>The conversations are more memorable and deep and happen at coffee shops, restaurants or on our way to those places. If you have never used alcohol / went to bar, then how do you know if you dont know the perspective? After alcohol people are more open tho.

I didn’t say I never went to a bar or pub. I still end up in one once a year or two. Every time it’s just wasted. My friends say less interesting things more slurred. You don’t realize how stupid you have to become to find drunk people conversations interesting. Jenga can be fun only if you’re playing with a kid or if a drug has knocked most of your cerebral cortex offline.

  Drinking doesn't mean getting drunk, except to college kids. No friend of mine ever drinks to the point of slurring speech, it's a sign of a problem in an adult and quite distasteful. Drinking with friends is fun, getting drunk is stupid.

  One beer != drunk, it is just atmosphere adjuster

  You mistake your very personal opinions for universal facts. A lot of people enjoy Jenga and other dexterity games. It's just not your cup of tea. But please stop telling yourself that you not liking Jenga is a sign of superior intellect.

  Jenga enjoyment doesn’t really have much to do with cerebral cortex functioning imo. It’s a simple game with simple rules, some minor stakes, and no capacity for completely bullshit strategies where a smug asshole can ruin the game for everyone else. This makes it broadly appealing, allows people to jump in and out as needed, and gives a conversation to be had around while not hoarding up the conversation with the game itself. This reads like someone who is justifying their personal choices by putting down the choices of others. If you don’t drink, don’t drink, but also there’s no reason to go out and build straw man arguments about drinkers.

  Alcohol is often lovingly referred to as a social lubricant. While some people (such as yourself apparently) have great social skills out of the box others like myself occasionally require the help of some Dutch courage when acting outside of our comfort zone and I think it is unfair to judge us so harshly for it.
