Experiment results - weekend without drinking!

So here are the results of a little experiment I did - out on Friday and Saturday nights until close without drinking
1)I pick up on eye fucking and other ''approach me' signals MUCH MUCH more - when I drink I lose sense of people not in my immediate vicinity - but not drinking I was glancing around more, I felt more receptive
2)People annoyed me much more - so many drunken oafs
3)I could dance for much longer and WASNT TIRED at the end of the night - yep, drinking (beer in particular) makes me tired
4)It's hard to game a drunk girl if you are not
I realise that not everyone on a night out is roaring drunk - and I was better able to connect with moderate drinkers - the night felt REALLY long - but I was really encouraged by all the eye contact I got and the sense that I had control - that I wasnt just trying to 'get lucky'

I did this once, but I took some Valium to be relaxed. Felt really good, had a good time but I didn't want to repeat it because I would get addicted.
The key is to find your drink, learn not to get smashed and enjoy.

Finding the "perfect level of drunkenness" is pretty hard in my opinion. It's a slippery slope when I fall past it, as I internally think I sound like a moron when I am too drunk and become far too "in my head".

Gin is sin.
I always order Bombay on the rocks, or if they don't have Bombay I'll go Tanqueray.
You should try it sometime!

why is it so hard to control yourself a little.
I've built the habit of switching drinks about half way or two thirds through the night.
I go vodka, vodka, vodka..then slowly start adding juice before I start asking for bitters or straight juice.
while all the girls keep pounding the screwdrivers and vodka cranberries...in keeping my buzz and hydrating.
game levels out and I can actively analyze.
in the event some guy out guys get rowdy...I can stand calm
I am the cock carousel

I am trying to cut out drinking as much as i can. Here is my little trick for the night....
I walk up to the bartender and say "hey man looks like I am the designated driver tonight. can you just hook me up with some soda water and a lime please." then give a $5 tip. He will give me free soda water all night.
Soda water has no calories and is fizzy so everyone one else will assume it is a vodka soda or something so no one ever gives you any shit. Has been working great for me, all for $5 a night. Plus it doesn't fuck up my diet or keep me from hitting the gym in the morning.

What works best for me is having a couple of strong drinks before I go out, then ordering a single drink when I get to the bar. I'll drink that drink over about half an hour, then for the rest of the night just order waters. This is enough to keep me in the zone between buzzed and slightly drunk, which I find to be optimal for talking to girls, because you've got enough alcohol in your to be feeling loose, but not enough so that you get sloppy or your mind slows down too much. And since you'll probably be drinking 4-5 waters while still at the bar, there's no hangover the next day.

I have been gaming sober for 20 years!
I don't recommended it. Drinking is fun and helps to drop panties!

This is how i've been gaming for the last 10 years. I go through phases when I won't touch a drop of booze for months on end. When I do drink, i'll stop after a large glass of wine. On the rare occasion that I do get shit faced it's always with a nice bottle of champagne. None of that cristal shit, i'm more partial to krug, dom perignon and some of the smaller houses.

You don't need a DD cover up story or a coke that looks like a rum coke.
No one gives a shit what you drink or if you don't. It's all in your head.

I only drink one or two drinks to loosen up a bit and become more social. After that I usually just drink Coke or water. It's all about striking a balance and whatever it takes to get you in the zone. The more calm and low key a place is the less I need to drink. The more crazy and high energy it is, more I need to drink. Ultimately, you have to raise your energy level to match both the place and girls you are going after. Otherwise, you will feel out of place and uncomfortable and that vibe will come across in your interactions.

I don't like being drunk when I'm out. I prefer to be sharp. I drink enough not to look like a square, and to be social, but short of getting even buzzed, let alone drunk. Don't get me wrong - I've had my moments where we've gotten together and gotten truly torn up, but for the most part, I don't drink to get drunk. I'll have a couple of beers, or a Jack/Rum and Coke or two. That's about it.

Frank Sinatra once said...
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink"
The reporter asked him, "why"?
Frank replied...
"Because when they wake up in the morning, thats the best they are gonna feel all day"
