I’m in the process of doing the above and would like to hear about your experience. Were there any surprises? What was as you expected?

    The selection shrinks… on everything. 30 beers on tap at that nice brewhouse becomes 3 at the local watering hole. 20 different unique restaraunts becomes a subway and a chinese place. Groceries? Sure, enjoy your walmart and dollar general.

      Bar culture is a waste of money anyways.

      You can get more variety at a cheaper price from grocery stores. It doesn’t make sense to pay more money to drink at a bar with people who you’re not close enough to visit each other’s homes.

      Anyone who spends $7 on a shot when an entire bottle costs $12 isn’t using their brain.

          If you’re not living a boring life, then you should naturally come across plenty of different people with plenty of different opportunities to make connections.

          “Meeting people at the grocery store” is a lazy and ignorant excuse to justify going to bars. If you think those are your only two options, then you’re the problem and I pity anyone who gets caught in your web.
