Groups of Men Drinking mid-day in Prospect Park

In the last few days, I've seen several groups of grown men drinking in the woods, along the ponds, etc. in Prospect Park, mid- to late-afternoon. I'm a SAHM and I take my dogs for walks in the woods all year round and I've never seen so many men and so many groups of men hanging out mid day.

It really struck me: These guys have nothing to do. As my husband said, they're trying to get away from their wives who are bugging them to find jobs. It also, frankly, made me worry about what's to come.
