Nightlife while not drinking. Experiences?

I’m a teen, and in the weekends my friends and people my age like to go out and drink and party. I’m not teetotal (yet) but I have been considering it because I don’t like how it affects my goals. It messes up my sleeping schedule, and my general health. I like working out, eating healthy and taking care of my body and I feel like drinking in the weekends disrupts my progress.

Is it still worth it to go out while not drinking? Do you have any tips/experiences/thoughts? I don’t want to miss out on the social life during my teenage/young adult years

When i was a teen and had similar thoughts i just ended up with people who had better things to do at weekend evenings/ nights than getting wasted.

Yeah, like if you think about it, you’re not missing out on literally anything worthwhile 😬
