Five ways to make pub crawls more interesting when you're on the more sober side of life

Super-galactic travelling friends, 

Since cutting way down on alcohol I've been out to pubs many times since. Most of the time it's just going for a couple then heading home, but a couple of times it's been mini pub crawls, where I've gone to three or four places over an evening.

While I may have a half pint at one of them if they have a particularly interesting looking beer, I'll stick to alcohol free drinks the rest of the time.

However, not drinking when you're going to lots of pubs can get boring, even when you're enjoying the company of those you're with, so here's some ways to spice up that night out when you don't want to drink but still want to have fun while out with mates or family.

bland joys

 

Dear super-galactic travellers,

I've been thinking about the small, bland, daily type stuff that bring me joy, because we can't all have grand adventures on the daily to make us happy due to money, lack of time, being an introvert etc.

So I'm making a list here of seemingly dull things that brings me happiness, so if I'm ever having a down day I can look at this list and find something to do on it to lift my mood. It's also going to be an ongoing list, so every time I think/do one I'll be adding it to the list, so come back from time to time to see what's new. Who knows, maybe some of these will bring you a wee glimmer of joy when you do them too!
