ULPT: Find and befriend your co-workers that don't drink, because if there's ever a work function with drink tickets, you can try to get theirs.
Don't be too obvious about it though.

Don't be too obvious about it though.
As someone who doesn’t drink, this is good advice. I was always happy to give my drink tickets to someone who would enjoy them.
As someone else who doesnt drink, youre missing out on the hustle! You gotta sell those bad boys! Or at least swap for extra food.
I forgot, this is UNethical LPT. Good answer.
"I don't want to and if you want us to stay cool you should respect that"
if the only reason is to get the booze... I could see that.
on the other hand... I generally don't drink, too, and like... You'd almost have to go out of your way for me to not share it. Or just be a lousy drunk.
Drink tickets should also cover non-alcoholic drinks for those who don't drink alcohol. Otherwise it discriminates against non-drinkers and could be indirect discrimination against, say, Muslims.
Last time I went to event with drink tickets only the alcohol required the ticket, non-alcoholic drinks were free.
The real LPT. Every event like that I've been to has been more than happy to offer up a coke without a ticket.
event: hey have free drink
person: i dont like drink
person: racism >:(
logic
Their example is about religious discrimination not racism. Also, people like Muslims don't abstain from things like pork, alcohol etc because they don't like it, they're just not allowed to consume those things by their religion. Muslims can consume pork in emergency food shortages and stuff like that afaik, so I'd imagine you could probably find Muslims that have tried and actually like these things despite not being allowed to consume them.
Not really unethical, i mean whatre they gonna do with those tickets?
Not only that, but if you can get them to drive too, you're golden.
.... buying you an uber. off your phone.
LPT: drink less.
My husband doesn't drink. I've always had a designated driver and get his drink tickets. It's the perfect crime.
I don't drink and you can just ask me you don't even have to be my friend lmao. I'll even drive if it means someone drunk won't.
If you are the sober friend the real UPLT is to charge people for your free drink tickets.
A drink cost 10? Ok I'll give you my free ticket for 8.
Exchange the tickets for joints
yes much healthier
You don't have to try to get them. As long as you have a ride home, I'll give them to you, gladly.
As someone who no longer drinks, yes I will drive drink tickets for friendship 😂
Our band only has one drinker, so he gets all the alky-comps, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
