I got denied access to a bar becuase I was to drunk but I don't drink... Any tips?

[SamC]

It started out being kind of funny but now it's starting to get super annoying aswell lmao.  About 60% of the time the bouncers think I am too drunk and dont let me in.Thats not reliable! How do you act sober? How should I go about convincing them that I am not drunk? Any insights about the psychology behind bouncers?

I've been denied more times than I've had hot dinners. Some tips when queing:

• Don't be too loud.
• Don't be too animated.
• If you're with a large (>4) group of men, split up and queue at different times.
• Don't talk to bouncers.
• Don't make too much eye contact with bouncers.
• Bouncers will never change their minds, go somewhere else if denied.
• Adhere to any dress code, especially shoes and/or don't wear jeans (depends on the place though).
• Make sure you have ID on you if necessary.
• If you look very young, grow a beard.

Lol .. hard to do if you're shit-faced. If you're serious about improving your skills at socialization and/or pickup .. go for little to no alcohol.

I might have not been clear enough.. I don't drink.. like at all but Apperently I act drunk, What the fuck am I doing wrong??

Get a breathalyzer, they're like $50 on Amazon lol. Although then I guess they could just say you're high.

Sounds like just a convenient way to discriminate against you for something else they don't like.

They also don't let children into bars ;D

It’s probably them just making up an easy excuse because they don’t want to let you in for some other reason

Don’t be the dude who argues with bouncers, though. If I get rejected I just laugh out loud, wish them a good night and walk away

I honestly belive that they think I am drunk and or on drugs. It had happend so many times that bouncers have asked me, even while Im in the bar/club If I'm okey. Apperntly I also wobbel when walk sometime.

Bro, they'll deffo think you bought a fake breathalyser lmao.

I dunno, just calm yourself down by deep breathing whilst your in the queue.

Maybe if you drank some alcohol you would act less drunk?? Seems counterintuitive but might work^^
