5 Ways to Have Fun Without Involving Alcohol

In This Article:

Everyone knows how much alcoholism has been glorified to death, especially in recent years, but the glorification can lead to how everyone sees alcohol in the long run. Many people will think that it is impossible to have fun without having to involve alcohol in any way, but in reality, that is far from the truth. There are so many ways lots of people, even adults, can have fun without having to drink a single glass of an alcoholic drink. These are only five of those ways, but there are lots of other ways people can have fun without having to drink alcohol.

1. See a Movie

What can be more classic and relaxing than seeing a movie in theatres? You can go alone or with a few friends; either way it is still a lot of fun. Plus, getting the chance to see a new movie when it is still in theatres can be a treat within itself (as long as someone did not spoil it for you in the first place).

2. Go to a Concert or Festival

Concerts and festivals can be mad expensive, but they are still a great way to have fun when you are able to get tickets. Seeing some of your favorite artists performing together live can be one of the most exhilarating feelings anyone can ever have during their young lives. Since most festivals are in the summer, and summer is when everyone has the most free time, it can be a great combo.

3. Have Dinner With Some Old Friends

What can be a better social gathering than going out to eat with a couple of old friends? Not only you can have some great food (maybe even try some new foods at a place you have never been to before), but you can catch up with old friends you have not seen in a long time.

4. Find a Hobby or Take a Class

If something makes you happy, you are having fun already. A hobby can be very helpful for self care and you can have fun doing it too. And if you want to learn how to do something, you can take an affordable class so you can learn how to do it and perfect your skills in that particular hobby.

5. Go to a Coffee or Dessert Shop

Who does not love to go to coffee shops or dessert shops? Everybody loves sweets or coffee, so that alone makes it fun within itself. There are many coffee and dessert shops that are local and can feel pretty homey, so finding a new dessert or coffee shop can be one of the best ways you can have some fun.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
