Yeah going to bars is pretty boring, it just doesn't achieve anything, plus it negatively affects your mental and physical health. It's like paying to slowly kill yourself.

Perhaps they called you out because they're concerned about you.

The realistic alternative to going to a bar alone (as somebody who has gone to bars alone) is drinking alone at home. That isn't really any better for you because at least there is a decent chance to have some social interaction at a bar (unless you specifically avoid it).

Thinking that somebody else at a bar calling him a loser is looking out for his best interest is a little ridiculous

I disagree
