    Go see a play - we're known throughout the world for our playwrights.
    Go to the pub - they do sell non-alcoholic drinks.
    Get dancing lessons
    But, if I had a girlfriend it would be bedroom antics all the way.

    Go see a band, maybe. TBH, if you aren't both binge drinkers trying to break bad habits, there's no reason why you can't go to your usual places where alcohol is served to socialize.

    i know what we're like, if we go to a pub, we'll end up saying 'a feck it we'll just have one' and then it will lead to 2, 3 , FLOOR....:D

    Facebook has a page called things to do on the dry in dublin.

    They send you a message every Friday with stuff that is on.

    Some great things to do on it and some also for free.

    Yes this country revolves around the ole booze but there is plenty to do.....you wont know yourself in a few weeks if u stay off it!

    Good luck
