    This can be a problem for people not in or near a city. Hell I live 40 miles from St. Louis and I struggle to find groups without them being the kinds of people I’d feel uncomfortable around. Like I love movies, but every film group I can find are the ones that want to watch movies while drunk or go get drunk afterwards. I can’t stand being around people drinking alcohol cause they tend to always be annoying (from personal experience anyway cause I’ve never been around a pleasant drunk person). Same thing happened when I finally saw a video game group on Meetup. Granted it seemed odd cause it was at someone’s home, but I signed up for it. Only for the host to message everyone the night of telling us how much alcohol he had and where to put more at without mentioning if they had any non-alcoholic drinks.

      Yeah, I quit drinking, so I get that, especially in places where that’s the main form of entertainment. I’m not surprised my advice doesn’t account for everybody, we’re all on our own journeys, and the world ain’t necessarily easy mode
