At no point did I suggest friends can’t hang out and it’s pervasive to do so. I’m not sure where that came from. Perhaps there’s more content back in this thread you were discussing that I missed as I didn’t read it all through, and if so I apologize.

I was discussing why sports bars, generally, are not as popular in Canada as other parts of the world. Based on my experience, it seems far more common for adults to meet with friends for drinks and sporting events in other parts of the world. Even when I go to an international event like the Rugby 7s, the majority of the adults drinking seem to be migrants from outside of Canada.
It seems to be a thing in Canada, particularly in Western Canada, where there are extreme negative connotations associated with meeting with other adults for a few drinks.
It's also something relatively new. Hence, why a sports bar, in a city like Calgary, which is quite sport focused, just cannot succeed.
