>sry I don't drink
Why is this so impossibly hard?

>>76446787 (OP)
Because the fabric of social construct of society is complex. Just have 1 beer you dyel, you aren't doing it every night.

>>76446794
What if I never drank or smoked in my life, am I supposed to just do it to impress other people?

>>76446787 (OP)
You need spiritual growth. Coming up on 3 years sober.

>>76446797
>am I supposed to just do it to impress other people
No you do it to seem normal. Thats the whole point of going along with the flow, making sure you aren't some weirdo. I know its dumb but you have to play this game when it comes to social activities or you will be left out.
Smoking you can turn down with no problem, society has no issues with people who don't smoke. But turning down a drink is seen as an insult even though this is somewhat old school and people claim they don't hold onto old values.

>>76446787 (OP)
because drinking is fun

I barely mutter a word sober and when im drunk I do a complete 180° and love everyone and am a fun person who can talk to anyone and make new friends easily. I also get blackout, belligerent and have lost friends because I go insane and piss people off

>>76446794
All of my family and even extended family are either active alcoholics or sober. I don't want to drink alcohol, I want to break the cycle. I want to prove to them and myself that a life without alcohol is possible and worth living.
>tfw losing my dad and mom to liver failure

>>76446813
that is shifting nowadays anyways. there's more and more people, specially young ones, who are aware of how harmful alcohol is and chose not to drink
I say this as an avid drinking who interacts with all kinds of people and the younger ones drink much less than when I was their age. when I was 16 heavy drinking was normal and only social retards didn't do it. nowadays heavy drinking is for social retards and normal kids drink moderately or not at all

>>76446813
It's not that it's an insult, or that people feel some sort of disgust towards you for not having a drink. It's that you're on a different wavelength to them and have set yourself apart, even if you aren't doing so with the intention of alienating them or yourself. You're just not part of the group who have decided to have that particular experience and if that's what they enjoy then they're less likely to connect with you. That's literally it

>>76446823
damn that's literally me

>>76446823
Sounds like you are heavily inhibited while sober and all that stuff comes out when drunk. More common than you think.

>the room smells like alcohol burps
Thanks guys, really cool.

>>76446825
Then do it. You might have mention it to someone so that people understand and word gets around but people will understand the struggles of people who have problems with alcohol.

>>76446836
>Kids don't drink now
Of course the kids that don't drink are going to tell you they don't drink. But if you think kids aren't having parties, you are absolutely delusional. You also think kids are not doing drugs either?

>>76446787 (OP)
Just say no and own it.

>>76446844
The opposite for me, as soon as I'm drunk I stop giving a shit about anyone around me and mostly I just get up and go straight home without even saying bye to anyone.

>>76446848
kids are having parties, they just don't drink in excess as much. I figure it's because of a combination of social media and fear of being recorded and shamed and a more widespread fitness culture that has made people aware of what they eat and all.

they do drugs tho. way more than my generation did. a wider variety of drugs, in higher quantities and with a much easier access.

You can just hold the same damn drink all night without anyone caring in the slightest. Just do a pretend half-sip every now and then and that's it, you are part of society.

>>76446787 (OP)
Beer tastes like shit and gives you tits

>>76446848
Kids nowadays are absolutely factually drinking way less and having way less parties and way less sex etc, everything what usually comes with alcohol. Nowadays pretty much everyone is terminally online and on various drugs/medication, that's the norm

instead of saying you don't drink say you're sober. people are way more accepting. i realize this is dumb.

Saying "I don't drink" implies that it's bad (it is) and it makes the other party feel insecure I noticed
I usually just say No Thanks, if they press on I say I dont want to

>>76446883
This. Normies don't exist anymore. Everyone knows what "mewing" and looksmaxxing are. Everyone is brainrotten. The internet used to be an escape from real life, but now you can't escape from the internet. Fuck this gay earth.

