Alternatives to booze

[ANT]

I want to give up booze, but what can I drink in a pub?(Remamber I'm a bloke so I don't want something girly)

[Doolallygirl]

Orange juice, coke, lemonade....all too girly? Coffee, tea, milk... all served 11-11 in my local. Or you could see if they do the non-alcoholic beers when you get to the bar? A non-alcoholic cocktail (like a Shirley Temple) would look girly too so bit short on suggestions here! Why not just half a pint of shandy instead of a full pint of beer if you drink beer rather than cutting it all out. Or just don't go to the pub.

Fentimans Ginger Beer - comes in a manly bottle, tastes great and is in fact ever so slightly alcoholic due to the natural breweing process (less then 0.5%).

To be honest I have not seen it for sale in a pub recently but I know Sainsbury's sell it (99p per bottle near the Snapple and iced tea)

I regularly go to the pub to socialise with my friends and I very often drive there a) because I'm skint and b) because I don't want to make a total t*t of myself when I get drunk and I'm never bored when sober! It's always so much fun laughing at what big hangovers everyone will have except you tomorrow and how much better off I am that I didn't drink because I will have saved that little bit more money to pay off my debts!

A lot of boys I know drink orange juice and lemonade and my boy has no qualms about ordering a pint of orange squash. Otherwise there's britvic 55 which is fizzy orange of fizzy apple, J20 which i don't think is girly - what IS girly is a bloke drinking smirnoff ice bacardi breezers or Kaliber. yuk. Good on you though.

I drink lemonade with lemon in it because everything else tastes so sweet to me. I only go into pubs to play darts and euchre, sad old geezer that I am lol, like ansteyg if I'm just sitting in one by 9 o'clock the conversation isn't exactly inspiring and I'm bored stiff

[Ouisch]

Club soda with a wedge of lime, or club soda and orange juice.

[Dark Angel]

Bacardi Breezers.
