Reading your post causes me to recall and miss the Ocktoberfest celebrations I attended and enjoyed in Chicago and in a couple of locations in Wisconsin. However, the Oktoberfest presented in the Orlando Disney Park is a lot of fun as well.

I can't really say whether it's an alcohol vs caffeine thing, but the second picture presents an obviously more companionable setting than the decidedly more solitary perspective of the first photo. Though both are rather pristine and inviting images!

I observe that often both alcohol and coffee are sipped, but other beverages are guzzled. Sipping is far more conducive to lingering conviviality or contemplation. Tossing back a (Coke/glass of water/ light beer) just isn’t the same unless there’s a meal in progress to slow things down.