>>76446973
>Normies don't exist anymore
Youre still a kid, just wait until you grow up. You will see all this kid shit doesnt fly when you actually paying bills

>>76446988
I'm in my 30s lol. I remember a time before smartphones when actual normies still existed and the only people on the internet would be desktop computer nerds. Real life and the internet were two completely different dimensions. Now even boomers are addicted to doomscrolling and are getting brainrotted.

>>76447166
for real. my fiancee's grandmother sends her memes made with ai. probably by an indian who doesn't even know what a toilet is. and she laughes her ass off while scrolling such content. she's 85 years old

>>76446787 (OP)
sobriety sucks

>>76446813
fimd people that respect you not drinking. trust me they are out there. fuck all those that do not.
the way you communicate not drinking goes a long way too. just grab a non alcoholic drink and use a friendly no thanks if someone offer alcohol. do not lead with that alcohol is bad even if it is true

>>76447166
>>76447192
God damn. And you are still around adults who actually are up to date with all the kid shit? I work in tech and ironically nobody is up to date with any of the new trends. They aren't even up to date with sports or nothing. All they talk about is fuckin real estate and investments, I sort of wish they were into all this internet bullshit.

>>76447211
>fimd people that respect you not drinking
Thats a bit autistic anon. Its a whole lot easier to just grab 1 beer and drink that throughout the night. No need to get angry, 1 beer once in a while at some random event isn't going to kill your gains.
Id understand if you were a recovering alcoholic but thats a completely different story.

>>76446823
You should have spent time learning how to be entertaining while sober when you were young. Instead you took the easy way out and now it's the only way you know how to be sociable. Tough luck.

>>76446787 (OP)
if you change the phrasing to "No thanks, I'm Sober," it implies you used to be an alcoholic and people will respect you for abstaining.

>>76447234
>I work in tech and ironically nobody is up to date with any of the new trends. They aren't even up to date with sports or nothing. All they talk about is fuckin real estate and investments, I sort of wish they were into all this internet bullshit.
Ah, yes. The techbro who only talks about money. What makes you think this archetype is not a product of the internet? This didn't exist in the 2000s. Normies in their 20s or 30s were that cool uncle/older cousin who would give you your first beer, could talk about life and had stories to tell. The bugman techbro is barely human.

>>76447234
>I work in tech and ironically nobody is up to date with any of the new trends
easiest way to become obsolete
sure you can be up to date with everything related to your job and skills without knowing shit about memes and trends, but to me keeping up to date with trends and the youth is the easiest way to keep up with technology and culture, which are evolving faster than ever

>>76447254
I'm an alcoholic and believe me, people don't give a shit and when you're abstaining everyone will give you all these reasons for why you should drink just this once

>>76447283
What? Are you trying to imply talking about real estate and investments is some kind of internet trend?

>>76447291
>Keeping up with memes will help you keep up with tech and culture
Yea thats not going to help you at all. At no point did knowing about some new thing on tiktok help me migrate from an on premises server to a cloud interface.

>>76447316
>At no point did knowing about some new thing on tiktok help me migrate from an on premises server to a cloud interface.
you're not getting it. it's not about watching every skibbidi toilet episode, it's about being a part of the things that are being talked about at the moment. if you're part of the conversation, you're
not at risk of becoming a useless boomer who only has outdated knowledge, because you know exactly what people are doing

just think about all the shit you knew when you were 14 before it was mainstream that boomers couldn't comprehend and would later on revolutionize the way some things are done

>>76447354
>would later on revolutionize the way some things are done
Like what? What internet trend has helped tech stacks become more secure or optimized?

