Chad regularly rides his fixie bike to Max's Tavern on weeknights. He socializes with friends and strangers there, enjoying local beers and cigarette breaks outside. As the night progresses, Max's gets crowded and loud as Chad gets drunk dancing on tables. He either stumbles home or finds a place to stay after the bar closes around 2 AM. Sarah enjoys starting her nights at Rennie's, watching football and socializing with friends over pitchers of beer or lemonade. As the night gets later, more people flood in and say hello to Sarah, who lives nearby and isn't concerned with overdrinking since she can walk home. Matt goes to Taylor's Bar on weekends
