Wrong thread.

I did some rough math and it looks like about $150-200.

Probably about $100 or so. I average about three bar nights a month, plus tailgates.

Assuming 3 nights out for dinner and 3 drinks each or share a bottle of wine = $25 X 3 = $75/month

I don't go to bars anymore just to drink except for special occasions, so that is for the most part zero.

We drink/share with neighbors about 4 bottles of wine a week, or 16 per month, with monthly discounts that add up to about $6/bottle that is $96/month

Don't drink spirits much, haven't had bourbon in over a year. Wife likes Bacardi and I'll get the occasional bottle of Bombay gin - so maybe $20/month

Wife doesn't drink beer, and I don't drink much other than Guinness and the occasional import - maybe $15?

So around $200, with the biggest portion (dinner outside the house) often being reimbursed.

For awhile, but then I just moved to drugs involving shared syringes

I didn't realize alcohol was so expensive in space.

Any of that is expensive? That is relatively inexpensive wine (typically the most expensive form of beverage) and medium shelf liquor. We don't drink Johnny Blue or $100/bottle crazy expensive wines.

1.5 cases of Miller Lite per week = 6 cases per month = 6 x ~$18 = $108

After that, it's just random.

Probably $50-$75 a month. Usually buy a 12 pack on Friday, and maybe a 6 pack during the week. Rarely an extra 12 pack is needed on Saturday.

Maybe $50 on average. Only really drink maybe once a month. Also keep a bottle of Crown that I go through every 3 months.

I do.....but down a really steep hill

I don't see much dishonesty on here. A lot of 23-29 year old single guys on here that love sports.....they are gonna run up some big tabs.

You actually think people are lying about how much they spend on alcohol? Like that's some sort of accomplishment?

I think people are not aware of the actual money spent. The numbers look low to me.

My average is going to kick up because of last weekend.

Dad's weekend at OU. I can still hang with the kiddos though.

I retired from drinking seval years ago. Prior to that, I could spend several hundred dollars per month. I was an outlier who never knew when to say when.
