I just drink at home for half the price

>>21420681
My local bar still does $1.50 pints of PBR on tap in a chilled glass they keep in a chest freezer behind the bar. Free pool tables, $8/dozen chicken wings. I don't even coordinate with my friends, just show up on a Friday or Saturday night and half of em will already be there.

I'm too scared to enter a bar
there's no explanation of where to go or how to order

>>21420739

No they just don't like the overpriced boomer bars. There are plenty of ones in my area that are packed with zoomers on the weekends. I took a zoomette out on a date once and she tried stealing the salsa dish kek

>>21420683
do you think that's something to be proud of?

I'm not a zoomer but I like to hide in the darkest corners of bars and drink the cheapest beer. And sometimes if a guy is making eyes at me I'll get a fruity girl drink as a signal and then let the guy invite to the bathroom for free cheeky bumps. I'm not gay btw, just a degenerate.

This. If I wanted to sit in a dimly lit place and do nothing but sit in a chair and drink beer, I'd just drink at home, where I can play games and stream whatever I want.

The most successful bars among zoomers and younger millennials are the ones that provide a unique experience or vibe that you can't get anywhere else. There's two good ways to do that.

Never had this problem ever, but sometimes the bartenders skill level makes me wish they'd just stick to rum and coke.

Never had this problem, in fact a good number of places insist on it
>>Everyone looks homeless but drinks are $10
I'll agree with this one.
What kind of bars are you going to? Unless you're going to the shittiest of shit places I can only imagine you're having these problems regularly because you look homeless yourself.

Its easy as soon as you enter raise your right hand with your pointer finger up, and say excuse me barkeep do you know how to make a bull shot, everyone has a laugh and you get your bullshot

yeah, alcoholism is just slow crack addiction.

anyone who goes to a bar more than a few times a month is an alcoholic by medical definition

>>21420979
The medical definition of alcoholism doesnt mean shit. It was written by teetotalers a hundred years ago and the system sticks with it because it allows them to impose harsher sentencing in court. Anyone who goes through a 6pack of non-lite beer in a week is considered an alcoholic.

let me guess, you're one of those faggots who comes in with all his buddies and you all order the most complicated cocktails that takes the bartender forever to make. then you probably pay with the card and close it out after every round of drinks.

Bars are fun if you're with a big group like a work outing. But I wouldn't go to a bar with my actual friends because it'll cost over $100 just to get a buzz and some mid dinner. We just drink at each other's houses.

Misanthrope, yes.

bars have a singular role/function if you aren't an alcoholic or trying to fuck. that is going with your friends/family/work friends/whatever, as a social setting. likely 1-3 drinks.

Bars need to take what they can get. Their traditional "target" demo is currently dying of old age.

>>21423187
"Old age" hasn't been listed as a cause of death since the 50s. More accurately, it's the knock-on effects of recreational drug abuse---ethanol, to be specific---that's killing them.

I'm 33 and I have no idea how to order at a bar, but I also don't like socializing, sitting on stools or drinking alcohol in general.

I went to a bar and my Stella glass had a huge lipstick mark on it but it was on the other side from where I was drinking so I didn’t notice until I was 3/4s of the way done. I was too scared to complain so I left and I never went to a bar again. They’re too loud besides.

Your story would be believable if not for that part. I've never been to a single bar that doesn't take your card or at least swipe it into the machine. If you leave they just auto tab you out and charge your card at the end of the night.

>>21423778
This. Absolute bullshit. That's the whole point of a tab: they hold your card. They've usually got plastic wallets with numbered cards and put your card in place of the numbered card and give you it

>>21423778
>>21423868
whatever makes you feel better for being such a good little goy, I will continue to run up massive tabs and dump it on the establishment/people who I let use me tabs, not my problem

Places that have billiards, darts or flippers also seem decently visited by all age groups.

Once you discover solo drinking at dives there's no going back. It's the best thing there is in life. It requires the "alcoholic" gene, though

There is a unique vibe to going out and drinking you can't get from drinking at home. If you don't "get" that you likely have autism or crippling social anxiety.

