Hey. Bar conversations can be very fun and enlightening at the same time. Do you know how many Vietnam war veterans, ex special op guys etc I have met this way and learned about their fascinating experiences?! Also, sometimes, at bars, you get to meet some guys who have been unfortunate enough to get into financial trouble, and you get to help them a little and get the satisfaction of doing a good deed!
On a serious note, I prefer sitting at bars, drinking and listening to and telling past experiences, to basejumping or skydiving. I have recently quit drinking but it was almost all fun while it lasted; nearly 4 decades ๐
Anyway, to each, his/her own.
