i mean weekends are so busy that you will be shouting left and right to keep up with conversations and people buzz around like flies from one group to another looking for a good conversation so that's pretty accurate
people tend to pool into groups of 3-6+ so usually finding a smaller group around the area should be fine but if you're meek/sober then you are likely to get spoken over by people drunker and louder than you in big meetups
weekends are good fun but you just have to learn to navigate the chaos to make the best of them, sometimes hopping around instances to see what everyone is doing is the best way if one instance is too packed or too chaotic
