Sure, you like to have a good time! But every time you wake up sprawled on the bathroom floor you realise that you need to stop drinking so much. But then you remember the friends chanting, “chug, chug, chug, chug” and others saying, “Ab aisa karega/karegi tu?” and you start to wonder how will you ever stop? Here are some ideas:
- Carry A Cup
Nope.
Fill your cup/glass with anything and people drinking booze will simply assume you’re doing the same. If you have been drinking and don’t want to drink any more, just carry your drink around and pretend to take sips.
TIP: Don’t forget to refill on ice.
- Buddy System
You’ll appreciate the help.
Tell the friends you’re attending the party with that you don’t want to drink. They’ll watch out for you and help you stay on track.
- Use the DD
Welcome responsibility.
Plan or claim to be the designated driver. A non-negotiable excuse for not drinking and you get to tell your friends they owe you one.
- Play Hop (or say so)
GO!
If you don’t want to drink anymore, lie. Say you have another party to go to. You’ll sound way cooler and also have an excuse to leave if you really don’t want to stay. Play on this as an excuse in case you’re more dressed up than the rest, they’ll just assume you have a bigger party to attend.
- The Rockstar Experience
Move it.
Take inspiration from one of our finest Bollywood movies, Rockstar. The movie shows the protagonist sprinkling alcohol on himself to smell like he’s been drinking and dancing like the rest of the crowd. No one notices he isn’t drunk.
