Your drinker type
You're The Social Drinker
The room sets your pace, not you.
What The Social Drinker looks like
On your own you barely drink, but the total climbs whenever you are with other people. The pace of the group wins over your own, and the awkwardness of saying no turns straight into volume. You do not have to cut out the occasions — deciding on your first drink and your way of declining in advance is usually what changes the outcome.
Where this type gets stuck
- ! Refills keep arriving and you lose count of what you have had
- ! "While we are here" turns into a second venue, and the next day pays for it
- ! Saying no feels like breaking the mood, so the room wins over your own plan
What tends to work for The Social Drinker
- 1 Decide your limit and the time you are leaving before you head out
- 2 Have two or three ways to decline ready, and say it once when the first round is ordered
- 3 Alternate every drink with water or a soft drink so your hand is never empty