>>76446787 (OP)
you're not autistic enough

>>76447283
>What makes you think this archetype is not a product of the internet?
lmao, the meme was born out of reality you fuckin moron. not the other way around

>>76447366
I have no idea because it's not my field but an easy example is crypto currency. Anyone who browsed 4chan knew what bitcoins were before they were worth a damn and if I had been 30 then instead of 14 I'd be rich by now.
my fields are architecture and music and being up to date with trends is so important in either of those than 18 year old kids with zero experience have skills that are worth more than mine because they're used to new gen technology. A violin virtuoso or someone who's an expert on drawing plans by hand is worthless in a market in which kids are getting rich by using AI. I figure that has even more of an impact in tech.
things are constantly evolving. there's no point in becoming a useless old man. there's nothing wrong with aging, but being stubborn about the way you do things instead of adapting to the new trends is foolish, and it starts by understanding humor and language

>>76447401
>I have no idea because it's not my field
Well I can tell you internet trends do not dictate the evolution of technology. It might notify us what we need to censor or restrict but its not going to optimize any IDEs or languages.

>>76447401
>kids are getting rich by using AI
lolllllllllll, aint nobody gettin rich off ai my guy.

>>76446787 (OP)
It isn't hard. It's the easiest thing you can do with the most impact for you health. It's better than going to the gym every day for years. Just quit and watch your life improve immeasurably. JUST QUIT. Just stop doing the thing, that's all. It's so simple and it's ALSO very easy. You just have to WANT to do it, is all.

>>76447425
that's a crazy statement

>>76447435
if it was true, i would have done it anon. everyone would. ai puts out bullshit generic responses anytime i ask it anything, don't tell me its spitting out business moves that works

>>76446787 (OP)
Its not. Though people will react in one of 2 ways when you decline a beer, that you're either an alcholic with zero self control or a pussy.

Solution: 2 beers. Drink the first one normal, then nurse the 2nd one the rest of the time.

>>76446787 (OP)
>sorry, I don't drink
>Oh okay anon. I've got some pop, tea, or water?
>Sweet, thank you!
?

>>76447497
it's not about asking them how to get rich, it's about using it to automatize processes. most companies are using it to save a lot of money
it is also being used to reach clients, design interfaces and as an aid in creative processes, among other uses

and there's obviously bot social media accounts spamming ai made memes that get in the algorithm have shit tons of followers and views, netting plenty of $ to some indian bank account

>>76447313
That's normal. They're not there to help you be sober. You still aren't supposed to accept it.

What do you do if you are going out with a girl to a bar or dinner? Alcohol usually really helps to get her loosened up and makes the date easier. If you quit then you are the guy who orders a coke while she will have wine. She will think you are a predator trying to get her drunk.
What do you do because so many dates and getting to know a girl involves alcohol?

>>76447234
>people in tech always need to tell everyone they work in tech even when its completely irrelevant
why is this?
>and the only thing your people in tech talk about is how rich they are
yeah what a fucking surprise.

>>76447592
I'm not here to help pregnant ladies give birth, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna punch them in the belly.

>>76447558
Im the tech bro guy you were talking to earlier but I can also tell you AI is not being used to do any of that in tech. It can be helpful for very small tasks such as optimizing a block of code or asking it if there is a potential for exceptions to be thrown but there is absolutely 0 chance AI is going to be used to replace any worker at both the business and technology side.
Please stop talking about tech and pretending you have worked in any companies involving tech.

>>76447617
Because we were talking about how normies don't follow internet trends. Do you need me to explain anything else?

>>76447619
kek sure, let's just equate navigating social etiquette to giving a woman an involuntary abortion

>thread about drinking alcohol
>tech retards hijack it to talk incessantly about tech
i honestly dont think theres a more insufferable industry or group of people on the planet.

>>76447558
>most companies are using it to save a lot of money
lmao, u mean those automated checkout lines that still require people to scan the items and a worker to be there to provide assistance? those automated things where it helps improve theft?

>>76447632
The thread is dead anon. I don't know how the conversation lead to talking about normies not following internet trends but there is nothing left to talk about.

