5 Ways to Have Fun Without Involving Alcohol

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
