I'm the DD tonight so what options(other than tap water and soft drinks) do I have for non-alcoholic beverages?

When I was DD, i drank nursed a lagavulin for 30 minutes, then drank tonic and lime for the rest of the night.

I prefer club soda w/lemon or lime twist. Refreshing, non-alcoholic.

This is what I do. Just grab something like one-three beers depending on how long the night is. Sit and nurse 'em, no problems.

Bar hopping makes it hard since you'd have to get a new beer each time which conflicts with your ability to drive.

I would still nurse beers, just not at every bar.

Coffee, coke... To make sure you are awake enough to fuck with the drunkards later.

Thank you for the suggestions.

We've got 60+ bars in a 8 block area with a "no open containers" law so sipping 2-3 beers for the night simply won't be an option.
I think I'll try the club soda/tonic water with lime and maybe a real drink to start off with.

Yeah, in that case, the club/tonic water with lime/lemon will be your friend.
