    This is the opposite of hangouts with my friends. Why would you come by car, you cannot drink then. All my friends come by bike. Cycling while drunk is no issue, as long as there’s proper cycling infrastructure like in The Netherlands where I live. Sometimes there’s someone stupid enough to come by car, they have to pay 7 euros per hour parking fees and have to stay sober all night. But most of my friends don’t even have a car and live within 2km cycling distance. Others who live further away take the train.

    Meanwhile, in the city I just get on the train. Going out and then having to drink your drunk/tired/etc self home is miserable.

    Back in college I used to walk 2 miles to my buddy’s place to party, and then walk 2 miles back to campus hammered if I wanted to sleep in my own bed.

    Good times.

    I dont need lights, I walk about 80% of the way with eyes closed, peeking a bit from time to time.

        Not always the greatest fun. I got “pulled over” walking home one time. I was cutting through a plaza as my complex was behind it. Thankfully in Florida it isn’t illegal to be drunk in public, it’s only illegal to be disorderly or a threat to yourself/others. Which makes sense to me, if you don’t have an open container and aren’t yelling at strangers, walking home is the best option many times. That said it was also ruled years ago in Florida that having a bag of mushrooms in your pocket isn’t illegal. As the courts rules the standard person cannot discern whether or not a mushroom is psychosomatic… Thus people should be able to walk around with foraged or store bought mushrooms as it’s their freedom to enjoy them.

          OK, the main difference for me is, that I live in a rural area so after like 8pm its quite unlikely that you will see anyone while walking home. Especially not in the night and especially not a cop.

    this was me about 30 years ago on a larp where at midnight we came across a mage in a circle… along with a scarecrow… I smacked the scarecrow with my sword and it screamed and lunged at me… I ran away bravely and as fast as possible straight into a tree, dropped my lantern and carried on screaming into the night. the most scared I’ve been in larp, proper suspension of disbelief. thanks for the memory 😆

    Living in the countryside be like. You have to chose between walking or alternatively driving home with your also intoxicated friend. I devinetively did both, but usually the second because my ass was lazy.

    In my defence: It was always in the middle of the night only through back roads and only like 6km or something like that. Hes also a professional stoner, and hes used to driving while being somewhat high. I would not recommend doing it, but it is the downside of living in the countryside.
