For those of you who don't drink alcohol, what does your social life consist of?

A lot of it's boring.
Finally, one of my mates has stopped inviting me out for "drinks and a dance" because that inevitably means nasty Wetherspoons pitcher cocktails, bars-with-dancefloors full of hen night groups (they /scare/ me, and I'm a fellow woman) and gropey men, only to get 'tired' and go home early before even hitting a club that might be good... Despite her never wanting to go to the ones that actually have some musical merit (varying reasons include "it smells", "I don't like the bar staff", "you /never/ want to do what I like" - no, because we always do what you want)... Woohoo!

I rarely drink any more, as I live in the sticks and have to drive, and actually quite enjoy a sober night out! If you just "let go" and don't go out with a load of ***** it can be a really good laugh.
Other than that, play sport. Lots of sport!

Not really, not everyone likes the taste
My girlfriend can apparently just 'taste' the alcohol, so just hates pretty much everything
...well, yes everything.

I love drinking, its awesome, got the Peterborough Beer Fest to do this Thursday, got the day off work and there are hundreds of real ales to choose from, gotta catch them all

This is my life choice and I say be damned to anyone who challenges me on it!
Grrr.

I enjoy drinking. Pretty much every Friday night through to Saturday night I've spent the entire time at my friend's house drinking.
On the other hand though, I can go and spend the time sober as well and don't feel excluded in any way. I just like the taste of alcohol.
I do feel a bit guilty though, as I'm so tired on the Sunday from staying up the previous night that I can't really do much!

I go out a lot of friday nights without drinking due to often having to work the next day.... I find how much I enjoy it very much depends on the company. In general I find girls a lot easier to tolerate than guys when I'm sober, and so tend to stick with them.
quite easily....
social life doesn't suffer because you don't like alcohol/can't drink it....
J20 with lemonade is fine, cokes/lemonades get a bit boring/bland
can do the dvd routine definately, but also cinema, bowling, wii gaming,
gym/sports clubs are easy to build up social circles, do a part time college course, another social thing that takes you out of house and you learni something from it too
Can you drink GBL? It's essentially the same as alcohol but without the toxicity, I don't drink alcohol either because of the taste.
Not much really, don't really go to clubs anymore, spend just as much time at the pub playing pool and drinking squash though so it hasn't varied much. I tend to miss going to parties and such though as when everyone is hammered and your not, it's not much fun
