Colleagues asking me for mid week beer- Grapevine

Title says it all. Most women I encounter these days like to get blackout drunk for some reason. 

Have had to escort quite a few to their homes occasionally too. 

Can't figure out why though, rarely seeing responsible drinkers in my circle and on dating apps. They're either completely teetotallers or heavy drinkers. Rarely in the middle.

Anybody else seeing this too?

Product Owner

Nothing against those who love them. It's just that I would rather like to spend the time with my plans. But often, you don't always have a choice.

Is it just me or office parties don't work for you either?

People drinking every quarter in the name of team bonding :D. how wrong can it be

Sober for 2 years, and my lifestyle hasn't been compromised one bit. I still go to bars with my friends, I even make cocktails for them when they come home. My family drinks, and I just have some random non alcoholic drink to say cheers with. I have no urges for alcohol whatsoever. 

Best decision I've ever made.

After 27 years of an alcohol soaked lifestyle, I quit. Ask my anything!

Founder

I never drink alcohol. So, anytime I go out with my corporate friends. I always listen this argument that you should atleast try once. It’s just for experience. 

I want to know that am I really missing anything? I want to remain pure as long as I can (however I have took some sip due to peer pressure).

Social Drinking ?

It is like a pleasure or achievement to convince someone to have their first drink, for some people. 
  
  
 No, you are not missing. I started drinking in college but left after that. There is not much change in my life. Just I have to lie that I don't drink.

Is this what aging feels like

I have recently stopped smoking and I never liked drinking anyways. Do you think there’s a way to hang out and network with people without doing these things?

How to hang out with people without smoking or drinking ?

Don't be judgemental, don't make faces, don't give any negative vibes with respect to drinking/smoking but at the same time be very comfortable in your skin and with your position that you don't drink. Don't be defensive when people offer you a drink, just deny keeping above things in mind. 
  
  I have some buddies when we hang out, they drink and I don't, still we have the best of times.

People who don't drink, not even occasional, What's your reason?

Consultant

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.

WFH = 0 Social Life

I have been working remotely and honestly, I don't want to go to office ever (at least that's what I feel right now) 
  
 I don't want to become besties with my coworkers, and I stay with family so I'm very happy spending all my time with my favourite people in the world! I also have the option of traveling and have decided to take an out of Delhi trip every 2 months at least 
  
 I might be biased, because my parents and immediate family are professionals as well and have home offices, so all my life, I've had the kind of atmosphere where offices don't play a huge role, so I'm happy! 
  
 But yes, I suppose I do get the socialising aspect, it becomes harder to make friends as one grows older, especially when all your school/college friends have office jobs 🙃🙃

Guys, I am a software engineer and work remotely.

I am 25 years old but feel as if i am older. 

> Already facing heavy back pain, lower back pain. 
> Facial and body hairs are turning grey
> Already bald

Are these all common, or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?

How's your experience working as Software Engineer.

Any thoughts?

Health issues in mid 20's

Go to the gym 4,5 times a week. Follow a regime. Change your diet. Add a lot of protein and complex carbs. Eliminate oily junk food for 3-4 months. You will start seeing the difference.
