What is this "courage liquid" or "33 adversities" in one bottle? Today we are going to talk about our good friend or foe alcohol. I think many of us on our personal experience, were convinced that alcohol contributes to the emergence of new connections, whether long or not, good or bad. Alcohol dulls our mind and gives free rein to pure emotions, we become more emancipated but at the same time reckless. Here will be discussed how alcohol affects the likelihood of the emergence of a new beautiful acquaintance and whether it is possible to do the same without it.


First of all, I want to be clear with you; drinking could help you to be braver to come towards the person that you like and ask their number, but an ill-advised "drunken leg over" is not the most auspicious start to a beautiful friendship. Making the first approach is always a nerve-wracking experience for anybody. You are afraid of being rejected or looking foolish in front of a stranger, so then you are trying to keep yourself calm and exude confidence by taking a sip of courage. Alcohol is a real tongue-loosener, and conversation usually picks up after a few introduction words. But don't let your tongue get carried away if you don't want to finish with a night of drunken ramblings. Relax and enjoy yourself, because if everything goes well, there will be plenty of time for nights of reckless abandon with your new acquaintance.


On the other side, some people are not consuming alcohol by many reasons. Some don't drink because of a bad experience or religion. Some don't drink because of the health issues. Some simply don't like the taste of it. Anyway, don't hide the fact that you don't drink. Dont try to mask it up tonic water and lime at the bar. It would be better if you don't false advertise.


Thomas Edward Jr., the founder of The Professional Wingman, says: "There are virtually no challenges non-drinkers face when dating unless you're someone who relies on alcohol for liquid courage. A true advantage for non-drinkers is their minds are always clear enough to make consistently great decisions."


Imperceptibly for us, alcohol changes the way how we behave. We are likely to believe that we are friendly and chatty when drunk, but your acquaintance may think otherwise. Therefore if your alcohol tolerance level is low, you will at some stage either say or do something foolish, so keep that in mind.


Draw conclusions yourself, there is no unambiguous opinion, but no matter which way you choose, always remember the first impression is the most important. You can either make an incredible night that both of you would remember for all the right reasons by not drinking at all or drinking a little and remain under control.
