Bar culture is a waste of money anyways.
You can get more variety at a cheaper price from grocery stores. It doesn’t make sense to pay more money to drink at a bar with people who you’re not close enough to visit each other’s homes.
Anyone who spends $7 on a shot when an entire bottle costs $12 isn’t using their brain.
I go to the pub after work once a week to catch up with friends who are there.
I wouldn’t see them otherwise
Meeting people at the grocery store: 😰
Yeah, I’m a pretty cheap person, but I don’t go to a bar to save money, I go to relax and socialize.
If you’re not living a boring life, then you should naturally come across plenty of different people with plenty of different opportunities to make connections.
“Meeting people at the grocery store” is a lazy and ignorant excuse to justify going to bars. If you think those are your only two options, then you’re the problem and I pity anyone who gets caught in your web.
Why do I need to justify going to a bar?
Ask the people here trying to justify why they go to bars.
And you don’t understand that some people prefer the bar. But I guess you have the only right way to do things.
If you’re insecure about getting taken for a ride, that’s on you. There’s no argument you can make to change the fact that you are being fleeced when you buy alcohol at bars. Drug addicts say the same things when they are paying 500%+ markup on their drugs. “It’s worth it to them.”
Keep going to bat for the people ripping you off. It’s what’s expected of you.
I was with you until you said grocery store beer. No selection at grocery stores in my area unless you want a lager.
I’m mostly referring to liquor because it’s the most economical way to get drunk.
My local Walmart has a decent selection of beers, but I’ve been to HEBs that have entire sections devoted to craft beers. It may depend on the grocery store in question.
You can still get a better selection at a cheaper price at liquor stores than bars.
Why not bathtub moonshine? That is even more economical.
Hey man, if you have more money than sense that’s your problem. You don’t have to go around replying to everything I post trying to explain why you like getting ripped off.
The profit margins for the alcohol you buy at bars is significantly higher than alcohol you buy in stores. You’re getting ripped off, and in typical useful idiot fashion, you need to figure out some way to avoid acknowledging it.
If you think the only use of a pub is to get drunk then I think you’re using them wrong…
