What is a good social drink?

I don't think you should worry what anyone thinks if you simply choose to order iced tea or club soda with lime.  That's what lots of people in professional situations do.\n\nIf you want to have something with alcohol (just for appearances), try a rum and coke - the caffeine in the coke will partially counteract the alcohol, and if you nurse the drink (i.e. drink it slowly, as you should), you should be OK.\n\nYou're right to avoid martinis and cosmopolitans - these are almost completely alcohol, like drinking your liquor straight-up.  Make sure you have a mixed drink.\n\nTom Collinses are out of fashion, though I have heard of them.

If you can, have a party. Invite the people you know and like to bring friends. If you have people over on a fairly regular basis they will start to bring more friends over. Plus you can use your duties as host to get over some of your shyness...asking if people want another drink, etc. is a good excuse to strike up a conversation with someone you don't know very well. \n\nIf you don't have enough space to have people over you might consider picking a bar or restaurant that you like and try going once a week for a while. Eventually you will become recognizable and you might be able to strike it up with some of the bartenders/waiters or other regulars. If it's a bar the alcohol is a great social lubricant and helps everyone overcome shyness. Just don't over do it. If your into sports that is always a topic strangers can talk about.

Crystal lite is good - nice flavors available. Also, iced tea but use artificial sweetener instead of sugar. Any tea that doesn't have sugar in it, Lipton makes a 'diet' mix that's ok, but not like real tea. Coffee, of course, but no sugar, artificial sweetener only.\n\nI like a 'milk cocktail' myself: Large glass of COLD milk, about a tablespoon of vanilla and 2 or 3 packets of artificial sweetener (I use nutrasweet, but any that don't contain sugar are good).\n\nThe hard part is going to be getting used to artificial sweeteners! When I first had to cut out sugar, I thought I was going to die without my Dr. Pepper! I now drink diet coke mostly because I never liked original coke, so it doesn't bother me that it 'doesn't taste right'. If you're in an area where Kroger has a store, their store brand diet drinks are excellent, and about 1/3 the price of name brand. The colas are more like pepsi than coke, however. Their cherry diet cola tastes, to me, like real Dr. Pepper, so it's been a treat!

tea:  iced, unsweetened, no lemon.  \nbottled, arizona blueberry white tea.  \nspiced: tazo chai with milk and a dash of sugar.\n\ncoffee: no thank you!\n\nsoda (up here we call it 'pop'):  \nthis is my weakness.  coke is it.  \nwhen i'm feeling a little guilty, diet pepsi or diet dr. pepper.  \na & w root beer is good, and i also like ginger ale.

Blue Nun Reisling is yummy & fruity, or a pinot grigio is drier but also complements turkey well.  It is just a matter of what tastes good to you.  Ask your guests what they like, and try a few to see what you like.

Exercise, watch your diet so you're getting good nutrition, sleep regular hours.  Don't overindulge in caffine or alcohol.  Get enough social interaction too.  Try to live a well balanced life.

Try Crystal Light drink mix.  You just add it to water.  Tons of flavors, no calories, tastes as good as Kool-aid.
