Dates are beautiful. When you are out on a date with somebody, you feel important, alive and sometimes, in love. But, we do get those jitters on our first date, don’t we? From ‘am I looking good’ to ‘will I reach on time’, there are no questions untouched. Now, it is one thing to go for the date, but an entirely different thing to live that moment. We often get conscious during the first conversation and in order to break the ice, someone or the other orders from the drinks menu first. They say, when you Drink with someone, your bond strengthens.

Now, what is it when you don’t know that person well but have to spend some time? Well, safety comes first. Yes, the main thing that we should remind ourselves is that there is no going back if you feel uncomfortable. It’s okay to get Drunk when you are with people you trust, but there should definitely be a limit when the people beside you are strangers. You never know intentions or somebody’s psychology. Better be at the safer side!

When you are drinking with that person you were literally speaking to via social media the other day, wear your bulletproof jacket well! You don’t know the person by character, and there’s no way you are going to provide him with the chance of taking unwanted advantage. Drinks are good when limited and you should set that limit by yourself.

Well, there is a phrase called ‘jinxing the drink’ which you don’t want your drink to experience. So, before taking a sip, make sure you know what you are having, and that nothing suspicious is mixed to that. Don’t be afraid, but be aware! It is important to know what you like to drink, what gets you heavily drunk or what keeps you afloat. In order to do so, taste alcohol if they insist, but don’t readily get drunk on something. Some sips are enough for amateurs, and if you feel you can handle one glass or bottle, go ahead!

Generally, people have an affinity towards the expensive wines and whiskeys, to which we should say that do not overdo! Whiskey could get you drunk, same goes for tequila. But, if you are an experienced person, a bottle of beer sounds the best! Sit with that and enjoy as much as you want. The main point of a date is conversing and getting to know each other. Drinking might be a part, but not the main focus. Remember, ‘no’ means ‘no’ and never let your guard down. Happy dating!
