Reader Question: Can You Date A Girl Who Doesn't Drink?

This question was brought up when I joined JJ on his podcast last Friday and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it because the more I think about it, the more I realize it’s the worst question ever asked. The question is pretty simple- if you meet a girl who is awesome, hot, wants to bang you, etc etc would you be able to date her if she has a shitty pancreas (his words, not mine) and couldn’t drink alcohol. I’ve asked a few people their thoughts, and pretty much everyone I’ve talked to agrees with me, ABSOLUTELY NOT. Because you know why? I literally can’t think of anything I want less in a girl than for her to be sober 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What are you going to do on dates? How do you ever have sex? Do people under the age of 30 even have sober sex? If I’m not drunk enjoy your 6 seconds, lucky lady. And say you date Sober Sally and you’re drunk and she’s not, isn’t that just a bit rapey? Both people have to be on the same level, and if we’re being honest, I can’t even talk to a girl sober, like can’t even approach having a conversation with her, nevermind disappoint her in the sheets.

And furthermore, how do you enjoy the company of others? Because say you actually find a “cool” chick, what happens when you bring her along to a party, to a company gathering, a baseball game, or literally anywhere in life? She stays stone sober while you go down the hole of drunkeness? Sounds fun, not even a little bit. Can’t imagine the fights that would happen the first time she asks you “can you just not drink tonight?” as if her fucked up pancreas is your fault.

Only one person I talked to attempted to make a valid point on the opposite end of the spectrum but it was because he’s older and is like blah blah eating healthy blah blah getting in shape. At 27 years old though, my life and my friends lives basically revolve around alcohol. And not in a “cool bro, you drink?” way, in a “literally it’s the only way to have fun because life sucks and we’re all going to die soon” way. It’s not being an alcoholic, it’s being realistic. Life sucks sober.

So no, you cannot date a girl with bad spleens, in need of a liver transplant, a busted pancreas, an enlarged kidney, or whatever shitty organ problem she has. Cash is king and drinking rules everything around me (D.R.E.A.M.).
