Skip the alcohol and go to a modern laser tag arena with friends. Insanely fun. They somehow got the Halo 2/3 announcer over a massive intercom system, and they have similar games. Feels like a match from when we were kids!
No.
Depends on the arena. The one in my area, absolutely zero chance of them ever being that cool.
Also, I wouldn't skip the alcohol. How else would I have had a couple full bottles of sake on my 21st if I had skipped it?
We have inexpensive arcades as well, which are a ton of fun. $5 gets you about an hour of entertainment, and I wouldn't go over 10 because you'll probably get bored of the games before you use up your credits if you put too much on it.
Some other options:
These all cost money, but probably not much more than drinking, and they're generally more enjoyable without alcohol. You can show up alone and have a great time, and there's just enough social interaction that you won't feel so alone.
But maybe this is my millenial side showing.
