Our response is, "'The sex is Worse". What's your opinion?

So if person was drunk and ——monger before they came to villages I doubt the villages will change their lifestyle. IMO it will probably get 10 times worse… : what do you think?

Ahhh, of course. My assumption is always Sister in Law because I have several, but not a single son in law can I claim. While I did, indeed, assume, the reference was still vague. However, I should have gleaned the proper usage via context. Mea culpa offered.

I have people in my village that were already big on various things before moving to TV. Pickleball, golf, drinking, crafting etc. Almost all have taken their "hobbies" to unprecedented levels here.

In my opinion, there is far more drinking in The Villages than sex. I’m aware of two or three dozen swinging couples in The Villages. No, they aren’t usually interested in including a single guy. One of the difficulties is that people may come here as active swingers with a couple happy decades of doing that, but age catches up with them. By around seventy both the women and the men are less exciting to look at. With a swinging couple, both people have to be interested in getting together with another couple. That cuts the likelihood of a meeting of the, um, minds in half. Year be year this loss of interest grows. Meeting a couple for a swinging episode or hosting a swinging party gradually comes to seem like more trouble than it’s worth. Sometimes as they age, swinging couples get together to be around other people like themselves, yet they just eat and drink and chat without playing. There are of course variants. I knew a man who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for inventing a way to get plastic to carry electrical current, making possible all of our iPhones and iPads. At 79, he was still active, though the frequency had decreased. He still enjoyed the parties.

However, drinking pretty much maintains its appeal.

I saw a couple pull up to a village postal station yesterday. Both had an open beer can in their hand.
Yes it was beer. Didn't even have a foam thermo around it, right outa the cooler for a quick one.

The culture of the villages encourages alcohol consumption, happy hours starting at 11 AM, at a golf orientation put on by the villages staff, the speaker talked about having alcohol after 9 holes. It’s promoted by the culture here

Just got back from a cruise. In the shuttle back to the parking lot got hammered on the STD thing! Sigh.
