>>9766428 One of our local rep cinemas has had it's programmer streaming stuff for the last 3 years usually once a week.
It's usually old and weird t.v. stuff like the Weird Science T.v. show, takes from the crypt, buffy, x-files, saved by the bell, and depending on episode length about 7 or 8 episodes of stuff with appropriate "drinking rules"
This means I usually with have a glass/ bottle can of something once and a while but only drink more than that once a week. And at that time I'm drinking and riffing with "people". I don't usually drink a lot anyway but when I do there are people around even if you are just steaming this. My GF does this as well and as well as the streaming service we chat over steam at the same time.
The pandemic hasn't really increased things drink-was as I don't some shows but again watching includes not "drinking alone" and you have people you can vent to and just have fun with.
We actually got together a while ago as some shutdowns ended and plan on doing it irl more often.
It only costs you what you are drinking so that's okay as well.
