Non-Alcoholic Fun
Are you tired of always going out with your friends and ending up drinking more than you intended to? Or maybe you’re trying to cut back on alcohol altogether. Whatever the reason, finding activities to do with friends that don’t involve drinking can be challenging. But fear not, there are plenty of fun and exciting things to do with your friends that don’t involve alcohol. As a Millennial, I grew up having get togethers with friends that almost always involved alcohol. Learning to do things that didn’t involve alcohol and focusing our friendship on something else has truly changed the game for us. Especially because now we are more focused on wellness and doing things together that enrich our lives.
One option is to get active. Exercise can be a great way to bond with friends while also improving your health. You could try going for a hike, taking a yoga class together, or joining a recreational sports league. Not only will you be spending quality time with your friends, but you’ll also be getting a workout in.
Another option is to get creative. There are plenty of arts and crafts activities that you can do with your friends. You could try painting, pottery, or even a cooking class. Not only will you have fun creating something together, but you’ll also have a tangible reminder of your time spent together. And who knows, you may even discover a new hobby or passion. Here are some great activities that you can start trying with your friends:
Outdoor Activities
Hiking
Hiking is a great way to explore nature and get some exercise. You can find hiking trails in your local parks or nature reserves. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water and snacks for the journey. Hiking with friends can be a great way to catch up and enjoy the scenery together.
Beach Day
A day at the beach is a classic outdoor activity, especially here in Florida, that you can enjoy with your friends. You can bring a frisbee, beach ball, or other games to play in the sand. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, towels, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. You can also pack a picnic lunch to enjoy on the beach.
