I’m the opposite, I go to groceries and buy snacks and stuff and pay 100 without breaking a sweat but If I have a 100 bill in a bar I’m in deep depression for the next 3 weeks.
that’s like 3 drinks now
Look at moneybags over here
I think people would rather pay more for entertainment things rather than things required to survive.
Not a bad idea to splurge a bit on something fun every now and then to help with your mental health. Just not too often that it becomes a problem.
Billionaires: fuck you I want gold plating on the 6th level of my new yatch
apart from the people saying this isn’t even true… even if it were, one is a necessity and one is an indulgence. it’s one thing to choose to blow some money for something fun and another to have to spend that much every week for mere sustenance.
To be fair… the bar is far more fun than the grocery store.
Such a boomer meme.
Fancy bars are optional extravagances. Groceries are fuckin not.

You can fit so many drunk nights in this
At my local bars, I tell them I’m (still) unemployed and then ask for the saddest, cheapest, beer. Usually it’s High Life or a sad little green can I can’t remember the name of. $4 or $5. One of them’s a local enough bar that I know most of the bartenders now, at least.
5 dollars for a bad beer?? I pay 3 euros for a great beer!
Genesee, Rolling Rock, Pilsner Urquell, Dos Equis, Harp, or Heineken?
Nobody with any sense is doing this
To be fair 100$ of groceries is like 2 things now.
How? Are you paying like $15+ a pint or something?
0.5l is over 5 euros these days, you can’t even get 20 beers for a hundred.
Australia no joke a pint is about $14 and a cocktail is about $20.
Yup very common in here… designer drinks can be $25-$50 easily
What’s a designer drink and why would I pay 25 dollars for it
It’s what it sounds like, and you almost certainly wouldn’t.
Oh wow, fuck that.
You drink something else than beer.
Normally drink cider
…yes? Is this not common?
Certainly not here anyway, £5 already feels expensive so if it’s that much I will probably only have 1. Can usually find places that sell you a £2-3 pint.
Norwegians complaining/bragging about high alcohol prices is basically a meme. But it’s true that prices have shaped the way we treat going out and partying. BYOB is fully expected at private parties unless anything else is announced. People rarely head out to nightclubs without being properly boozed up from a preparty at someones home. A store bought 0.5L beer could be as low as $2-$3, while a beer at a bar or a club is expected to be ~$12 at a very minimum, but typically slightly above $15.
I want the cheapest I can get one is 10 canadian.
Don’t think I would ever go out at those prices, as it is I drink at home more often than at a pub as it’s at least affordable to do so at home.
Some of us might be drinking more than 6 pints (6 UK pints is about 7.2 US pints). That’s one way.
Another way is paying more than $15 per drink, yes, after including tax and tip in the US. That’s somewhat common in some places, especially if cocktails are involved. Or higher end wine or spirits. Or even certain craft beers.
Your prices are crazy high. I can often get a round for less than that.
I do live in an expensive area, but didn’t mean to imply that the prices I’m describing are the lowest available. Some people choose to go to more expensive places, or order a more expensive option.
Don’t kink shame
Unlike groceries, you don’t need to cook alcohol and clean the glasses when you’re done.
I only pay for my first drink usually 😎 bartab plus cover is like no more than 30 most nights. Groceries though you can easily blow 300 on just a weeks worth these days
Well this isn’t a hack is just female privilege
Buying me a drink and shooting your shot is cheaper than a hooker 🤭 I do my part for the economy
