My stepfather owned a bar for some decades. It's not quite as social as you would imagine. A great many people go there to drown "around" people, but not necessarily to drown "socially".

Doesn't that even more show the value of just being around other people? It's definitely a lot cheaper to drink your own booze at home.

And that's what people do when e.g. they care more about economic considerations than social stigma of drinking alone.
