buybuybuyBy getting laid. Next question.
^ THIS THIS THIS

Just talk to people, make friends, and get out while your hearing is intact.

Get busy living
 

1) Even if you're not drunk, you can get into a drunk "mindset"

2) Dancing with hot chicks is fun. The alcohol is only really necessary to make dancing with ugly chicks as fun

3) If you're with good enough friends, they should make the experience fun for you

4) You can always sit down and talk to the other people taking a break from the dance floor. Or you could try get into the VIP room/sit down at somebody else's table

5) You can laugh at people acting stupid when drunk

 
jack_donaghyI drink club soda and lime.... Looks like a mixed drink without the bar tab and hangover. If you need drinks to have fun, that says something more about you.
If you need to manufacture the illusion that you are drinking a mixed drink, that says something more about you.
My name is Nicky, but you can call me Dre.
