How do I go without drinking and still have a social life? How much drinking can I get away with before it seriously kills my gains?
>tfw we live in a hedonistic world where not taking poison to make you lose control of yourself and fuck your body up is seen as antisocial

>having a social life
I bet you have facebook too you fucking cunt
just slowly drink a few beers throughout the night. nobody cares how much you drink anyway.
I drink few beers on saturday, lift mon/wed/fri, no impact at all afaik. Just keep your kalories in check and have a good rest aftewards.
Get new friends.
Once you do this, you'll quickly realize how boring your friends are when drinking is your only group activity.

I only ever drink vodka because I don't particularly enjoy the taste of any alcohol and it's the most efficient way to do get drunk without extra calories.
>>34908124
Do as >>34908070 said. Don't get drunk. Your gains will thank you.

my lil bro used to drink vodka, he did that for a few years and had little to no body fat, then again he was drinking a handle or more a night... I once saw him drink 3/4 of a handle in about 30 minutes without even trying. He doesnt drink anymore though.

ayy
that's why i dropped all my friends because I realized we were only friends since we went to the same high school, social events, drank / did drugs + partied. once i stopped drinking less and doing drugs, the realization that you never even hung out with them outside of partying and getting fucked up hits you and you have nothing in common whatsoever.

And now you don't have any friends at all. Great deal.

i actually moved 300 miles away to a different uni, have new friends with common interests and a gf so things are pretty rad.

So you didn't drop your friends because
>I realized we were only friends since we went to the same high school, social events, drank / did drugs + partied
You had to drop them because you moved away. Stop posting shit my little friend
>>34909256
lol. i dropped them then stopped going out for a year or so and became a loner like you. got my AA then transferred to get out of the city.
don't be so bitter because you're still a NEET
Drinking alcohol isn't really THAT bad. The reason why you shouldn't drink is that you usually miss out on workouts after drinking, you get dehydrated and you usually eat shit for 48 hours after.
If you keep it down to a couple of beers, and remember to drink water and stay on your diet you should be fine

I quit drinking 3 years ago because I realized I had a problem with it. Haven't had a social life since. Haven't had a date since.
I keep telling myself this is better.
>tfw u dont even have friends even though you drink accationally
Drinking is awesome. Listen to what this guy says >>34909406 minus the part about a "few" beers. Get shit faced and hit on girls with your friends. Drink enough water and you'll have no hangover.

I quit drinking because my dumbass blacked out at a party, crashed into a tree while naked and I got away with only a reckless driving because DUI officers weren't available at the scene being that they were too busy since it was Halloween.
That was years ago and my social life has progressed very well. Have had more dates than I can imagine and now have a gf. Socializing doesn't have to involve drinking. The friends you make doesn't need to be through drinking. You can date without having to drink.
It does get better, anon.
You can get wasted once a week

Tips on meeting women? Good non-bar places? I'm an actual retard when it comes to cold approach and if my acquaintances were interested in setting me up they would have done so within the last 34 years.
I don't mind if my partner drinks it really is not an issue for me to be around it. I would actually feel offended and coddled if someone was embarrassed or felt it taboo to drink around me.
Be the DD, everyone will love you for it and want to take you out more.

>34 years

It really depends on how active you are in things outside of your home. Start looking into hobbies and practices that take you outside. For myself, I write and draw/paint a lot, so I'll often be either at a park (for drawing/painting) or at a coffee shop writing on my laptop.
You'll wanna choose a spot with some people around you. Do whatever hobby it is you pick up, and just start talking to people sitting around you. Bear in mind, there's a balance to it since obviously not everyone is there to talk or make friends.
I dunno, just get inventive. Be a self-starter and go for it. If there was one thing sobriety taught me with social skills, it was to just smile and be nice to people. People simply respond to that.
Just for a different view here, i have been drinking a large amount almost every night for a few years. Before anyone gives me a lecture, yes i am aware this can kill me and i have a problem. I do however take a month off of drinking a couple times a year to allow my liver to heal. It can heal from 50 to 100 percent in one month. Anyways. I have been lifting over 2 years now and i have seen significant gains the whole time. I might have been stronger if i hadnt drank, but for the sake of this thread, no, alchohol does not kill gains
Tldr
Alchohol does not kill gains.

>you have to drink until you're completely wasted
what's it like being 17?
Or just don't be a speglord and feel you have to drink to go out or fit in go out get a water with a lemon or lime wedge if you're insecure enough to have to have something in your hand or get one alcohol of your choice and nurse it all night
>>34909237
Nice. Exactly what I want to do.
anon
you don't drink the poison to get social
you drink the poison because society is shit
