Yeah, it's definitely younger people for the most part. They grow up a bit,
At least, most of them do. Some never grow up, and wind up going to prison
These fuckwads insist that women owe them sex, find like-minded chicken-chok ut start harassing women. Eventually they take it to the level of assault.

she knows what she's doing and that's what she likes. if she's complainin
people always find what they are looking for.
I am sure some people are just like that. In other cases, I think it is just of them finding what they look for, but not what they want, because they loo wrong deal.

If you get into your 50's and 60's and still hang in bars, doing the same stuff you were doing when you were in your 20's and 30's, I'm afraid ther is little chance of maturity. People aren't always doomed and some are j late bloomers and finally wise up much later than they wished they did. Others accept the logic, yet their hearts lead them back down the same pa
it depends on the type of bar. some bars are where you can meet new friends. it's just not people getting drunk.
there's this bar i used to go to that had awesome food. everyone there was f they had different activites and live music.
it's important to get out of the house.
some stuff is too expensive or if you're alone you just cant go to.
We have bars like that too, but the older folk tend to go to the hole
in the wall or dive bars because there is less younger competition, or less "kids" in general. It's ironic since those looking for action are choosing a smaller pond in order to appear to be a bigger fish.
Another issue is how far a person wants to drive with any amount of alcohol in their system. If you have to drive 30 minutes home through several smaller towns or through suburbs that are known for heavy
police presence, a trip to the tavern 5 minutes away sounds more appealing. Several of the wineries and breweries have their version of
a public house, or "pub," however their prices are considerable more if you're having more than just a f ew drinks with dinner.

I don't think there is any issues going to bars, pubs and clubs at that age. If that it is *all* you do, then there is a problem, but being old shouldn't mean you stop socialising, stop meeting new people, stop having fun. Isn't normal in many places in the world for old people to sit at a bar or cafe? They're enjoying life!

That's fine as you say. I'm referring to people that only spend their spare time in a bar, or at least most of their free time. The maturity thing comes in when there are people who regularly get pissed drunk like they're kids, and
never learned what the term "mind your pints and quarts" means. Have a good time, but don't become an embarrassing drunk in public.
I stopped drinking alcohol in July of 2021 and realized that alcohol was bringing out sides of my personality that I was not a fan of. And I've never really been able to do the "one drink and go home" thing. I think a lot of people can have a decent relationship with alcohol, I'm not one of them, and I'm better off sober.

i dont reach the bottom of the bottle. i just go out to see weird shit and funny shit and get out of the house. i have maybe one beer and i'm big so that beer does nothing to me.

I dunno if I'd say it is ironic. If I were single, I would avoid any bar/lounge whose clientele's average age was less than 40. Folks in their 20s and early 30s look like kids to me, more and moreso as I get older.
I think that's more "natural" than "ironic".

Congratulations. Some never achieve that moment of clarity. I used to work with someone who was not who I imagined to be a drinker, and he
said he had no urges to drink and could have alcohol sitting around the house and never have an urge to drink. Once he does take a drink, he'll drink until he passes out. We're all wired differently, and must learn our limits. That limit
may be none at all.

Yeah, I just tend to find my way into dark places once I get near the firewa
One thing that's interesting is that I don't miss it, my wife drinks wine in for my own sanity and well being.
If i had an accident at work i'd have to take a drugtest, and even if i were legal in my state it still will be against the company rules. so can't take that shit.
Gotcha. California just made it illegal for a company to fire you for recrea
with alcohol they can test your blood alcohol level. i don't think they can do anything with thc right now.
I don't think companies can compel you to take a blood alcohol test either :

The nuclear power generation industry has a formula based on an averag person 's height and weight. If you're larger than average, that maay you a little. They might go for a blood draw and factor in size based charts
for people of different sizes. They could have you blow the breathalz wait an hour, then blow again, and build a scale based on the rate you broke it down. The NRC nad industry take it pretty seriously.
if they find ANY alcohol they should fire the person.
It... depends.
A friend of mine was having a prescription mouth flush every morning before work. ONe day, he was stopped at a traffic control and they made him blow in the alcoholimeter. His readings were "Take him to Police Station" high. WHen they did a blood test, they found 0.0 alcohol. Apparently, the mouth flush h a high alcohol content and messed up the readings \o/
