    That average person going to school could afford and access? Books and OTA cable were the usual options, now most of that even costs money. Most actually just drank, which of course isn’t a healthy nor really an option we should factor.

      The fact you think all people had to do 50 years ago was read books and drink says enough.

        That was affordable and within access for most college students? I also provided other options… so clearly I don’t think those are the ONLY Options dude… for the demographic we are talking about, that’s the usual places.

        I can name a few, but they all seemingly have the same alcohol theme as well.

        Which demographic are you thinking we are talking about? Provide some options instead of just beaking off. You’re not adding to the discussion here. College students, probably had to rely on public transport. Not everyone is from well off families dude.

          Sounds like you just have an axe to grind about alcohol.

            Or people don’t realize just how prevalent drinking was to be social or entertainment back then.

            I haven’t seen much options presented that don’t reside around drinking, someone suggested taking the train to another city. Thats not an option in the USA, so it sounds like people are talking about their country like it applies to the USA….

        Booze, booze, booze, booze and they don’t have vehicles, so how are they getting to another city?

        Most are centered around drinking while doing an activity.

          None of my examples are centred around booze.

          The train.

          But here are even more examples: Watching a sports game (this one can involve alcohol), playing sports and games, going to the ice /roller skating rink, taking a walk/hike, having a picnic in the park, boat ride on a lake/river, frisbee, hackeysack, board games, jamming out/ making music.

            Nowadays, but back when we are talking about, yeah they all centered around booze.

            In NA there isn’t trains between cities dude…

            Even a large portion of your new ones (other than free public) are all centered around the same main theme, drinking while hanging with friends.

            What about solo entertainment? Most of your options are with other people which isn’t what people do all the time, most entertainment is solo, not with others.
