I have heard it suggested that the world would be a nicer place if there were bookstores in which one could simply order a beer, the same way one can today order a coffee.
(It should be noted that the ‘order a coffee’ thing is only a decade or two old.)
OK, to be honest, I’m having a bit of trouble understanding this thread. Find people drinking in bookstores, libraries? I’m confused. (In school buildings, certainly possible, if we’re talking about parties in grad student offices, but then that falls into a case where things seem pretty clear, and I’m only likely to be around if I know some people anyway.)
Oh, pardon me. That was not particularly a serious recommendation. At least, not one that is likely to become relevant all that often. I was mostly being lighthearted so as to signal rapport with sixes as opposed to complete disagreement.
Best yet, find the people consuming alcohol in the place where you find lots of books. They’re bound to be up for a chat.
