We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Considering how expensive it's getting, kinda relatable and one of the biggest reasons why i almost quite drinking all together. Have to find cheaper addictions to replace it.

No kidding! I used to get the hard mtn dews, they were 12 cans for $10. Just the other day at Meijer, $24.99. I don't really drink other than the occasional good drink. That or the Monster, only bc surprisingly both are caffeine free-which is why I can drink them.

Meijer still has good prices last I checked, 12 to 14 IPA's for 18 dollars, or like 20 for 30 pbr cans. Same as last year and the year before.

I'm not a beer drinker anymore, usually hard liquor, but the dew or monster I can't normally have from a caffeine sensitivity. Plus, not as filling

Ah, idk about liquor prices, it's price controlled in my state, or at least was it seems like some stores are charging a lot more now idk if they relaxed it.

But traveling to other states I saw liquor go for 2x what it does here.

Cant recall what the price was when i significantly reduced the amount i drink. That was nearly 5-6 years ago, just that thanks to alcohol tolerance increasing rapidly showed a rather bad trend. By the end if was around a six pack and couple of shots of vodka every evening to get the buzz going.

Now i do drink only a handful of times a year during some events and when that alcohol is paid for by someone else.
