    Bars aren’t really a great solution. Alcohol has a number of downsides. They’re expensive. They’re often loud.

    It would be cool if we had a wider variety of third places.

      I might drink alcohol maybe one in a dozen-or-so times I visit a bar. Europeans visit taverns and pubs just like visitting any other restaurant. It would be cool if more Americans had a healthier relationship with alcohol, instead of living like there’s nothing between permanent and/or total inebriation, versus absolute sobriety.
