I can drink a bhottle of bheer at home a lot cheaper than I can bhuy it in a pub, but I can't get the experience of socializing with a group of other bheer-drinkers. And even if the pub serves ghood bheer, the presence of the 100 gin/whisky/CocaCola^([sic])/springwater "multi-genre" drinkers may make it sufficiently difficult to find the other 5 bheer fans in the crowd, that it dilutes the bheerish experience and makes it more worth my while saving my bheer budget for going down the road to the other pub that may have a smaller selection of bheer but a higher concentration of the people I want to drink with.
