How much do you spend on alcohol?

[Conundrum]

I consider the monthly expense my tithing.

[concretejungle]

Probably about $100 a month.

[Meadow Skipper]

I don't know the total, but I get greeted by name in my LLS.

[bushman]

When I put a new 1/2 barrel in I become more popular, how popular depends on how good the beer is. Funny how that works,... weird not haha. $400.00 a month unless I have good bud, then less.

[Name Redacted]

It's gonna be hard to say for awhile. The booze laws just changed in this state and the electorate succeeded in totally fucking themselves. In exchange for being able to buy booze at the supermarket and privately owned stores instead of state run liquor stores we traded a ~9% sales tax for something closer to 30% booze tax. The price per bottle hasn't changed before taxes and fees but I ended up paying $27 for a $20 bottle of Tequila yesterday.

That is fucked, hopefully it'll work itself out when the laws of supply and demand go to work on it. I remember booze being pretty cheap in WA when I lived there compared to CO.

[liv2ski]

Sounds about right. We average a bottle of wine a night between the wife and me, along with various guests. Average cost is ~$12/btl since we are aware of our habit... it used to be higher. That's ~$350/mo in wine alone - add in a couple bottles of good booze for weekend pre-dinner cocktails and/or digestifs and about a case of good beer for our guests (I drink some, the wife very little) and we're easily at $400.

Damn, we are right there with you and have the same MO.

[spook]

haven't had a drink in at least a couple years. not feeling any big loss, especially out of my wallet.

[PassTheDutchie]

Does this include bar/restaurant tab or just stuff consumed at home? If it's the latter, I'm guessing between the wife (lots of wine) and myself (lots of wine & pricey beer): $50-$70/week.

[The AD]

After some surgery, we'll finally (after three plus years) be able to get pregnant.

That must have been some major surgery if you are now able to get pregnant...

[pappag]

On average, I'm out 3-4 nights a week spending $20-30 per night/day. So that's ~$100/week at the bars. Figure another $20-30 on home consumption/week.

Weekly totals = $120
Monthly = $500

[Kied]

At home - not too much. Maybe two decent bottles of wine a month, a case of PBR and a handle of Ketel. So at most a $100/ mo.

Going out - average $50-75/ week no food included.

So yeah, about the same as most on here at $400/ mo. Damn. Wished I hadn't just realized that - seems like a lot.

[GiBo]

I know I spend enough that the owner of my local liquor store gives me a 10% discount off the top on anything I buy, as much free ice as i want anytime I need it (like when the fridge died) and donated $500 worth of beer for Owen's ski race team benefit auction.

I'll probably drop a couple two tree hundred on the keg of Torpedo and other booze for Owen's birthday party Saturday. We gonna get down y'all!

Hey, my b-day is Saturday! Do Owen and I share the same bday or is that just party day?

For me, between home and out I'm easily in the 2 to 3 hundo range. Damn.

[DaHeel]

On average, I'm out 3-4 nights a week spending $20-30 per night/day. So that's ~$100/week at the bars. Figure another $20-30 on home consumption/week.

Weekly totals = $120
Monthly = $500

And that there folks is why I like hanging with PappaG

[Supermoon]

In my single days, I'd spend between 100 and 300 a week at the bars and at home. So much so, that a few of us have a plaque with our names on it over our seats at the bar we frequented.

Now, the wife and I probably spend about 100-200 a month on wine, beer and whiskey with an occasional night out at the bars here and there.

.... never mind the 5-star meals you get.


THREADJACK - I made THE perfect meatballs known to mankind last week. 2 lbs ground beef + 1 lb ground lamb + 1 lb spicy Italian sausage stuffed with sauteed onions, peppers, roasted garlic, and goat cheese. Egged, coated with panko flakes, braised, and finished off in a pot of homemade tomato sauce (lots of basil and garlic) in low heat over several hours. I know most people (including my mom) use ground veal, but lamb is the way to go and makes a monster of a difference.

[systemoverblow'd]

~$200/month as a guess for home stock. If I go out (I don't much anymore) who da fuck knows.

[SkiCougar]

Well, i live in Houston; so it depends on the time of year.

From September to May; it's probably $100 a month easily, but from May until September; zero.

I concluded that I sweat out alcohol(aka get beer sweats) and at 95 degrees and 95% humidity; it's not worth drinking.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Too much.

yeah, this.

[awf170]

Representing the pussy drinkers of TGR. About $40/month. Like 20ish good beers a month + a few drinks when going out to eat.

$400/month is about what I spend for all my food/drink combined.

[hafilax]

I don't drink much at all. Maybe $20-$30/month on average.

[stuckathuntermtn]

jesus, I prolly spend $20-$30 a week at least.
wow.
that's terrible.

[schwerty]

I better sign up for AA. Our home supply runs my Wife and I $225-350/month. She digs wine. If I saved all my happy hour receipts each month, I could easily tack on another $80-$120 a month.

Good thread. I need to drink more water or switch to milwaukee's best and cheap brown water.

[stuckathuntermtn]

[Jer]

$0.00

I see what you did there.
