Maybe you're on to something with the juicebar. In the very near future juice is going to be an all too important part of my life. The effect of alcohol relaxing your inhibitions is one reason psychologists refer to alcohol as a social lubricant. Thanks for the tip. Maybe you’re on to something with the juicebar.

Although the atmosphere in these places is usually much brighter and cleaner than say a pub, they could be a viable alternative. I'm sure there are very few and far between in Atlanta though. You should move out here. :) As you know my social skills with new people can sometimes be a bit lacking. I've really found that a drink or two can relax me enough to be friendly and social of course extended lack of sleep can also have that effect.

I don't smoke but if the smokers can use their vice as an excuse to go outside and chat with a couple friends why shouldn't I join them? At work I frequently take “smoke breaks”.

I go, eat, and when the drinks start showing up I order some soda or something. One of the Big Wigs from the other company stood up for me when the others in the group were prodding me to drink with them. "Come on,, your boss is having a beer,, you can have one too." As soon as the guy from the other company supported my decsion, they let up and I got to drink what I wanted and still participated in the conversation. My friendship with that Big Wig continues to this day and I feel he respects me more because of that day in the restraunt.
