Get a bicycle, and not just for recreation. It's a convenient way to move around. Depending on your situation, you may be able to get by without owning a car at all. Many cyclists drive irresponsibly, do be careful around them. In an accident between a motorized and non-motorized vehicle, with regards to insurance, it's always the fault of the driver of the motorized vehicle. Drinking and then riding a bicycle is tolerated. Public transport is quite good, especially in the Amsterdam area. Get an OV-chipkaart, set it up so it automatically deducts money from your bank account for maximum convenience. After midnight, services are very limited. This is why you need that bicycle to get home after a night out. Get a debit card, credit cards are not popular and if accepted often involve extra fees. Using a debit card should be free of extra costs no matter how insignificant the amount. When doing the groceries, you should bring your own bags so it might be worthwhile to invest in some sturdy ones. There are some that clip onto the back of bicycles, very convenient. Supermarkets no longer give out free bags. You'll also have to put the groceries into the bags yourself. If you can't yet, learn to swim, for both your own safety and for recreation. There's a lot of water here. Get used to seeing blackface in December. The Dutch have very conservative attitudes about Black Pete, they're changing but a majority doesn't think it's racist.
