I had a first date with a guy two weeks ago it was meant to be a couple of drinks.
He got so drunk and was slurring his words,wobbly on his feet etc.

Anyway my friend said give him another chance.
So said we can meet tonight.
Now he's said we can go on a pub crawl in the city centre.
I really don't feel this is a date.
It's gonna be him getting drunk again.

Aibu to suggest a meal and a couple of drinks instead?
It's chucking it down with rain,I don't want to walk bar to bar hoping there's a table.

Somebody who gets pissed on the first date and then wants to go on a pub crawl for the second date is either very young or to be avoided

You've had a glimpse into his ways very early on

@Seeline

I wouldn't go at all.

If a bloke hasn't got the ability or decency to stay sober on a first date, I can only see things getting worse.

Exactly. I mean, seriously, OP, why does someone who can’t function without huge quantities of booze strike you as a positive addition to your life?

There's no sensible reason at all for a grown adult to go out of there way to get into a relationship with someone who clearly has drinking problems.

Even in normal times and in the summer I wouldn't consider a pub crawl a date - what's wrong with a nice meal and a few drinks in one place, where you can talk and get to know one another?

I think you need to stop dating.
Seriously.
You shouldn’t be asking questions like this on here - it should be blindingly obvious that this is a non starter.
If you want to meet someone and have a successful relationship, stop dating for now and use the time out to work out and on what has led to you not having the confidence to decide for yourself (without your friend, without us) that this man isn’t for you.
