Are you into the drinking/bar scene?

[itsweird182]

I am 20, and it seems like everyone 18-30 is all about going to bars and getting hammered. I on the other hand have no interest in doing any of this, the only reason I would ever do it is because friends are doing it and I don't want to be left out. So, are you into drinking and going to bars?

At one point I was really into it but I never tried to get as drunk as possible like some other people do, I just liked to party and be sociable. Now that I'm in my late 20s I will still once in a while go to the club but I don't go every weekend like I used to and I don't drink as much. I've always been kind of a lightweight drinker and never liked liquor, but now that I'm older I get buzzed by beer #1.5 and drunk by beer #3 or 4, and by beer #6 (if I get that far) I'm ready to pass out...I'm getting too old for this sh*t, lol

i wasnt until I turned 21 but at the same time I was starting to break out of my shell and I like to gain confidence and develop through meeting new people and talking to women with some "liquid courage" but before then I never thought it was for me

now I look forward to it every time before I go out

[itsweird182]

When you say "break out of your shell", you mean you were kind of an introvert before you turned 21? and turning 21 kinda changed that because you could go out after that? I kinda feel like the same thing will happen to me when I turn 21.

Yea well I had just lost a lot of weight and that was always a big insecurity for me but I quickly learned that losing the insecurity doesn't mean you are automatically gonna have the skills that go along with confidence...i have been in good shape for almost a year now and am just learning those skills on almost a daily basis....

i was not painfully shy but was shy around attractive girls and the bars/parties are perfect for that because they are strangers that you don't have to see again if...

Something goes wrong...

if you are shy I would suggest you go with your friends and at least try it....embrace it...and try to set personal goals for yourself that night....try to take yourself out of your comfort zone a little more each time and start approaching strangers...everyone is friendly when drinking

if after a while your still not into it than at least you tried

hope this helps

I'm really not shy at all, I was in high school, but not anymore. I think the only thing that would make me uncomfortable in a club/bar is if everyone wanted to dance or something because I've never really done that and wouldn't know what to do. lol.

I go to bars, and I'm 23, but I am under the impression that drinking for the sake of getting drunk is like f***ing for the sake of getting pregnant. Its kinda defeating. Go to the bars, hang with your buds, have 2 beers and you don't have to get drunk. And I have seen people in bars order cokes pretty commonly, there isn't shame in being in a bar and not getting drunk. Just pace yourself and make sure you never get into a car with someone who has been drinking ever.

Never been into that stuff. I'm 22 and most people my age are always out clubbing or drinking. But I'd rather stay home and watch a film, cook food, and spend some quiet time together.

Oh. how cute. are you a bit nerdy?

[May1987]

Haha, do you even need to ask?

[Littletad]

I don't mind hanging out with friends at a bar once in a while, but I rarely drink and typically avoid that lifestyle.

No. Alcoholism runs in my family, and I lost my grandfather from it when I just six weeks old.

Not really. I don't like bars or clubs.
