I would also like to add that society discourages friendship through social activities such as a local bar. Whereas years ago it was rather expected you would go to a local establishment every night because that was where people would meet and discuss the events of the day/week.
Now if you are a regular drinker you are made to be seen as an outsider because of regulations and such.
Also, this isn't even an alcohol thing. Years back this was a coffee house thing because it was simply a meeting point for people to discuss ideas. Which at the end of the day is always bad for the powers that be.
