Men are so unseemly when they whine like little girls about their social life - dude, grow a pair
In my area bars have pool and dart leagues; great way to both hang out with your existing friends and meet new people (as well as scout out new bars when your team plays “away”). Naturally, some people are alcoholics with dramatic personality changes as the night goes on (and the BAC goes up), but you can also meet great people who aren’t dependent on alcohol.
