i ve decided to give up alcohol because i dont like hangovers and the morning after, but i know it gives some guys confidence so is it good or bad?

In your case it's bad.

I know it makes me sound like a big fat hypocrite, but you shouldn't drink. And when I say "you," I mean YOU, specifically. Why? It's because you see alcohol as one of two things:

1. Something that gives you a hangover and makes you feel like shit.
2. Something that supposedly boosts your "confidence."

If that's all alcohol is to you, you should DEFINITELY stay away from it... ESPECIALLY if you use it as a confidence crutch. NEVER use crutches. And don't give me that training wheels analogy bullshit, either.

I think that maybe getting a drink or two one the first one or two nights out is ok. Alcohol abuse is what gives you false courage after all. A drink or two might help you relax for the first time so it makes it easier for you.

But generally stay away from alcohol. I noticed 3 big downsides (additionally to the hangover).

1. You tend to forget things under alcohol influence. And there goes the nice routine down the drain.
2. Too much alcohol generates a different behavior for most people. Some people are able to control themselves, but it doesn't matter. People usually notice when somebody else is drunk. And that is DLV.
3. Simply because it's harder to analyze your mistakes afterwards and learn from them. When you are sober, you emotions trigger certain circuits in your brain that allow you to learn faster. If you are under alcohol influence, you will notice how much harder it is not to repeat the same mistakes over and over since your mind and body isn't properly learning what you should be doing.

Hope that helps. I'm making a drastic cutback on alcohol myself. Each time I want to take a drink, I think of these 4 things. Well, actually only about the 3 I mentioned, I never really minded the hangover since I usually had a great time the night before. And then the universe was back in balance. xD

Getting Tipsy as a Pua is fine but being drunk only improves your game if your an AFC.

How much cooler would it be though if you didn't need any crutch at all like chief said, if "YOU" were the only ingredient you needed for success with women. No strings attactched no illusions no crutches and no expenses. Seems like the better option to me

These guys got it right. Leave the alcohol alone, and be naturally confident.

Choose a day of the week to drink with your buddies.

Don't drink when interacting with women.

If you use alcohol as a shell around your confidence you'll never improve.

But drink once a week with buddies if you enjoy it so you keep your mind sane.

I don't really feel the need of drinking since i'm now all into health and fitness.

In any situation where other people are drinking, have a casual drink

Casual drinking is you simply enjoying the alcohol, the flavor of the drink, the texture, like you'd savor a good steak

Do not drink hard. It puts game off and makes you look like a complete AFC, but if you just drink casually you don't look out of place in a bar/club/party.

Even better, have an interesting and unique drink, its a great springboard for conversation. Instead of downing 4 bargain brands beers, drink a craft brew or a unique import. Instead of endless shots, get a good mixed drink to sip on.

In short, alcohol is not "Bad" unless you abuse it.

Everything in moderation.

Confidence is one thing I dont have a problem with. But if Im going out with friends, yeah i will be having a few drinks. Maybe 1, maybe 6.

I will only drink just enough to get that happy buzz, Ive had enough of stupid drinking haha

I get hated on a lot for this mentality, but if you're sober and she's not as sober, you have the advantage of clear, controllable thought. And the previously mentioned "she" has had her judgment chemically altered in your favor. That's why I never drink if I plan on picking up ladies.

a drink or two is ok but too muck alco is bad
