Literally nobody surely?

It’s so much cheaper to just buy a couple 12-packs and hang out at someone’s place. Bonuses include - choosing what to put on the TV, not having conversations be interrupted by strangers, and having the ability to crash overnight if you don’t feel comfortable driving home afterward.
I’m not the most outgoing person, and bars/clubs tend to be too loud for my liking. I don’t think those places were made for people like me, so there’s little point in going there when hanging with friends on my back porch is so much cheaper.
Same. I see friends regularly, but almost always as living room chillings.

I'm amused that the implicit limit in your comment, that the thing that makes drinking 10 beers a day impractical, is the cost.
It's not just beers. A coke is 4. Alcohol free beer is also 5. Coffee is about threefiddy. I'm not going to drink coffee all day. A cocktail is between 14 and 18, a mocktail is maybe 2 euros cheaper.

When I was much younger, my friends and I would meet up at the same coffee shop/bistro every day and hang out on the back patio smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, and chatting for hours. That place is no longer in business, and everything is WAY too expensive now... but years later, some of that same group of people meet up damn near every day at a private beach shack for beers, grilling, and swimming.

Living the fucking life man, wow. I definitely had a hang like that in my younger years but all those people are grown and gone, myself included.

I did that 3 days a week, there's nothing impractical about it if you live next to a bar you like. Except, indeed, the cost.

Nobody can afford that shit anymore. That was a 80/90s adult thing. That or a bar @.@ our parents really got the last of it.

Through sheer luck, many of my friends are either single or DINKs, so we've got the free time to hang out. Doesn't hurt that we live on a small island.

I know of several retiree groups that meet up for coffee first thing in the morning.
One day I hope to part of one

I remember my parents went to one once or twice a week in the nineties for a while.
We lived in a tiny town; I'm pretty sure it was the only cafe there.

When more of my friends lived a walkable distance from me it was more the pub round the corner a few times a week. Now people have dispersed a bit, things need to be a bit more scheduled and so we're less likely to fall into a default place
Coffee shops sadly don't tend to be open late so they're not really gonna work as the default place to casually meet mates for anyone in a 9-5 job IMO.
I miss my 24-7 coffee shop! I got to know so many people and still have some great friends from hanging around in the mid aughts to teens. Since COVID the trend seems to be closing earlier. I'm not into it.

Heh, I agree with LordWiggle completely. Pretty easy to put away 12 or so light beers in an afternoon... but I'm not dropping ~$90 to do it! A twelver of Tecates is only $16.50 with deposit - much more reasonable!

No. But in college, we had a pub we would go to for dinner on Wednesday every week with the same group of friends, with the occasional tag along. Does that count?

Did sex in the city use the same cafe all the time? I missed that I guess.

Didn't they used to go the same place for brunch? I could be wrong

Yes, but we call it a bar. Same thing, just less tea or coffee

When I was younger, certainly before kids, yeah, we had a couple different restaurants or bars where we'd meet up fairly regularly, for either a couple beers or some food, or both, or more.
This thread highlights the reality of Lemmy, and how it's representative of only a sliver of the population. The number of people saying "Friends?" is depressing.

wrote last edited by [email protected]When i have local friends, im usually the one who noveltysluts us out of having 'a place' we go to for food when we food. If i dont agitate for variation, it does not occur.
