Entertainment costs far more for example, lots didn’t even really have entertainment than books.
This is a bizarre statement. People have had entertainment since society has been a thing. It may not always look like what you do, but it has always been around, and yes, it was more than “books”.
That average person going to school could afford and access? Books and OTA cable were the usual options, now most of that even costs money. Most actually just drank, which of course isn’t a healthy nor really an option we should factor.
That was affordable and within access for most college students? I also provided other options… so clearly I don’t think those are the ONLY Options dude… for the demographic we are talking about, that’s the usual places.
I can name a few, but they all seemingly have the same alcohol theme as well.
Which demographic are you thinking we are talking about? Provide some options instead of just beaking off. You’re not adding to the discussion here. College students, probably had to rely on public transport. Not everyone is from well off families dude.
But here are even more examples:
Watching a sports game (this one can involve alcohol), playing sports and games, going to the ice /roller skating rink, taking a walk/hike, having a picnic in the park, boat ride on a lake/river, frisbee, hackeysack, board games, jamming out/ making music.
Nowadays, but back when we are talking about, yeah they all centered around booze.
In NA there isn’t trains between cities dude…
Even a large portion of your new ones (other than free public) are all centered around the same main theme, drinking while hanging with friends.
What about solo entertainment? Most of your options are with other people which isn’t what people do all the time, most entertainment is solo, not with others.

The fact you think all people had to do 50 years ago was read books and drink says enough.

Theatre, live music events, cinema, arcades, the county fair, going to see another city
Booze, booze, booze, booze and they don’t have vehicles, so how are they getting to another city?
Most are centered around drinking while doing an activity.
None of my examples are centred around booze.
The train.
