Sober Truths

It can be tough to socialize with people when they're getting wasted and you're not. Sometimes, you may have to go home early to get away from heavily drinking partygoers, or stay away from the bash altogether. But if you are in the mood to hang out, here's what to do so you don't feel pressured to get plastered. Obviously, the simplest thing to do is to tell anyone who cares to ask that you aren't drinking. However, if you can't handle that, be as creative as you want to be with excuses. Here are some alternatives:

"No thanks. The last time I did shots I puked up colors you've never even seen before."

"I'd love to, but I have a bet with someone to see how long I can go without drinking."

"I don't drink."

"You should have seen me last night, man. Then you would know why I'm not drinking."

"I'm taking the night off."

"Beer has too may calories."

"I really can't. I have a huge test tomorrow."