>>76447632
they work for a really incredible website that improves the world, idiot

>>76447632
woa calm down a bit retard anon. you can still talk about being an alcoholic if you want

>>76447635
stay in denial. things change constantly and you either keep up with it or are left behind

>>76447650
yea and im sure the newest tiktok trends is responsible for all this, right? the latest news on some internet influencer losing all of their aura is surely revolutionizing the automation

>>76447598
thankfully I'm a forever alone virgin so never have to worry about any of that

>>76447639
it lead to that because some tech faggot needed to compare the situation to working in tech, like all those gay tech faggots do, shoehorning their gay faggot industry into every conversation.
>yeah im in tech and they dont talk about this, we all just talk about real estate and investments because we are all so rich

>>76447691
No it lead to that because the topic was about actual adults not being like children following internet memes. Calm down a bit autistic anon

>>76447694
>could have said "adults at my work dont keep up with kid stuff"
>instead its "i work in tech, people in tech dont talk about that stuff, we all talk about our real estate and huge investment portfolios"

>>76446787 (OP)
>Why is this so impossibly hard?
Because alcohol is as old as human culture. Our society has built on and work with it. It's everywherem tolerated and culturally built in so much more sensory stimulated than any other drugs.If you are from Eastern Europe the case is 3 times harder.

>>76447652
you seem autistic
it's about being multilingual. old people have wisdom. to have a conversation with old people, you need to know about old people's topics.
young people also have a lot to offer. they're not stupid, they're just young, but they're the people who are most up to date with the current advancements in technology, software and culture. to be in touch with that very valuable knowledge, you need to share their language and be in constant conversation with them

you don't deal only with people in your same demographic group if you want to stay relevant. you deal with people in every demographic group around you and, ideally, in the world. and that includes the latest tiktok trends. it's the way people communicate

>>76446787 (OP)
I have never once told someone I don't drink and had them do anything but say "ok" do you not socialize with non retards?

I work in porn and the drinking culture is deep.
5'1" blasian girls downing vodka shots when lunch arrives, mgmt ordering margherita carts for the support team when the server goes down, etc.
The nice thing is people in porn have already seen it all, they don't care if you drink with them

If you're a faggot just get a soda and lime.

>>76447738
it aint that deep nigga, internet memes dont influence shit other than your childlike brain.

>>76446839
It's a simple fact that when people are drinking specifically to get drunk and have a good time, having a sober person in the group feels weird. Even if they know the guy isn't looking down on them, it's awkward and hurts the vibe. And from the sober person's perspective, why would he want to be the one normal guy around a bunch of loud drunks? People don't even have to rotate designated drivers today with ridesharing apps and public transit.
OP is too autistic to get this. He probably never goes out and has never been in this scenario.

>>76446787 (OP)

If you can't entertain her sober then you shouldn't use alcohol as a crutch
drunk women are sloppy and disgusting

How fucking old are you that you're embarrassed to say no to a known carcinogen and toxin? You're all clearly high schoolers lmao. A grown fucking man has no issue with not drinking if they don't want to, and other adults either do not care or will commend you on it. If you're hanging out with people who want or need you to drink then that's a whole other story and a you issue.

>>76446787 (OP)
Many reasons:
>having some degree of alcoholism
You need to avoid all scenarios or people that make you wanna drink
>giving in to social preasure
You need to work your assertiveness. Many people manage to be with people that drink without consuming alcohol, and so can you.
>if I don't drink people will think I'm a bore
Like most people that regulary drink, you have insecurities you need to address. Stop giving a fuck about what others think of you is a good start.
>I just find it fun and can't live without it
You have an addiction. First admit it and then see point number 1

>>76446787 (OP)
npcs who numb themselves through life take it as an insult. "i'm better than you so i don't drink".
obviously i am better than them, but i didn't mean to show it or insult everyone. if they hadn't been invasive with this behaviour, the negative interaction would have never happened.

