I come from a religious family and throughout most of my life I have never even considered drinking. I am now 23 and have never had a drink beyond a few sips but nothing to even get me buzzed. In college I surrounded myself w other religious ppl so I didn’t party either. Now out of college, I realized how sheltered I was and how common drinking culture is. I’m going on a double date to a sports bar w some coworkers (my date is a coworker that just asked me out) and I would like to have just one drink without getting drunk and still be able to drive home. Date is in 2 days. Any recommendations on what sort of drink to get? Should I buy alcohol beforehand to see what it’s like first? Any help is appreciated
Edit: thanks everyone for your responses. I am in no way being pressured to drink, it’s just something I’d like to start doing in social situations. After reading through the comments, I decided that I will be opting for a non alcoholic drink instead. I know people that have multiple drinks and are able to drive just fine so I thought I would be too, but have decided against it. Also thanks for the suggestions on what drinks to get in the future! You guys are amazing!
