Yeah, but all it takes is for that one time, one person, and one too many drinks, and a life could be taken, and that is not all. There is a huge domino effect, the family of the deceased suffers, and if it is a person who works to support a family, that entire family will forever suffer emotionally, as well as financially. The family of the drunk, well they too will suffer emotionally as well as financially. I guess you can tell I am against drinking, even socially, then driving anything. You may feel sober, but that breathalyzer may indicate otherwise. So, if a club like this forms, and I happen to see any of your club members leaving an establishment and drive in a golf cart, I will report it. I hope this club never gets off the ground. Think about how much that one drink to many could cost you.

BTW, I also think this person is not serious. Just in case I am wrong, I got to say how I feel.

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

We Parrot Heads call it "Party With A Purpose". LOL

I must say, I get a little sensitive when people associate the Parrot Heads with just drinking.

At the end of the year with all the things we collect (Toys For Tots, Clothing, St. Theresa's Soup Kitchen, Items for Haven House, Caring Hands Food Bank, Ocala Forest Families, Operation Backpack, etc.)

The money we give (Hospice, Honor Flight, All One Family, Lazarus Free Medical Clinic, Boggy Creek, Helping Hands, Veterans, etc.)

The hours we give (Cleaning the Lakes and Ponds, Habitat For Humanity)

Our Scholarship program.

I could take a whole page listing the people and organizations that we help !!
We give well over $90,000 a year to charitable organizations.

Please don't list us as a drinking club !!!!!

I think he is pulling our collective legs.

He's not pulling my leg. I must have been out of town when they were taking up the collection.

Very well said and very true.

No objection. I assume everyone will act responsible. Might call it a Social Club that meets at various bars in the community.

I am hoping to move to the Villages. I love drinking some beer to the extinct that I would be safe at driving home. I would drink like a beer or two an hour and get to meet people, preferable guys at the local golf courses or pubs in the community. I hope to find a place this fall or early winter. I guess this all depends on affordability........

Scotch clubs are very popular in other areas, but it's an expensive club.

Scotch infused with chocolate was an item Paul Giamatti shared with his TV wife on Billions. I thought drop the scotch and increase the chocolate

This is hearsay but I was just told the bars in Spanish Springs are always filled.

I really don't know or care if the OP is fishing my comments are not directed to OP but the friendly posters on this thread

You won't have any trouble finding what you mentioned. All 12 country clubs have bars within their restaurants, and most restaurants have bars. We even have 2 World of Beer locations if you like that sort of thing. You won't find $1 Natural Light draft anywhere, but I think most beers at most establishments is affordable. And most places have a happy hour. Thankfully, not all but most people here drink responsibly.

There already is a "Drinking Club". It is called AA and welcomes new members
You may want to try it if you are driven to drink alone or with many friends.
