Same here.
Didn't bring that up because of the thread topic. Also these activities used to be taboo at certain events.
The lads and some gals too would often call them safety breaks. I began to skip group rides that were more about a party atmosphere than actually doing epic rides.
Now I'm no saint or anything. I think it's fine for people to do what they want as long as it's responsible and in respect of the context.
I should probably go back and read all the pages in this thread. I skipped a few pages.
