I get why you're digging at them, but there was a period in my life I went to the bar after every workday. Now I have a child. But back then, that's just how I met new people and socialized. Now I... just don't really meet new people. Maybe I'll start meeting other parents soon when it's kindergarten time, but that's about it.

I think this depends most on what kind of city you live in. I had an 8 minute walk from office to bar, and a 4 minute walk from bar to home. And the bar was on the way anyway.
