Replacing Alcohol

[JimmyB196]

I’m taking accutane now, so I need to dial down my drinking or stop it completely. However my mates will all still wanna go out and I don’t wanna seem ND asf by not going out cause fuck going out sober. Anyone got recommendations for substances to replace alcohol? Not really a fan of opioids or things along those lines. Precciate it.

pregabalin maybe, it has a similar effect to alcohol socially, but doesn't damage the liver nearly at all

caffeine heightens alertness therefore anxiety. really nothing benificial for this circumstance. i’d argue the same for any other stimulant

That's not a given. Caffeine affects people pretty differently, and if OP already drinks caffeine regularly, the anxiety response is usually blunted by tolerance. So it wouldn't be a disqualifier.

Also the point wasn't really about the benefit. OP already mentioned it was to have SOMETHING in hand socially that isn't alcohol. I would say caffeine does that job fine.
