What are some alternatives to consuming alcohol at parties or other social events?

What are some other things I can do or ways to avoid alcohol with out people thinking I'm a lame dork? Is there a way to consume a minimal amount of alcohol without being noticeable?

    A relatively easy method is to obtain a beer in a bottle, drink or pour most of it out (if you choose to drink it, you can easily get away with sipping the same beer for most of the night), then take shots... It's not the coolest thing to do, but you can pretend to chase the shots with a sip of beer... but instead spit the shot into the beer bottle. This has been covered, I believe, in the movie Coyote Ugly lol.

    Give it a try - or simply make yourself a mixed drink and go light on the alcohol... Crown(Royal) and Coke is a favorite for doing this, as Crown has a relatively strong smell, which means it won't take much in a glass of Coke to make it smell quite strong. Just be sure to pour the alcohol in second, and not to shake or stir it too much... This keeps most of the scent on top - a straw will let you drink the bottom out from under a good bit of the alcohol, at which point you can toss the drink, claiming it's watered down - be sure to use plenty of ice. Hope this helps, and good for you for trying to keep your wits about you while everyone else gets dumb!

    Arrive a little late or come in drinking a Coca-Cola or something like that. People will not think as much of it if you are still sipping a bottle of cola etc. when you come in, they will merely think you are trying to finish what you have in your hand. Wait until the other people have had two or more drinks. After this point, they will not care how much you are drinking!

    Drink non-alcoholic beer. In a cup, it

    looks the same as the real stuff.

    Absolutely. Try ecstasy, LSD, marijuana. These drugs are documented and well known to be less harmful to the human body than alcohol. However, they may be illegal in your jurisdiction.

    However, if you do want to drink, do it in moderation. Drink spacers - after every alcoholic drink, have one or two drinks of water
