Give up the blows and the hi-balls, and take your date to a new location. Show them that you are unique and that you are better than “let’s have a drink”. Show them you know how to have a good time without the juice. And the best part, you won’t say anything that you regret or stumble upon all the way to the Skytrain at the end of the night.
