Bar Counseling

I'm finding it great that "sigfig" and I can go Christmas shopping, get what we need to done in 20 minutes.  We both absolutely hate to shop, then we can go to the sports bar for my favorite german wheat beer, and receive the best group counseling session EVER!!!
I can't get "sigfig" to ever see a counselor at any other point, yet...somehow, in this bar setting, any of these folks would pour their heart out to a bunch of strangers, at any given point.  My advice to all psychiatrists and counselors is they throw out their old ways, instead of handing out pills later, they just go to the bar, hand every one a beer that wants one, and just set them in the ambiance of "the bar", and the psychiatrist should just roam around behind the bar like a bartender.  It would make the whole situation so much more comforting to so many more people.
Give people mock beers or mock drinks, put them in a dimly lit area with sports playing in the background, eventually they will pull the information out of each other and just counsel one another, usually someone has had it rougher than another one, they can one up the other one or explain how they got through it better or easier. 
Bar Counseling, thats my new answer to lifes problems, put us all in a room and have us solve each others problems, because in a room full of bar goers, someone there is bound to have seen it, been through, or done it, and it was a way bigger deal than you ever thought of having.