>>76446787 (OP)
believe me, when the majority in a group doesn't drink this flips the other way around,
then you look like a retarded alcoholic if you insist people should drink

>>76446813
Bullshit. There are plenty of people who don't drink. Probably 20% of the people at any given office or workplace don't drink.
In the last 20 years or so it's much more normal and acceptable to decline alcohol. And if you're in some social circle where absolutely everyone drinks and it's a big part of your lives, you may want to look at your life. I assure you, outside of your bubble it's not as common as you imagine.
You can't tell me every single person for the office goes out for that drink and does drink alcohol. Statistically almost impossible. Some vocations may attract drinkers more, so that's where it might happen; some awful factory work or restaurant work or fishing boats, or something fuckups are drawn to where you need to drink after to deal with the depression of it.
I used to suck 'em down when I was in my late teens until my mid thirties. More and more of us have given it up as we've matured. When I was 19 I'd have told you everyone drinks and it's weird not to, but I wasn't looking around beyond what I was doing. I ran with other drinkers and worked with them. Thinking back there was always someone who didn't go out with us.
Maybe in some european countries it's considered "an insult" not to take a drink, but in the USA it's been such a problem for so long here that it's understood everywhere that you don't pressure people.
The whole "I don't trust a man who doesn't drink" shit is just fucking silly and stupid. Perhaps from an age where there wasn't binge drinking and drunk driving. But since there's been booze there's been problems with booze. That's a fact going back to before the bible.

>>76446823
This was sort of my story. Except I'm outgoing without the sauce. Booze just made me extra sociable and fun. But once the blackouts and the darkside emerged I had to hang it up. I mean, I drank alone for a few years to contain it, but I still lost friends just because of drunk dialing and awful things said. At least the physical damage and lost stuff was contained to home and no one witnessed it.
But I caused so many fucking scenes before I realized I had to keep my drinking in the closet. And then it was just destroying my body and making me sick. I'm so fortunate I was able to get by on weed. I lost weight and got my life together after getting off booze.

>>76446813
Bro nobody fucking cares if you drink water all night.

>you do it to seem normal
Dyelspeak

>>76446787 (OP)
because when you stop drinking you usually need to replace your free time spent lowering your IQ with other people who like doing this same thing and calling it a 'hobby' once in awhile

you'll also find some people are awfully boring

I just tell them I'm on antibiotics/meds for something minor and that they don't mix with alcohol.
Lowers the chance some dickwad will slip something into your drink to "loosen you up" and doesn't make people get weird around you like saying "I'm sober" would

>>76446848
No one fucking said 'kids don't drink now'. Do you extremists have to turn every post into what you need it to be to argue with it? Fuck off. It's always some absolute with you people.

>>76446787 (OP)
Society doesn't function without alcohol

>>76446967
I have been sober for years and have never experienced that. People are perfectly fine with it. I get invited to bars, to houses where people are smoking and drinking, to UFC watch parties, to events, and I just abstain. I can count on one hand the weird people I encountered like a Zionist who really wanted me to know how much he disliked Palestinians who insisted he get my number so we could get fucked up together with his friends.

If prompted I tell people it's because it affects my BJJ negatively. But the reality is it's a lot of calories, I'm prone to psychological breaks with reality, and I don't ever want to fuck with drinking and driving even a little bit.

>>76447313
That's because you're being stupid and going to drinking gatherings with drunks still. I don't know what kind of immature assholes would know you're in recovery and still try and get you to get off the wagon. That's real ignorant mean shit. And it's not normal at all. Stop going into bars sober. Stop going to drunken barbecues with your old drinking pals. Anyone who doesn't understand alcoholism isn't your friend.

>>76447558
A.I. doesn't do anything that I respect. It doesn't do anything that could help me. I've tested it out and found glaring errors in everything. I can't believe someone would trust it to write a term paper or something.

>>76447592
That's not normal. It's cruel and stupid.

>>76447598
That's bullshit. She will not think you're a predator for choosing not to drink. You're driving. You're responsible. If you think the woman is going to not respect you or suspect you for not drinking you wouldn't want that woman anyway. Women who want to get loaded on a date; red flag.

>>76446797
Fuck these social bucket crabs. Be the weirdo. You get what they get if you do what they do. I wish I had never drank or smoked. People are not all cut from the same cloth. Some people are denim, some people are linen.

