Dating as a teetotal

I'm a 21 year old guy and I'm at the stage of my life where I want a girlfriend. I don't drink, smoke, or use drugs as my own personal choice. I have been suggested to check out bars to meet people but I'm not sure if I should since I don't drink. It's not a deal breaker for me if the other person drinks in moderation but I myself refuse to drink alcohol. Should I still meet people in bars or is there another social setting that would be better for me?

If you meet women in bars, you’ll be meeting women who like going to bars.

The best way to find friends or partners is to go to places and events that you already enjoy yourself. That way, you’ll immediately have something in common with the people you meet.
