That’s a wild take. Most people I know don’t go to bars for an efficient alcoholic experience. They go so they can dance and talk with people. Sure its like $7 a beer or $13 a drink, but that pays for clean up you don’t have to do, a place to hang out, and giving people willing to work late money to live. I don’t have any alcohol at home since it’s honestly too cheap and has already caused me problems.

To reinforce what you’re saying, bartenders I know tend to only have stories about one-off degeneracy that happens over the course of one night. But liquor store cashiers have stories about their regulars destroying their own lives over the course of months or years.
Your snark doesn’t really land when you obviously avoided my entire point of bars being a social thing. You wanna stay home and drink cheaper stuff by yourself, go nuts. I’m still gonna go out and make friends and memories.
Why drink your own alcohol when you can go to a disappointing bar and pay a 400-600% markup?
You’re not just paying for the alcohol. You’re paying for service, a place to hang out, and not having to kick drunk people out of your home.
All very valid - my one is paying to not have to clear up or load a dishwasher with a banging fucking headache the next morning.
It’s an expensive luxury these days, though.
Ah yes, dishes too. You also don’t have to deal with piss on the floor, puke, and all the other potential grossness of drunks

Oh my God such an incredible hassle to toss my empty can in the recycling. Thank God for bars for doing the clean up. God bless 🙏🙏🙏

Your lonely empty can, yeah.
did you need tweezers to pick that tiny part of the comment to respond to?
It’s one of the few third places left, and one of the only third places open late when people are out of normal 9 to 5 work
Look how they massacred most coffee shops. 99% of them are for grabbing coffee togo, not for sitting down in.
The bar fits many many more people, some of whom you don’t already know!
For watered down shet :<
