You kinda just need to care less or hang out with people who care less. I don't drink and i go to bars and clubs all the time literally nobody has ever cared about what im drinking or not drinking.

Try to talk to 1 random person every day, just a casual conveesation. You might want to find similair interests and remember their name.
There are billions of people out there, you are one of them.

Make time to volunteer at a public service organization that you believe in -- at a food bank, animal rescue center, food delivery service for shut ins, etc. This will enable you to engage in emotionally rewarding service and meet people who are of the same "help out" attitude.
I have found that helping others, even for just a few hours a week will improve your mood, take you out of your own head (instead of thinking about being lonely, you are focused on others in need for those few hours) and connects you with others with similar mindsets who also volunteer.

So ask for chocolate milk.

I order a carbonated drink of whatever I'm feeling at the time.
I'm usually the DD anyways and I don't have to explain myself to others.
As someone who used to have paralyzing anxiety, over time I learned to just not care what other people think. It's certainly not an easy thing to achieve, but if I can do it, others can too.

The new NAs that have been coming out are pretty damn good. I’ve been enjoying the variety of IPAs from Athletic. Only one of our local breweries makes a NA and it’s not too bad. In the past few years it’s gotten better. Especially since Odouls.

Many many people in recovery drink NA beer to curb cravings.

I'm assuming it means that this shift is great for going partying straight after work You'll party, head home and sleep and then go to work again. So you're basically just partying and working

A much better pro tip for life would be to increase the quality of people that you spend time with. Anyone who hassles you because you are choosing not to drink, regardless of your reason, does not deserve the company of another warm blooded individual.

We can't really control other people. Sorry you had that kind of experience.

Reply to LPT 2nd or 3rd shift by threestakz
I would personally go with the 3pm - 11pm. It gives me enough time to sleep before needing to come into work and there is still plenty of time to do the things that I want to. On top of that, I wouldn't have to worry about traffic going to and from work. If you're into partying there is always the option to go out after your shift ends. Some things for you to consider.

Order a tonic with lime on the rocks. Looks like a vodka/gin cocktail. Otherwise, just forget the haters and own it.

That sounds pretty good too. I'll give that a go next time. Thanks.

Who cares what people think. I drank a glass of milk at a strip club. Make it weird for people.

Been drinking it for about 15 years, after I found out that it's not the alcohol that I like, it's the taste and just the act of drinking. What you stated may be true for you, but I don't mind n/a beer.
I probably am not an alcoholic except by the strictest of definitions. I just decided I didn't like the hangovers. So maybe what you say is more true for true alcoholics who crave the feeling of being drunk.

Personally loved both. Really loved 2nd because I could go out for late dinner and drinks and not worry about waking up the next day.

For me, it's not even friends. I swear, random people just ask. I honestly don't mind telling people why I don't drink, I have nothing to hide.. but it does get tiring.
We cruise a lot on Carnival, and drinking seems to be part of the environment, so it's probably that. I'm too old to bother with bars and clubs unless on vacation. Lol
