Although I do like to drink, I never got drunk, do not intend to do so and do not touch alchool before getting behind the wheel.
That being said, you may order one single drink (a weak one, even) and keep it all night. Or there are lots of non-alcoholic beverages that look like the real deal, if the social pressure becomes too great.
As for how to respond, I have two basic answers I use.
"I like to keep my senses sharp and my mind clear". This is the one I use with most people.
"I do not need chemical crutches in order to have fun". Alpha jerk answer, I use this one on people who drink a lot and tend to get on my nerves when they do.
Or, the high risk, high reward "Nah, I'd rather get YOU drunk and take advantage of you".
Nice! And I'm finding that if I go out to drink and have an opp with some honeys, I game is WAY off. I do have one to loosen up (shut the filters off). Inevitably, I go somewhere and have one, then another, and another... Then the babes show up. Doh! I'm not drunk but my mental reflexes are shot.
So, yours is good advice: Out to meet and PU -- don't drink or drink little. Out to drink -- go easy on the women.
