I’m thinking his problem is he just doesn’t like standing around drinking as a social activity. Change that to a board game and the social battery won’t drain so fast.
it might shock you to learn that there are 8 billion people on this planet, you can find people who will actually play the board games and it’s not even difficult. for example: go to literally any game shop with tables. everyone there will focus on the game.
It might shock you to learn that to assume make an ass out of u and me :)
I’ve literally been hosting and joining game nights that were deliberately advertised with the board game as the focus and discouraged smalltalk style socialization and limited phone use.
There are 8 billion people in the world (7.997 billion who are not even remotely close to where I live, so that number is moot anyway), and I might just have been unlucky. But the point still stands.
I dunno’ about them, but that’s why I cannot do board/card games most of the time. Due to no fault of the game or (usually) other players, most are so painfully boring to me that I’m pretty much trying to lose so I can escape to something more engaging after ~20 minutes.
Agreed my main point was just an actively of some kind boardgames are just my go to. Drinking being the main focus is just so off putting to me. Make it worse when they are work people so they just complain about work.

And then people take ages with their turns and are distracted by their smartphones or smalltalk instead of actually playing. That’s even worse.
A lot of people play boardgames specifically to hang with friends. I just gently ask who’s turn it is if things get out of hand.

Or maybe they have ADHD?

Or if not really social, changing to some outdoors activity, like running or hiking
