yes, yes it WAS!)

[Finchie40]

Sure why not , if I am asking a girl to go for drinks with me then she knows already we will be having some drinks , I won’t get bombed but having a couple drinks together while getting to know each other I see nothing wrong with that , the only time it would be wrong is if she said she doesn’t drink then I ask her to do something else instead

[CallmeTheKnight]

If you're the one treating, then it's on you.
If you buy a drink, they can buy a drink.
If you don't get a drink, they're not getting a drink.
Simple as that

Now if you don't order a drink for yourself, but they order one for themselves, then just end the date immediately.

[Anonymous]

Only if you’ve established a connection before hand. I never drank on a first date my whole life until recently. I was talking to him for 2 weeks through texting and then when we finally met up we already were comfortable being ourselves.

So that’s my suggestion.

[Sirenboobzilla]

To have a drink or 2, perfectly. But know your limits and be safe. First dates shouldn't be where you get tipsy/drunk

[Justin1019]

Cool! Getting drunk is way for a person to show his true self. When people are drunk, they are typically more bold in saying what they have in mind.

You have to remember that in first dates, you should know the person you are dating.

[whorable]

if ur the designated driver no.. but even if you were both ubering home it wouldn’t be charming 2 drink so much where u get drunk, unless she’s into that then go crazy ig

[Sour-rose]

Yeah? I didn't drink on my first one because... we were kids. Also i like a very SELECT FEW of wine... and only drink them out of a certain cup. So yeah, it's fine

[Xavierwood]

I Always had a few drinks with dinner on a first date up until 4 years ago when I got sober…. The idea that it loosens you up or gives you some kind of “liquid courage” is all in your head. You don’t need a social lubricant to have a conversation. If anything you’ll wake up and be able to remember everything and what was said and won’t regret saying or doing anything stupid or out of character because you were buzzed !

[mandyfire98]

I mean, don't get hammered or anything but a drink or two is fine.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Why not?

You're not minors.

Just drink responsibly.

[Stoner710]

For me no I can’t stop after the first drink (my issue). Normally non-alcoholic people sure it’s fine to have a drink or two just don’t get drunk.

[pinkflamingo92]

1 drink max. No one wants a sloppy first date… and honestly I wouldn't trust what comes out my mouth after any more…

[SeriouslyFunny00]

For the guy it's ok, but for me I think it's a recipe for disaster, I mean.. distraction for me. 😂

[anon171999]

If you already know the person you are going on a date with and trust them completely, yes. Otherwise you may end up in a dangerous situation.

[Kaneki05]

I only drink to get drunk because otherwise I don't see the point in alcohol so nah. But if you a person who just has one beer that's fine.

[Justneedtokno]

It’s ok to do so. Just don’t go overboard. Personally I would just wait til the third date that were are a little more comfortable

[exitseven]

It depends. If the girl did not want an alcoholic beverage I would not have one either. If she was knocking them back I would try and keep up

[Charlesbrandonf]

Yeah very okay, as long as the person is down for it. You can literally do anything. Just make sure you’re in the good vibes.

[Catarine]

I think a glass or two is fine, but not to get wasted

[Handsomeguy_00]

Yes I'd say that drinking on a first date is fine, but make sure you respect your date as they might not drink. If they do drink then buying drinks for them will be a good move and she or he will buy you drinks back

[shanshu]

If you were at a restaurant then sure, people usually do like a glass of wine or something but wouldn't suggest getting drunk, it can leave a bad impression on your date.

[Nsync]

Sure, of course. I don't see why not. Exercise control and make sure the bottle is opened in front of you so it's not spiked. Also drink a drink that you know you can handle

[Nigjt]

I would say it's okay to do so it's just Women them self's need to be more careful so if ur a Woman reading this and you know what I mean because of Men.
God Bless

[Kountry_King]

Of course I just don’t think you should over do it

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

If the girl wishes to do so

[SClassWizzard]

I don't see why it shouldn't but its definitely something best to discuss with your date

[Jamie05rhs]

If she drank alcohol on our date, I would consider that a red flag, and I would be hesitant to go out with her again.

[Sparkie460]

It's ok to have a drink or two but always keep an eye on it. Don't let it out of your sight for one second.

[TacosRAwesome]

I don't think it's wrong but it depends on how much you're drinking.

[jamesgoldman]

I'd say yeah, I'd have a Scotch personally to steady the nerves

[SweetTwistedSatanist]

Yes maybe I can get him drunk enough to drag him back to my lair.

[Kaneki05]

I would willing go to your lair anyway lol

[SweetTwistedSatanist]

Then get drunk as a cherry on top before I make yours pop 😈

[Kaneki05]

I shall heed your demand.

[lifeamystery]

First date wine drinking is okay but first dates shouldn't mean you get wasted

[CuriousMufuxka]

Only if it's diet coke. Listen I took the pepsi challenge on a first date and things did not go well..

[Hardworkingguy]

It's okay to drink perhaps one during a date since you're there to get to know one another in a good conversation

[Echosoul]

I don't like alcohol generally. If my date is drinking like a horse (is that a phrase?) that may seem like a red flag to me.

[OddBeMe]

If you can handle it. Some fcks can't (women included). Either their threshold is low or they’re addicted.

[Phantomf4]

I agree with siren. One or two drinks and two is max. Because you don’t want to get drunk but you want to have a nice memorable first date

[sunflower44]

Depending on how well you know the guy and how much you drink

[Raaj4you]

Drink what? Don't drink alcohol. Eat, just talk and have fun.

[peedy]

Nothing wrong with having a drink just don't let the drink have you

[Anonymous]

I don't see an issue with drinking however I would say no more than 2. Just to maintain full awareness of the date plus it's pretty tasteless to get drunk on a first date.

[msc545]

it's ok, but only 1 drink and only if your date drinks.

[Guardian45]

Sure! Why not? Just don't drink to excess or if you're driving

[Petedevon321]

Yes. Within reason of course. U don’t wanna drink so much that u make a fool of urself. But having a couple drinks can calm any nerves u may have

[straightmax12]

That depends if you and your date is ok with it. Like having sex on a first date. It depends on both of you.

[wafflemakerman69]

It calms me down so i will at least have two maybe three.

[mikeske01]

Sure, why not, get a bit loose, 2 is more then enough, hold ur shit toghether

[frankinla]

Yes I don't see any problems with that. Be yourself

[Tonyblony5150]

Most definitely you do whatever you want as long as you respectful

[Prince_09]

I don't drink and i don't have idea on it because i never date a girl
