Of course, we would often "stay in" to drink in the winter. A 30-pack of Natural Ice was around $10. So split 3 ways with tax, that worked out to around $4 to get drunk...
I belonged to a "party house". You could go there and drink, no charge. But if you were a "regular", you were expected to pay for a keg, once a tri-mester. The beer was "Busch" beer and it ran $20/keg. I was a "Busch-buddy"
