I don't, myself, but a lot of people in the UK have `local' pub within walking distance where they are known on sight as a `regular' and can usually find someone to chat with. Another pattern (which, again, I don't actually do!) is to use public transport to get to a particularly popular pub or bar, read the evening paper, have a few drinks to relax with, and strike up some conversations.
