This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dude has a point though. In cinemas in the Netherlands you can just buy big ass beer bottles anyway so what's the bfd
Having a large beer vs getting very drunk on liquor is quite different, no?
Not when you're a lightweight like me!

The Americans and their Puritan BS.
We have movie theaters here in the US that let you buy and drink alcohol too.
Alamo Drafthouse is the superior movie watching experience. Also if that dad talked to you like OP, you could get him kicked out!
They even have a bar at AMC now too. It's gone mainstream
I am not generally a movie goer. I prefer watching at home where I control the temperature, food, volume, company, and amount of floor stickiness.
That being said, my friends drug me to the Alamo Drafthouse a couple of years ago to catch a movie and I LOVE that place. It's comfortable, the food is edible (not great, but not gross), and I can get completely schnookered while watching their throwback movies or the graveyard shift.
So now I actually hit the theater from time to time.
yeah, I just hate when the floor isn't sticky enough!
It ain't a real movie theater unless I'm in danger of losing a shoe.
I won’t even watch a movie out anymore if I can’t have a beer or three in the theater :p
Yours might be the best (and/or most concerning) username I've encountered here so far :)
Since allegedly the whole cinema was full of "parents and children", it clearly was a afternoon screening.
Like, just go to a late screening if you want to drink?
Don't tell me when to drink in public.
Damn straight
Ha ha, yeah
👀
Same in California theaters and some in Arizona that I can confirm, probably all over the US tbh.
Proof of this greentext being fake and OP was paying more attention to the dad than the movie, proof of OP being gay.
Those are adult-only theaters where you'll be carded upon entry. The OP clearly wasn't at one of those.
Literally no. Cinemark theaters AND Alamo drafthouse in Socal, most if not all pretty much have beer on tap and bottled/canned and I can confirm Cinemark even has wines, they just card you when you order. Just go to their website and check. I was there (cinemark) this past weekend to see imaginary, inspite of its poor reviews I enjoyed it for what it was. Alamo draft house theaters only card you when you order alcohol too, I recommend them, their food is actually great too.
I know op wasn't in one of those theaters I was just making the classic 4chan fake and gay joke.
Huh, cool!
My area is a bit more puritan, and I think they're required by law to be separate entities, so I guess I assumed that was pretty consistent nationwide.