>>76446797
I just say I only drink if I intend to drive.
Drinking on the couch or at home is incredibly boring and absolutely not worth the negative effects.

I never drink a lot if i socialise. usually just one drink.

I do need either alcohol or weed once every couple of weeks or once a month to calm my mind. I get a very uneasy feeling if i don't. i used to drink myself silly, so nowadays i just keep it to three beers or two glasses of liqour. Or half a joint. I feel like i have a very healthy relationship with both right now because i do it so infrequent and less intense than in my 20s

>>76447239

When you stop worrying about what she might think, you'll enjoy your life.
Stop thinking in terms of possible consequences from making your own, harmless choices.

Stop living a life dedicated to approval from some theoretical 3rd party

>>76448208
why is it so "autistic" and "awkward" to still want to be social but also not drink literal poison? I think others are free to do whatever they want with their health, all of the judgement comes from alcoholics and not from people that refuse to drink

I prefer pepis

>>76446787 (OP)
I should stay in, get an early night, get up tomorrow (Sat) morning and work out. But I'm already feeling the pull of the local shop...might pop out and get a small bottle of whiskey and some Coke...

I used alcohol as a crutch to make myself open up and be more sociable but I'm in my 30s now and it just makes me sleepy. If I want to party I have a red bull or something instead.

>>76446823
Your friends should placebo you so you don't do that shit but can still be sociable

Idk what it is about people not understanding that I just don't feel like drinking sometimes. Mind you these people have seen me drunk numerous times, but somehow can't wrap their head around not drinking at every available chance. Its somehow the polar opposite with coke where if I say no theyll drop it immediately or get salty like I think I'm better than them. No I just don't feel like it leave me the fuck alone.

>>76453113
They are very immature and it makes them uncomfortable to see someone not being self-destructive, someone in control of their night. It subconsciously makes them confront their own issues with alcohol, so they pressure you into joining them. It's not about you, it's about them. Misery loves company. In their mind it's unheard of to NOT drink. Why wouldn't you want to be drunk and happy? What's wrong with YOU?
I used to be one of those people too. My life revolved around going barhopping and getting gloriously wasted with my group. We worked hard and every night we toured around the bars and drank and smoked and laughed and fell down, like 6 or 7 nights a week. If one of us were to be there not drinking I'd absolutely wonder what the fuck was wrong with them.

Looking back on that time of my life I'm embarrassed and ashamed of my behavior. That's what people saw of me for years. I wasted so much of my life. It's never too late to change your ways. Part of me wishes I could enjoy moderated drinking through my 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. But it's not in the cards for me. I was a sprinter, and I had a career-ending injury. If I was a cross country jogger it would be very different. The times would not have been as wild. And I'd still be sipping beers right now probably. I don't do anything that way. I'm 100% pedal to the metal.

They aren't enjoying that. They just can't stop.

I don’t drink because alcoholic beverages taste disgusting, you only ever taste the ethanol, nothing else

What's stupid is not being able to say no. Everyone should have some self accountability for themselves past a certain age.

Funny how you freaks tie spiritualism into sobriety when all the best cults from ancient times and beyond feature ritual inebriation

4chan?

I've been out of a job since mid June. I realized I'd been in a depression for years before that. I started drinking a lot more and stopped caring for now. I'm not gonna kill myself or anything, though I am at a pretty low point right now. Liquor doesn't fix anything, but it does numb me and helps me cope with being a failure.

It’s a token that you’re rejecting and that carries meaning.

If you were in Eastern Europe, hard alcohol is basically a currency,the issue at least for me is always the ANON WHY AREN'T YOU EATING THAT 3000 CALORIE FOOD I JUST COOKED YOU BARELY EVEN TOUCHED IT....Even if I eat and chew slow as fuck it's like the only thing they notice is you taking more food and at that point it switches mentally to "this motherfucker eats all our food"
