I Switched to THC Cocktails for 30 Days, Here's What Happened to My Social Life (and My Sundays)
Look, I wasn't trying to become "that person." You know the one, who shows up to happy hour with their own drink and proceeds to tell everyone about it. But here we are.
It started when my friend Emma handed me a can at her birthday party. "Just try it," she said, sliding a bright PAMOS Strawberry Margarita across the table. "It's THC, not alcohol. Trust me."
I was skeptical. I'm a social drinker, always have been. Wine with dinner, cocktails on weekends, the occasional "just one more" that turns into three. But lately? The hangovers were hitting different. Like, "why did I agree to brunch" different.
So I made a deal with myself: 30 days of PAMOS instead of alcohol at social events. No alcohol, no exceptions. Just these hemp-derived THC cocktails that promised a "calm, balanced high" and, here's the kicker, no hangover.
Week 1: Wait, Where's the Catch?
First weekend test: my college roommate's engagement party. I grabbed a PAMOS Long Island Iced Tea from my bag (yes, I came prepared), and I'll be honest, I felt a little ridiculous. But within 15 minutes, I felt... good? Relaxed, chatty, like I'd had a really good glass of wine minus the warmth in my cheeks.
The best part? I woke up the next morning at 7 AM. Naturally. No headache. No regret-scrolling through my texts. I went to yoga. YOGA. On a Sunday morning after a party.
The Unexpected Benefits
Beyond the obvious no-hangover thing (which, by the way, is LIFE-CHANGING), I noticed:
I was actually present at events. Not foggy, not sloppy, just relaxed and engaged.
My wallet thanked me. A 4-pack runs about $20-25. Compare that to $15 cocktails at bars.
Sundays became my favorite day. No joke. I got so much done. Grocery shopping, meal prep, actually calling my mom back.
Zero anxiety. That weird next-day anxiety after drinking? Gone.
Week 2-3: The Social Experiment Gets Real
Here's where it got interesting. I started bringing PAMOS to everything, girls' night, my brother's barbecue, even a work happy hour (the canned cocktails are clutch for this).
People noticed. "What are you drinking?" became my most-asked question. And when I explained, I got one of two reactions:
The Curious: "Wait, is that legal?" (Yes, it's hemp-derived and ships nationwide)
The Convert: "Can I try one?"
I probably introduced 10+ people to PAMOS in those two weeks alone. My friend Sarah literally ordered a variety pack on her phone at dinner after trying my Peach & Guava Bellini.
The Flavors That Won Me Over
Not all heroes wear capes, some come in cans:
MVP: Lime Ranch Water – Crisp, refreshing, perfect for literally any occasion. This is my "always in the fridge" flavor.
Runner-up: Tropical Mai Tai – Summer in a can. Brought this to a beach day and felt like I was on vacation.
Wildcard: Long Island Iced Tea – Nostalgic and surprisingly smooth. It's got that classic cocktail vibe.
Even at the beach!!!
The Honest Truth
Did I miss alcohol? A little. There's something ritualistic about a glass of wine with dinner. But I didn't miss the way alcohol made me feel, or more accurately, the way it made me feel the next day.
Would I do this again? Absolutely. In fact, I'm still doing it most weekends. I've found this sweet spot where I'll have PAMOS at social events and save actual alcohol for truly special occasions.
If you're sober-curious, tired of hangovers, or just want to feel like a functional human on Sunday mornings, PAMOS is worth trying. It's not trying to replace alcohol, it's offering something better: the social ritual without the regret.
And honestly? My Sundays have never looked better.
Shop PAMOS here and thank me later. Your future self will.
