Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?

It’s fairly common right now, too.

How can anyone afford to go to bars anymore? Drinking at home is much cheaper.

any area with bars has a cheaper bar usually, my main college bar was hella cheap, always had a deal everyday, most nearby bars had deals once a week or specials for locally brewed stuff that was a lot cheaper than buying it elsewhere. I could black out easily off 50$ vs sf which is like 2 one shot drinks maybe for that amount

$50 is a lot to spend on booze. I can just stay and home and black out on $5 with a beer and three 100 proof shooters.

Well at the college bar I couldve spent 20$ to black out with 4 pitchers depending on the day, sf id get one drink maybe

It’s technically considered depression & alcoholism to drink alone in one’s house.
Most people use alcohol to unwind & socialize so they do it in social environments.

Or maybe I’m just introverted.

I was just speaking from what I’ve observed in others’ behavior. I literally have never had alcohol in my life, nor do I ever “go out,” especially not to bars. None of that appeals to me.

It’s not “technically considered depression & alcoholism” to have a drink alone at home. That’s just not true. 🤷♂️

I turned legal drinking age this year and alcoholic drinks at bars and events is so expensive. $8-$14 for anything that isn’t beer. Not enough to get a buzz for more than 10 minutes. Back to mocktails for me. I also am extremely socially awkward and don’t know how to order so maybe that’s got something to do with it

That’s what the booze is supposed to help with. Whether or not it does is up for debate but it certainly makes you worry less and that’s a huge part of awkwardness.

Get buzzed first then go out and coast with a few drinks
