What do you do when you go out for a beer with someone?

[FrothySolutions]

What does it mean to go out for a beer? "A beer" doesn't take long to drink. So it must not be about the beer. It's about... something else. You go to the beer place to do something, and the beer is secondary to that. But what?

It's just an expression bro. And the beer (usually multiple) is secondary to the socializing. You go out for a beer to hang out with your friends.

In most places of the world, you go out for a beer to socialize and talk about all sorts of stuff, in US however it seems that drinking is the main objective, people go out and try to drink as much as possible and conversation is just an afterthought.

How do you socialize? What do you talk about? Suppose I'm waiting at the bar to "have a beer" with someone, and in they walk. We're sitting there, and then what?

Ask them what they’ve been up to, what they’re watching on Netflix, do they like sports, etc. Search for common interests with your questions and talk about yourself a bit if it’s related

Are you that autistic?

I've never had a friend I just "hung out" with, unless we had a topic driving our interactions. We always had a game we were in the middle of, or work we had to do.

Anything really, although it's better to discuss about "light" subjects like sports, movies, celebrities, hobbies, etc.
