    I’m a dive bar frequenter. Here’s my list:

    • I like to drink

    • It’s easier than drinking at home. I could go to the store, lug a 12 pack all the way up front, stand in line, lug it to my car, drive home, lug it up the stairs to my apartment, have it taking up space in my fridge. Or I could just stop at the bar on my way home from work, stumble in, ask for a beer, drink a couple, hand the bartender my card, then stumble out and drive the rest of the way home.

    • I have a tiny apartment and it’s nice to get away

    • Even if I don’t really socialize, it’s nice to just be around other people

    • I go with my partner a lot, and they’re better at striking up conversations with strangers

    • one of the servers at my local (actually a bar and grille, but sue me) flirts with me a lil bit

    • the dive bar I go to with my partner has a hole in the wall that lets you order tacos from the place next door, and they only charge $2 for Wells on Taco Tuesday
