I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

no need for a fenceI'm not against pubs, they do indeed serve a lot of good purposes (the social cohesion for one thing, as you mention). I'm just saying that for me personally, a pub is not the best place for drinking, seeing friends, meeting new people or getting to know the people who live in my neighbourhoud.
Perhaps is has to do with the area in which one lives, but I still know my neighbours, we say hello, even have real conversations, and if something were wrong with one of them, I'd know without going to a pub for it.
What surprises me is the fact people so heavily defend pubs, it seems like you MUST spend time in them, lest you become a social paria. There are a lot of people who love and need pubs, but I'm not one of them, which is why I very rarely visit one.