With all this talk about prices and beers being too expensive it’s gotten me wondering how expensive alcohol should be, as in the objective economic value. People say to go to liquor stores ‘cause their cheaper than bars, let’s see how far things go. You buy a beer at the liquor store, sold by a company. In some areas the company has a monopoly, or cartel etc so they can set the price way above the actual value. Then, many governments will tax the beer to financially discourage people from becoming alcoholics. If you buy from a bar, the bar charges you more ‘cause they at least gotta pay the bartenders and bouncers, and you still have greed after that.

I found this site claiming that beer was dirt cheap in Victorian England, though it doesn’t look particularly reliable:
>Victorian Era: less than 0.5d/gallon
>Victorian Era Adjusted For Inflation £0.21
>2020: $14.99 for 8, 15oz cans of Guinness or £12.01

it's just a different world now. kids don't want to go goof off at the bar or coffee shop. They don't know how to have fun. They think something is wrong with everything. and they get mad at the people in their group that figure it out. BUT the thing is both groups have always been there, it's just the proportion that changed. Happens every once and awhile, the cultural shifts and all. Prohibition already starting on porn, back to alcohol soon.

im 33 fucking years old and ive never really been to a bar in my life. you could say that it frightens and confuses me. i legit dont even know how things work in a bar. its just another on the long list of experiences and achievements thative never had as a complete loser at 33 years old that makes me even more miserable. i mean to think, a 33 year old who has never been to a bar in his life. and im not talking a nightclub or something, which ive also never been to. but even just a regular run of the mill bar, with a bartender, a bar you sit at, tvs on, sitting there talking to the other people sitting there, etc.

>>21424651
Why do you care so much what other people do with their time you arrogant piece of trash? What do I have to gain from forcing myself to be around people I have nothing in common with? More over, why would I pay to do it? Literally nothing to gain. Socializing with drunk morons just to do it makes no sense. It is the biggest waste of time ever. Just think about it.

That business would NOT have happened when I lived in DC at the height of the tech boom. Nearly everyone I knew had a government job, worked for a government contractor, or a high need for privacy. My apartment building had a literal glass punchbowl of shared loyalty key fobs for pharmacies and groceries for people to use with names like Abe B Lincoln. You'd hear Clark Kent's name called at the Maitre'd's stand in restaurants and other examples of anonymity all the time.

The cheapest alcohols that aren't some kind of sugar wine are arguably, in no particular order
>Raisin wine
Bulk raisins take a little digging to get but if you can grift enough fermentation vessels off various places it's easy to get a thriving operation set up. Raisins are very nutrient dense. Add enzymes that bteak down the pectin, use a high alcohol tolerance yeast and you'll get a very strong fermentation set up quickly.
>Rice wine
Rice is cheap. If you use amylase rather than koji/the Korean equivalent and a nice yeast you can produce a ton of clean alcohol quickly. In fact many premixed Cocktails use rice alcohol because it's cheap and fairly neutral nowadays and it's more drinkable than watering down cheap vodka.
There's a myriad other options but the above two have a great balance of cost and flavor. Around one buck per Standard eine bottle or less should be fairly attainable.

The primary reason I go to bars (on rare occasions, but sometimes I do) is for mixed drinks involving multiple liquors. If I want a Negroni at home, I either have to spend $60 on gin and liqueurs or put up with an inferior premixed version. Spending $10-15 for a well made drink on a special occasion is cheaper, and means I don't have to trust my own mixology skills.

There are multiple bars. Some are 1$, 1.50$, 2$. And those beers are 4 something percent. You should get out more. Leave the city

>>21428719
The UK just has insane alcohol taxes. In most Slavic countries beer is as cheap as water and vodka not much more, while German Lidl has cans of beer for like 30 eurcents. I remember reading somewhere that even slaves in the Roman Empire would have multiple litres of wine per week, and yeah I can see that because we've got a grapevine here in a northern European climate no less and about 3 or 4 metres of it across a fence makes enough wine to last us a year basically for free. Basically, what we call "alcoholism" was the natural state of humanity for all of our recorded history and WE are the weird ones for taxing the shit out of it.

