I looked for a previous thread about a drinking club but did not find anything, so I thought I would forge ahead.

I'm a bachelor who likes to drink in bars. In the past I have been lucky enough to have been part of large groups of guys (and gals as well) who share my interest and so have always had a group to be involved with.

I know there will be many who will not approve of my idea of a drinking club. I don't care how they feel or what they think of me for my ideas.

I would like to know if there is interest in establishing a group who might meet on various nights at various watering holes here in the villages to share our common interest?

The comments and responses should be interesting, don't you think?

To each his own; just accept the consequences and don't bad mouth the Police when you get nailed for a DUI. Or, god forbid, you run over someone after you and your bro's leave your "watering hole". Full disclosure - I arrested hundreds of DUI's in my career.

Are you serious ?

A club focusing on drinking???? On the surface, doesn't sound healthy or safe.

Bad PR approach. Try watching football game club, NHL fan club, book club or trivia club, etc. Remember to recruit designated drivers though as well.

OP. According to your past posts you have been here since July of 2012. Certainly you have ascertained that a lot of folks go out drinking every night.


Now about forming a club, Would you have minutes and collect dues? Would you do that before or after you drink?


If you were in a club, would you save seats? Would one be a designated driver? How would your club work? Would there be an age cut off or a drink cut off or a uniform or a club song? Would you get sponsors from Booze manufacturers?


Inquiring minds want to know. I have a feeling I won't be welcome in this one either. I don't drink. Thank God it isn't because I am too old.

I have not drunk since law school and that was just trying to be social with the other people in Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners. When in Denver at the University of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management a group of us would go out drinking a few times a week but this was just fruit flavored margaritas. If we were really going to get drunk we would walk to one of bars around the University of Denver. I had one night of binge drinking and never have done that again. That was around 1984. I hated losing control of myself like that and throwing up all over various Denver streets and bars.

I seldom did any drinking while we lived in Reno, Nevada and fitted in well with the people at BYU Law School at least as far as drinking habits were concerned. There could have been Mormons there that said one thing and did another but I was only there ten days or so but if Mormons need lawyers then they probably break various laws.

Try Parrotheads. They love to party and do good things while they're at it.

Otherwise, find a bar or two you like, become a regular, be friendly and you'll have your social group in no time.

OP has been here since 2012. Should have found a watering spot by now.


I think he is pulling our collective legs.

There are drinking clubs around the country. Some are organized but most are as others have mentioned---sports clubs, social clubs etc. etc. There is one where "we came from" and they called it "the loser's club". No kidding! Sorry to say---it was full of people who absolutely drink too much. Is this what you have in mind?

Which is why they were called losers

\I believe what this poster is saying is he wants to start a drink tasters type club much like a wine tasters club except with other types of liquor...These types of clubs are very responsible and very rarely gets intoxicated , its all about the history of the drink.
