>>1101406going to bars only amplifies fun (or active lack of fun/overt sadness) you were gonna have anyway
go with friends you like and itll be great. go with people you dislike and it sucks. go alone with something to do and youll be more productive and feel better once youre too drunk to continue studying. go alone with nothing to do and you'll just feel awkward and have hella bad feels
>>1101420unfortunately also this, pregame first
though its better to think of the cost of drinks being more about the cost of service and your spot at the bar, rather than just purely the cost of the booze
