Women, let's say you're a social drinker (not someone who drinks to get drunk). Would it affect your opinion and interaction at a bar if a guy talks to you and you find he is drinking soda instead of beer? I get soda pretty frequently, since I tend to drive myself to the bar and I don't have a lot of experience wrt how much I can handle. I wouldn't act any differently because of it, perhaps a little less gregarious than if I drank a beer and was buzzed or drunk. I would still engage her in conversation, perhaps about her favorite drink. Just wanted to clarify whether it would make things awkward or affect the exchange if the guy didn't make a big deal of it.
I really haven't, in reality I rarely attempt to pick up chicks, but when I do, it's normally solo. My self-consciousness prevents me from doing it as much when I go out with friends, so I figure I'm best to attempt solo. Some will find it weird, some will find it gutsy, so it goes.
That makes absolutely no sense. Women are almost never in bars by themselves, so at least when you are in a group with friends, a friend can wing you or if you strike out, you have somewhere to go back to, instead of perching on your bar stool looking like a creeper looking for the next woman to hit on. Especially in a place like Milwaukee. I would image people go out with big groups.
Of course, all of this goes out the window if you are good looking and look the part.
If I were in your shoes, I would do meetups, and do volunteering. Way better odds to meet laid back women and have a fighting chance.

Why not just let him do what he wants to do? Why are you trying to tell him that he has no chance?
If you go to a bar with a DD, you should at least buy him his drinks because he's surrounded by people drinking, and he might enjoy drinking also, just not on that night, especially if he volunteered.
I do it when my friends want to go out, and there's usually one or 2 of my friends that will pick up my soda/water tab.
I'm single and I frequent bars often. Some nights I don't feel like drinking any booze, so I'll just order tea and eat some food. It's not strange or anything, I still have ladies hit on me, smile at me and some even gaze at me. Sometimes I'll be in a mood to meet new people, sometimes not. If I'm not drinking it doesn't change a thing. Most girls don't say anything about it, we just get to know each other.
