Party and have fun without alcohol

You've been invited to your best mate's bachelor party.  You're in the night-club and tequilla shots have been ordered for each and every party-goer, including you.  What do you do?

Or maybe you've recently discovered you're pregnant.  You're delighted but not ready to announce this to the world.  You're at a work social and offered a glass of wine by your boss.  What do you do?

In the West, there is an assumption that drinking is a necessary part of our lives, and a party is not real unless a bottle or three of champagne is popped. The drinking culture can be hard to handle if you're trying to cut down or stop drinking alcohol, or even if you just the driver for the night.

Just how tough is it to have fun without alcohol?

But how tough it is depends heavily on your own assumptions about alcohol. Contrary to popular belief, research [1] shows that, although alcohol has measurable physiological effects, people's responses to drinking are very largely shaped by what they expect to happen. Study participants given 'fake' vodka and tonic drinks in a bar-room setting displayed all the signs of becoming inebriated.

And if you think you're missing out by not drinking, or making an excessive sacrifice, the party spirit is going to pass right by. If you could just forget about it, and somehow get the buzz without the hangover, that would be a clever trick to pull off.

So can you a) change your expectations and b) forget about the issue? Answer: Yes.
