Because there is literally no area in the world where you HAVE to do this.

Where the hell did this "I MUST go to the bar, I have no choice!" stuff from you and people like SephG come from
I don't have to go to the bar. I don't go to the bar. I have basically very little friends now because of it, but that's fine for me.

When I was young and felt bulletproof, I didn't think things pertained to me. I felt like I could drink and drive better than a Nascar pro if he challenged me. My friends were at the bar. If you wanted to have friends, if you wanted to meet girls, you went to the bar. It was as simple as that. You aren't meeting people otherwise besides maybe a Myspace hook up here and there. *Shrug*. My family all drink and drove basically every day. It was pretty ingrained not to be a big deal and as long as you drove fine it wasn't a big deal. Every single person at the bar every night was drinking and driving down to literally almost every last person there. Hell even the bartenders many nights.

I was young. I felt invincible, and I wasn't. And it was dangerous. I could have lost my life or caused others to lose theirs easily back then. I was very careless before my first DUI. Very. And I totally plan to try and stop my kid and my fiancees kid from following in those footsteps by having them understand the consequences first. The video of the 3 girls from canonsburg or whatever who basically snap chatted their voyage drinking all night and all died at age 21 hit hard also like 5 years back.

So, I adjusted. Tried the hey live the same life but adjust it thing. Realized on the second DUI that plans can go awry.

On the third DUI, much later and much more recent I was leaving a wedding. I barely drink anymore at that point. Almost never at bars without rides. I felt I was fine. Everyone thought I was fine. The bartender counted my drinks to not allow me to drink over 1 per hour. Apparently I wasn't fine. Now I just don't drink at all outside of home unless staying at someone's house after or my fiancee is going to pick me up and has my car.

*Shrug*

I don't think feeling you have to go to the bar to be apart of the social scene when you are young is especially an unknown concept.

I mean, I wouldn't have met my fiancee or had my child if I hadn't lived that life either. And, I also didn't grow up in the household or area maybe you necessarily did either.

I have had a lot of growing up from what I felt was normal life to my life now, bud.
