Socializing Activities Which Don't Involve Alcohol

This can be a difficult topic. Drinking and socializing are an ingrained part of Western culture. Many of us have probably seen the effects of heavy drinking firsthand. However, I believe it's possible to go out with friends and clients without the use of alcohol. To those who may think this is "weird" or too limiting, I would ask you to think about your own thoughts around alcohol. Are you limited in any way, or does it not hurt anyone? These are things we should ask ourselves when determining what types of activities we participate in.

You're young, and you want to socialize, but you don't drink. You're not alone. In fact, there are many people who want to go out and do things without alcohol. Whether it's because they have a medical condition that makes it difficult for them to metabolize alcohol, goes against their religion or because they just don't like the taste of it, there is a whole world of fun waiting for you! And you don't have to spend your time just sitting at home. Here are some ideas for socializing activities that don't involve alcohol:

1) Coffee Meetup

Coffee meetups are some of the best activities for non-drinkers. It puts you in an environment where you’re surrounded by people that don’t drink, and you can chat about anything and everything. They’re great for meeting new people, and they’re a low-key way to have a really good time. While you’re at it, you can also try some new coffee shop drinks, like iced coffee or espresso.

2) Hiking

Hiking in the mountains is a great way to socialize without alcohol. You can go on a hike with your friends, and there’s no alcohol in sight! You’ll be surrounded by nature, you’ll get some fresh air, and you can even do some damage control on that skin of yours. Go on a hike at a local mountain, or venture a little further out if you’re feeling adventurous.

3) Window Shopping

You can easily spend an entire evening going window shopping with your friends. It’s a really low-key activity that doesn’t require too much energy. You won’t be running around like a madman, and you can still have a great time socializing and chatting with your friends. You can take the group to a few stores that you like, or you can just walk around the shopping district for a while.

4) Board games night

There’s no better way to chill out with your friends than to host a board game night. You can play games like Jenga, trivia, or even Cards Against Humanity! Or, you can even just have a chill evening where everyone brings a game that they love. This is a great activity to do with friends of all ages, too. You may also want to stock up on snacks and drinks so that everyone has plenty to eat and drink throughout the evening

5) Bowling

Bowling is a fantastic non-alcoholic activity that your friends will love. You can go with a group of friends, or you can even host a team-building event at a bowling alley. Bowling is a fun, competitive activity that’s great for all ages, and you can even drink soda while you’re at it. Some bowling alleys also sell food and drinks, so you can easily snack while you bowl.
