3. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU CAN’T CHANGE YOUR MOOD When you’re in the mood to dance, you’re in the mood. When you’re not, don’t force it. ‘No thanks’ is a complete sentence. Sometimes it’s hard to explain to people who are a few drinks in, but you don’t really have to explain. ‘Knock yourselves out, I’m fine here’ works. Also, it’s really, really difficult to dance to music you don’t like when you’re alcohol-free.
