Taking a valium with some beer is just like having an extra beer, it's only when you reach high doses does it become a bit more risky. I know a couple of people who have taken up to 1000mg of Diazepam after drinking a bottle of vodka and came to little harm.
Well, let's summarize it with that I'm taking medical advice against your opinion and some abstract testimonies (which carry no value to me).

Seeing as you don't do hostels how can you accurately comment on the people who stay in them? You've no idea the reasons people chose to stay and I can assure you not everyone is staying in a hostel because they feel uneasy on their own, there are people out there who like meeting new people.
It is possible to make an educated guess. And, according to your own description, my guess was quite accurate. But, then, I lost the point you're trying to prove. Hostels work for you - go for it. I think they do not work for me, so I am not going to stay there anyway. What is your point?

It's not always about being 'dirt cheap' just choosing to spend money more wisely so you can stay on the road for longer or spend money saved on pointlessly expensive accomodation on more fun activities. Not everyone needs to spend hundreds of bucks a night for a bed when there's another one available for a fraction of the price.
This is why I said it is unlikely we'd find anything to talk about or even click. My travel is limited by the time available, not by money available. Our interests therefore are significantly different, as "staying on the road longer" is not an option I pursue or even consider, and the concept of "traveling to save money" is pretty weird for me. This is why I said we won't click; you can actually see it right here. And we've been walking around it back and forth for several messages - again, what is your point?

Yet you still find them a hardship. Nothing wronf with any trains I've taken in EE / Balkans.
I said "much less appealing", not "hardship". If you quote me, please do it right.
To summarize, I don't really understand what you're trying to prove as we've been going back and forth on a subject. That you can stay in hostels and have fun, or that this is viable or even preferable option for some people because of financial or socializing reasons? I never said it is not the case, this is just not the case
for me.