>>21435217

you can buy supermarket own brand beer for £2.30/ 4pack and the same for cider but its 3.4%. but even actual branded beer in supermarkets is ~£4.50/ 4pack. good luck getting a pint in a pub for less than £4

>>21422544
>if all I had were night clubs where I spend $10 on a shitty cocktail
Try $20+ in a big city. I was fucking shocked the last time I was in LA for a convention, got one old fashioned with Makers' at the hotel bar and it cost more than a whole bottle of Makers at a store. Weird thing is that the same bar had been reasonable pre-covid too, more like $11 (which yeah is a lot compared to a dive bar but it's a fancy downtown LA hotel), and managed to more than double in price in like 4 years.

It's fucking wild how much money normies in big cities spend going out in general, ends up being like $200+ by the time you count in Ubers or parking, and some of them do that shit every weekend and it's not even like they get laid out of it or anything because they just go in same-sex groups and don't interact with anybody else.

>>21435854
Normies are deathly afraid of having actual hobbies. Anything that's not purely consumptive is under immediate suspicion.

I've traveled a lot (mostly work) so I've spent plenty of time going to bars by myself, just because nursing a beer at one is better than twiddling my thumbs in a hotel room. Whether it leads to socialization is pretty hit or miss, depends on the bar and what's going on in the general area - obviously if there's a convention or something the chances are way higher. Never had that much luck locally though there is one weird thing that's a fly fishing shop with a beer bar in it, that place is social as fuck but I've never seen a woman in there.

Best place I've ever gone to bars is Japan, the instant people figure out that you're a white guy who can speak enough Japanese to have a conversation with you've got a whole room of new friends and will never pay for a drink. My company's office in Japan was right around the corner from a maid bar and I used to go there all the time, the bartender girls loved me because I'd actually treat them normally and not expect any maid bullshit out of them and I've always kinda regretted not asking one of them in particular out, super cool chick around 30 who was obviously kind of a yanki in her younger years and would drift into talking like one when nobody else was around.

I once spent $30 on an old fashioned at the ritz carlton. to be fair it was the best old fashioned I've ever had but thirty fucking dollars for one drink.

>>21435969
Yeah that seems about right. The bar I mentioned was at the JW Marriott, which is attached to the Ritz. I actually stayed in that Ritz once, thanks to my ex's mom, who had literally millions of hotel points because of her job (she was a traveling consultant who stayed in hotels 4-5 nights a week) and it was nice but I wouldn't pay sticker price for a room there.

>>21420575 (OP)
I'm in my 30s and can never go to a bar alone unless there's bands playing. I know I'll just sit there and finish my drink in 2 minutes, what are the odds you have anything to talk about with a random stranger?

See, I'm not single. I have a lovely daughter who I love very much and I have a very, very attractive wife who is an absolute bitch. Therefore, when the kid is in bed, I want to escape after a day of hellish work at my well paid job. Speaking to a few old fucks who I wouldn't voluntarily associate with, whilst playing bar sports and slots whilst tanking as many drinks as I can in that period of time is a welcome release. I'm not a boomer myself, but I'm of an age where I'm not retarded enough to not be able to converse with random fucks whose views on the world I may not agree with

>>21440254
Isn't that depressing though? Why did you marry an absolute bitch? My gf is cool and I love spending my evenings talking with her and my nights cumming in her. I'd much rather be with her than a bunch of miserable fags at some bar.

Did you ever think maybe your wife is a “bitch” because you’re a drunk who would rather spend time getting hammered with strangers than being at home with your wife and kid? Your story about leaving the wife at home to go to a bar because she’s a nagging bitch is what every alcoholic who lives with their partner says. It’s alcoholism 101.

>>21440267
She wasn't a bitch, she turned into one. Lazy, bitter and entitled with a self elevated status is the short story.
>>21440274
Not at all, I'm not out all of the time by any stretch of the imagination. If I portrayed it that way then that's my mistake. I'll work my high pressure job, then I'll be with my kid the whole time until she's asleep. If my wife has been particularly unbearable then I'll ditch out. I'm not pleading my case. She does relatively fuck all and even my mother in law is horrified at her. Furthermore, I have a decent constitution. I don't get hungover, I don't get blackouts, my mood doesn't change negatively. But I'm not a simp. I do enough for my household, but I won't abide certain attitudes and actions. You seem to me to be a virginal white knight, putting women on a pedestal because you've rarely dealt with them.
