Drinking
Drinking, in its broadest sense, means consuming any liquid. In social contexts the word most often refers to the consumption of alcoholic beverages as part of a shared occasion — at a pub, party, or celebration.
Social drinking and pub culture
Social drinking — consuming alcohol in the company of others — has been a cornerstone of European pub culture for centuries. Pubs and bars provide a regulated environment where guests can drink responsibly and interact. Formats such as pub crawls are built around social drinking, moving groups through several venues over the course of an evening.
