00:00 Introduction
Drinking, and by that, I mean alcoholic beverages, can be a pleasure, a social expectation or tricky at times because it may damage your reputation. For example, the office holiday party almost always produces some gossip because some people to drink too much. The same goes for weddings or business dinners, you do not want to be the guy that ruins the evening for everyone or be responsible for not closing the deal.
Being intoxicated always has an impact on how you behave and how you are perceived. The truth is, we are never at our best behavior when intoxicated and the potential of long-term regret outweighs the pleasure of one night on the town, To top it all off, everyone has a smartphone these days and they take photos and videos and they may end up getting to your employer, your mom, or to that uncle who had you in his will.
So the main goal of drinking like a gentleman is to enjoy yourselves while still being civil and in full control of yourself. That being said, here are 8 practical tips that you can apply when you go out and drink.
01:57 Most importantly, know your limit. Everyone has different reactions to the amount of alcohol they drink and it is up to you to know what is acceptable and what is too much.
02:18 Two, stick with the classics. Most bartenders will be able to mix up a gin and tonic o an old-fashioned. Moreover, keep in mind, a gentleman drinks his beverage from a cup or a glass, not from the can or the bottle.
04:11 Four, pace yourself. You are under no obligation to keep up with how much other people are drinking. Ideally, you can establish your own pace and one of the best ways to fend off questions for another drink is to simply have your glass half full.
04:49 Five, be immune to peer pressure. Honestly, that is one of the hardest things for most men. Most people love to drink and enjoy doing so in a company and that may mean that they will bug you consistently.
05:12 Six, do not push drinks on other people. You may be really into paying this round of tequila shots but not everyone might be into that.
05:31 Seven, always treat the restaurant or bar staff with respect. I know that can be hard if you have been waiting in line for twenty minutes and you feel someone else has cut in line and gotten served ahead of you. Keep your composure.
06:05 Last but not least, keep your hands to yourself. Drinking will usually relax even the most guarded person's view on interpersonal space but getting too close to someone or even touch them is a clear indicator that you have had way too much to drink.
06:21 Also, a bonus tip, if you go to a bar to have a drink, don't sneak in your flask and drink from it.
In conclusion, drinking like a gentleman means you should not behave in a way that makes you a pain in the ass to others around you. Very simple, isn't it?
