Stand next to someone who is clapping with both hands in my ^this t-shirt.

Either thigh or make a sort of clapping motion with the free hand against the pint glass, not actually making any sound but showing an appreciation in an apologetic “I would clap if I could” kind of way.

Yeah this. Sometimes I ding my wedding ring against the glass but I’m often scared the band will stop and I’ll have to deliver a speech.

Depends, usually raise eyebrows approvingly and take a big slurp of beer while everyone’s clapping. Or, if it’s an actual glass glass then i might loudly clink my ring against the glass. Sometimes when there’s not much beer left in the glass I’ll attempt the holding-the-glass-between-my-arm-and-ribcage method.

if you’re lucky enough to have an actual glass as opposed to plastic, you can tap your ring (no) against it for a nice audible clink.

I beat my chest with this expression:

i apologise, i rarely read your posts

Apology accepted you fucking cunt!

Bring a speaker to hold in one hand (or even clip onto your jacket) and have it play a prerecorded message from you. Something along the lines of:

“I am unable to clap because I am drinking a beverage, but I am enjoying myself a lot and would like it if you played more songs.”

Or you could have it play pre-recorded applause.

Or would that be disingenuous? Like Big Bang Theory?

I just give one of my ATDs a series of high fives :pray::pray::pray::pray:

I just go for it. Makes a fucking mess and costs a fortune but goddamn if I want to clap then I’m going to clap.

If they’re particularly good I might raise the hand with the beer in it and then kind of weakly pat it with my other hand so it at least looks like I tried even though there’s basically no sound made
