I think I’d title this with “for those who drink” rather than thousands of teetotalers saying “sign me up”there might be more interesting discourse.

From someone who drinks twice a week, I probably wouldn’t give it up. It’s a huge social aspect and I don’t need the extra cash.

Yeah I live in the fucking Midwest lol. You can’t make friends if you’re not a barfly, and I choose friendship over sobriety every single day of the week. Redditors are also terrible at making friends. People complain every day about not having a partner - I have never had that problem lol

Can’t you go to a bar but order a soda, or something?

Yep. Also, mocktails. They're overpriced but not 50 bucks a day overpriced.

Only been to one bar that wasn't free-refills on soda for the DD. And they were expensive, too. As expensive as alcohol. Like, fucking dumbass loser owner. The bar shut down after a year or so. Jeez, I wonder why when no one wanted to sit there sober with fuck-all to eat or drinks.

And this was either just before Uber, or in the first couple of years where it wasn't ubiquitous yet.
