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...

A 30 of Natty here is about $15. A typical night probably means that is split three ways for the pregame. Then you go to the bar, pay a $3 cover and get 2-3 drinks at average of $4-5 each. Then maybe you grab a sandwich on the way home for $4. That's $20 right there for a very calm night. Things can ratchet up quickly from there. On thursdays we get margaritas because they are on special for $13 a pitcher. But there are no deals on friday and saturday. I tend to go out 2-3 times a week. It adds up fast. I don't plan on doing this forever, but that's the scene right now.
