Well, maybe I overemphasized the alcohol. The point is that these kinds of communities have to have unstructured socializing, they can’t just be purely goal-based. A club that hosts lectures, for instance, is all very well, but unless it has parties afterwards I don’t think it’ll have the same serendipitious spill-over effects into your whole life.
I get a lot of the same experience via the community theatre group I work with, though perhaps with less alcohol.

Yeah, I agree. Though I also find that actually doing something together does help.
