Alternatives
to Drinking
Often
times in college, we find ourselves surrounded by alcohol. Whether it’s at a
party or just a few friends, peer pressure can often make us feel like we have
to drink. It makes us feel like we may not be “cool” or accepted. Well, I’m
here to tell you that there are other ways to have fun and party without really
drinking.
1 Mocktails
– Mocktails are a
delicious alternative to actually consuming alcohol. You still get the fancy
drink, without the burn or negative effects of consuming alcohol. There are
hundreds of recipes online, or if you know of some, make it and just cut out
the alcohol.
2 “Drinking”
Games – Drinking games
are one of the biggest ways you can binge drink, but they’re just so fun! Try
replacing the “beer” in Beer Pong with juice, soda, or even water!

3 Throw
Your Own Parties – This
one is probably the easiest way to avoid drinking. If you find yourself sick
and tired of being the DD for your friends, or you just hate being that person
who has to hold someone’s hair while the projectile vomit, throw your own
alcohol-free parties. Make some mocktails, play some “drinking” games and you
and your friends will have a blast!
If
none of these interest you, and you still choose to drink, that’s fine. Just
make sure you are 21 years of age or older, and that you do it safely. Binge
drinking never ends well, whether you wake up with a major hang over, or leave three sad voice-mails to your ex,
something will go wrong. Even if you do drink, make sure you try out these
three awesome alternatives to drinking.
