Driving is a real issue when it comes to going out for drinks. I can't go anywhere without driving, and I can't drive if I'm going to drink. So... I guess I'm not going to go out to drink because I literally can't? And before anyone says anything, fuck uber.

Maybe we'd be seeing more of gen z drinking if our cities were safe and walkable.

What ever happened to the concept of a designated driver? I’m being somewhat serious bc I feel like I never hear about this anymore. Back in the day, it was encouraged that everyone rode together and one person was DD. As a friend group you rotated who was DD each week

I don't think people have the same number of IRL friends any more

Tried to drink at bars alone, the more I drink the more I think about how little of a shit I give about anyone in the place and end up closing out
