Is it a good idea to go to a strip club if I don't drink alcohol?
It will vary from club to club. At most, if you let them know you are the designated driver, they won't hassle you about drinks. Some clubs may have a 2 drink minimum, but it doesn't have to be an alcoholic drink - it could be soda or juice - it'll just be a really expensive soda or juice. Whether the club offers alcohol will vary depending upon the type of strippers. Most fully nude clubs don't offer alcohol in that showroom. There is a separate bar for drinking. Only non-alcoholic drinks will be availabable in fully nude showroom. Alcohol is allowed in places where the girls are topless (or not otherwise fully nude).
I like drinking my own blood, does this make me strange?
I just love the taste of it, i could drink a glass if i could. It just tastes so nice, Do u think they should start selling it in pubs, cz i think a lot of people would feel the same as me.
Drinking alone. Is it weird?
I'm not really a drinker. I've never been drunk. I'm going to college this fall and would like to know what's up in terms of alcohol before I get there. You always hear that its really bad to drink alone because it means you're an alcoholic or whatever. Is it a bad idea to get drunk my first time by myself? I'd kind of like to know what I'm gunna act like before I'm drunk around a ton of people. Thanks.
Is it considered odd in Australia to go to a pub alone, with no intention of meeting anyone?
It is sufficiently common to have slang terms associated with the practice.‘Drinking with the flies’ is one such expression.I’m reminded of a cartoon of a guy having a beer by himself in an outback pub, where there’s no shortage of flies, and telling the barman “I don’t mind drinking with the flies, sport, but I’d like a separate glass.”A ‘Jimmy Woodser’ is another:The Old Jimmy WoodserBeing on your Pat Malone, or just on your Pat, is more general, but can be applied to those drinking in a pub by themselves.For those thinking it might be a bit odd, it is actually a recognized treatment for certain ailments. I found that sitting in an air-conditioned bar and having a quiet beer (or two) stopped all my hayfever symptoms. But I could never get my doctor to write me a prescription for it. Pity.
Is it weird if I go out and eat alone at a restaurant? A lot of my friends are in relationships, so they don't go out much anymore. I’m single. This will be my first time going out alone. I may be able to socialise with others who are also single.
Yeah, that’s super-weird. (Kidding!)I always bring something to read (since I always read while I eat) but you could also stream a movie or whatever you like to do while you eat. Or , sit near a window and people-watch.The first few times I ate out alone, something about it made me feel incredibly sophisticated :-). I think it was because I was traveling in a different city, and had my World Traveler cap on (that’s a metaphor, before anybody comments to ask me where to purchase the cap).If you drink, have a glass of wine or a beer! That will definitely help you relax AND will make the meal more festive.The BEST time I ever had was touring Asheville North Carolina by myself while my (former) husband was taking a two-day class. I went to all the downtown shops and had lunch with wine by myself in a cool outdoor cafe.The next day, I toured the Biltmore by myself, ate lunch in the converted stable made into a restaurant, and even did the wine-tasting tour by myself. I totally lost my rental car in the enormous parking lot of the Biltmore (have never seen so many gray Nissan Altimas in my life :-)) but that was the only awkward part of my entire stay.People tend to talk to you when you’re alone, so decide beforehand if you’re open to chit-chatting with people around you or if you’d rather bury your head in a book. Be really nice to the server (I think it’s true they see a person alone and think “crappy tip :-)), and be sure to leave a good tip.Edited to add: I’ve only been posting on Quora for about a month or so. Up until 6/5/2018, many of my (very random :-)) posts were getting thousands and thousands of views. On 6/5 I wrote a controversial post about the need for video recording patient care. The post started to go viral with about 1300 posts in about an hour, then suddenly everything stopped.From then on, views have just trickled in on my controversial posts. If you compare the number of views on the posts I wrote prior to 6/5, to the number of views on the posts I wrote after 6/5, you can definitely see the difference. So please Follow me or go to my Profile to read my posts, as you may not find them in your feed. Thanks!
My boyfriend likes to go to the bars himself. He isn't meeting anyone (that I know of) Is this normal?
Probably once a week, my boyfriend will go out without me. It isnt that I am not invited (for the most part) but that he wants to go out and I do not. He does not have many friends in the area, so he goes to the local bars himself. I think this is very strange. I do not know anyone else who would want to do this. Except for the bartenders who he knows a bit from going there often, he doesnt know anyone else in the bars. Sometimes, he comes back with stories about meeting people at the bar and going to a different bar with them for a bit. He is always home before 130am. Is this something normal? or is there something I should be concerned with? It really bothers me and although i have made it pretty clear that I think it is odd, it doesnt deter him from doing it.
Is it fine to go to a London Pub alone?
Yes it's the same as any big city. You can go to the pub and sit there all night and no one will talk to you, especially if you have your nose buried in a book or tablet. However if you make an effort you can make friends fairly easily. Try and find a pub with activities e.g. Pool, Darts, Quizes etc. have a go even though you might not be any good. If you stand at the bar you will have a better chance of meeting people than sitting on your own at a table. Don't forget social networking. Post a status update or tweet "is anyone up for meeting for a drink in London?". You may get a few takers!Good luck.
How can men drink at the bar alone? In normal bars, you don’t have the privacy for thinking by yourself.
I often do it.I like bars ;)I like people watching,I like the ambience. Oh, and I like a drink.If I am on a business trip on my own I will go to a bar.INFINITELY Preferable to sitting in hotel room watching TV, being lonely, or drinking ($$$$) from mini-barIt's fun to explore the streets, to see local culture, to try new drinks.(And I usually prefer to get out of the hotel into the real city if possible)Sometimes I'll take my laptop and work, while having a beer & enjoying the hubbubSometimes I'll read a book. Most often I don't talk to people (I'm not doing it to chat anyone up or to make new friends) but it has happened. And I've had some great times as a result (a Korean businessman on his own in San Jose; a mad Austrian girl in Tokyo; a crowd of Irish travellers I fell in with in San Francisco; etc)In fact reading in a bar combines two of my favourite things: beer & books. Expanded into a blog post: Beer & Books by Rupert Baines on Things wot I likedBut not just on business trips. Sometimes even at home I'll go to the pub for a quiet pint: read the paper, enjoy the atmosphere. And, yes, Steve Lynch makes an important point here about being a regular.What is not to like?
