I finally figured out the "two drink rule" for first dates

My problem was I'd get super nervous and ramble, or worse, drink too much to calm down. So I tried this trick: order one drink (like a craft beer) and also a water, then sip the beer really slow while chugging the water between nervous pauses. It worked perfectly on a date at The Rusty Nail in Austin last Friday, kept me calm without turning into a mess. Has anyone else found a solid "date drink strategy" that works for them?

Heard somewhere that matching your drink pace to theirs takes away all the pressure.

Matching pace works better if you're both drinking the same thing. Beer for beer, wine for wine, not beer for whiskey. Folks mess that up all the time and wonder why it doesn't work.
