I'm with you----going to bars is a waste of time and money.  Many good people have left a bar only to kill someone from behind the wheel.   Alcohol causes more deaths of innocent people then any other substance .  Given all the damage alcohol was done it's sad we still celebrate making it legal .  Thankfully smoking cigarettes is in decline .   We shouldn't be jumping for joy over legalizing pot . Two wrongs don't a make a right.  In Alaska we need fewer people screwed up--not more.   How did all those screwed up pot people get home that night ? Now we have two groups to fear driving impaired on our roads.
