This is not just because of the alcohol, in any part ofethe world men will be men. This is the reason why people are getting more and more drinks and making problem. It is true most of the elite people consider it a place for discussion and for fun, while the normal man can't afford and spend on those activities same as the wealthy one's.
It is what they called socialization. Drinking alcohol is also part of it. Besides the drink is the key to better understanding to one self and to others. It is the feeling that could not be feel if not one is not drunk. This is why a place like traditional casino are having this so that one can make socialization and not only to alcohol but also to gambling.activity. The place is creates for the sole purpose of having fun and winding up.with friends from the stress outside or from work and or business if onr is a business owner.
Traditional gambling will not be spared from drinking alcohol in front of the gambling table because it is part of the men according to them, but if it can not control our control then this will be a problem for us while having fun with gambling is not a good thing especially with mediocre money for the addict will do it to begin with.
For people maybe yes, socialization and discussion with alcohol are used.
There are many reasons why casinos offer drinks, some people like to drink while they are gambling in order to lose their inhibitions a little bit and have more fun, some like to drink in order to forget about their problems or about the losses that they have suffered in the casino, but there is a lot of social drinking as well, for example where I live is very common that when a business deal is closed successfully people go to the casinos to celebrate and people do this in order to create a bond with each other and maybe make business with each other again.
