Bar/Club Game: To Drink Or Not To Drink?



Like many OGs and followers of the science of Game, I'm an advocate of staying sober in bars and clubs if your mission is to procure the company of women.  For some people the idea of going out on the town and not drinking is akin to blasphemy.  I can understand why folks would scoff at the notion of partying sober, but if you want your game to be at it's tightest then I'm a staunch advocate of keeping it clean.


There are several reasons why developing your night game while sober is the best move.  Let me briefly break down some of the top reasons you should switch out your vodka tonic for a glass of Sprite instead.


1.  Drinks are overpriced and you could be using that money on several other things that will benefit your life more than a buzz at a bar or club.  I remember how it used to be when I drank at clubs when I was single versus how it is now that I don't really get my drink on like that.  If you're posted at a more upscale spot, you might be dropping $10 plus for drinks.  If you figure you have 3-4 drinks, that's going to be around $40 in addition to a tip of around $5-$10.  That's assuming you didn't pay a cover, which I'm highly against and which you should not have to ever pay if you pick the right spots and or step your game up and know the right people, bringing your total to around $50.  Times that by at least one night out a week, and you're dropping a minimum of $200 on drinks alone right there.  Imagine if you invested that money, put it in a Roth IRA, used it to upgrade your wardrobe, paid off some credit cards or student loans, or put it in a nice vacation fund so you can take some time out to relax and flex your international game.



2.  Drinks are a crutch, and if your game is tight then you won't need them.  Liquor is literally liquid courage to many guys on the hunt for females.  You see them out, posted on the wall gripping their drink , scared like they're at a junior high sock hop.  After a few drinks most guys tend to loosen up and then start to go in on a few women.  Instead of waiting for that buzz to kick in, just walk in and start gaming immediately.  You don't need liquor to have a good time, and your goal is to attract the fly ladies anyway.  If you play your cards right, you can get your drink on back at your house, where that $50 you saved could buy you a top shelf bottle of something nice you can share with the lady lucky enough to be with you for the evening.  That bottle will last you more than a few episodes as well.  Recession game!



3.  Drinks distort your perception of reality.  Everyone knows about the dreaded beer goggles effect, but think about how those same beers effect your perception of situations at hand. I've seen a few dudes leave the club who must have been wearing Absinthe goggles.  If you have a few drinks in you, that average girl with a somewhat bland personality suddenly starts coming off entirely more interesting than she really is.  Then after you chill with her during the follow up episode while you're sober, you start noticing all the annoying aspects of her personality.  She says like too much, she has an annoying laugh, she runs her mouth, etc, etc.  You're sitting there thinking, "Damn, why the hell was I into this woman?".  Blame it on the liquor.  If you game sober, then you're always minding your P's and Q's and you'll never let alcohol affect your better judgement.  No buyer's remorse for the sober players, plus it's comedy to see how foolish people act in bars/clubs when the majority of them are tipsy and you're not.  Free entertainment.



4.  Getting a DUI is unacceptable.  Not only do a ton of people leave bars/clubs too drunk to drive and in turn put themselves and others at risk, but the possibility of getting a DUI alone should make you chill on the drinking.  Ever been locked up, even for an overnight stay?  I hear it's not a good look, nor is paying attorney fees and substantial fines that will put a dent in your wallet.  Top that off with increased insurance rates, and you've got yourself a screwed up situation.


Now many people will still say, "what's the use in going out if I can't get nice with a few drinks?"  I'm not mad at you if you still want to drink, but a wise man is always up to try something new. If you're wonder about how you'll be perceived if you're not drinking, then just sip a Sprite or something else that looks like it could be liquor and no one will notice.  I suggest you try out sober game and compare your results to when you're gettin' your drink on.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how your game gets tighter and the quality of your women improves as well.


The world is yours.....

Great post. I've never understood why people waste so much money in an attempt to have a good time. If you are comfortable with yourself, you can have just as much fun sober.

Let us not forget this equation:

Liquor + Testosterone = Unnecessary Club Violence.

That equation is correct. There's nothing like being out while trying to have a good time only to have some tough guy try to start something by hitting on your woman or claiming you were trying to mad dog him. It's even worse when you deal with some dude with no game who's been getting shut down all night who hates on you because you're having success with the ladies and he wants to throw salt and be a hater.

This is a good one. I really appreciate this and I am really happy that I came across it.
