How much do you spend on alcohol a month?

[yvr girl]

Both what you buy at bars and at liquor stores.

I think I average about $20 per month.

[Teaser]

1. Not enough.

not enough at all.

[Double T]

2. Not Enough

If things stay on their present coarse, I'll be medicating a lot MORE!!

[Spinzonner]

3. 50 cents

rubbing and antiseptic

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My husband and I don't normally go in bars...so that's out.

We normally drink at home. I probably spend about $30.00/month on the giant bottle of bourbon I buy...And mostly my husband drinks it before dinner every night. I rarely have any.

:hi:

[warrens]

5. Cheapo

[Droopy]

6. About $30 a month

I don't go to bars. I just go down to the store and buy an 18 back of beer when I want it.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. $0.00

[Cha]

8. 000 000 000 000 000 000 000

ZERO, ZILCH, ZIP, NADA!

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Ditto

[TroubleMan]

10. I drink one 32oz of malt liquor every Saturday night .....$2 and change

So that's less than $10.00 per month. Unless the kids happen to be staying at their grandparents house, which is every now and then. In that case I might have two or three.

I can't get 40's....I'm in Florida. Apparently they're against the law here.

[hyphenate]

11. About.....$0 eom

[Merrick]

12. Probably about $75

I'm a real drunk

[Droopy]

13. Either that or you have expensive tastes in alcoholic beverages

[Merrick]

16. Umm... not really a connoisseur, no

Actually, most of that is accounted for by the two or three times a month I hit up a bar, where a few drinks will cost you like $20.

[ovidsen]

14. When I used to drink

It was probably around $80 a month.

I didn't drink much in bars, but I always drank top shelf beer, wine and rye when I imbibed at home or at a watering hole.

I probably could have saved if I chugged Bud, jugwine and no name spirits, but I actually DID drink for the taste. Mostly. Sort of.

And I only drank at night. Well, sometimes in the evening, but mostly at night. I did tip a few in the afternoon occasionally. I think. Come to think of it, I'd have a drink at lunch too. Or two. I mean three. But never in the morning. Almost never.

beer! it's not just for breakfast anymore!:+

[Dez]

15. a big zero

I haven't drank since 1999.. don't think I will ever have the desire to drink again ever.

[iconoclastic cat]

28. What happened in '99?

[hfojvt]

50. drink, drank, drunk - sink, sank, sunk

think, thank, thunk

I am not an English teacher, but I play one on-line.
But no hard feelings, let me buy you a drink. :evilgrin:

I do not drink alcohol either, but I drink lots of Mt. Dew. It is the environmental thing to do - it comes in a GREEN bottle and it made from recycled industrial solvents.

[Jara sang]

17. $0.00

sorry, I quit drinking almost three years ago

[mark414]

18. too much

when i go out i'm lucky if i spend only $20 in one night

meh :shrug:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

19. Zero.

My mom owns a liquor store. I get it for free.
Duckie

[progmom]

20. probably about $15 on wine, most of it is used for cooking

and maybe another $10 socially. my husband doesn't drink, so it's just when i go out with friends.

[MercutioATC]

21. About $200

I like decent wine...

[yvr girl]

22. Are we talking 1 bottle

or 4 or more?

[chickenscratching]

23. lemme see....probably around $100

My SO and I keep BlackBox wine around at most times, and depending on if we have people over, and whathave you, there's probably about three of those that circulate a place at a given month . (approx $60).
and then at some point in the month there is generally a time where we buy supplies for margaritas or almond delights, so for the hard liquor involved there, probably about $40.
total: approx $100.

[ikojo]

24. I don't drink alcohol.....so I spend zero....

Ask what I spend on Mountain Dew and that would be around $40.00 a month.

[B Calm]

25. I like cold beer during the summer. On average probably 30 dollars

a month, six months out of the year..

[Left_Winger]

26. $0.00

Alcohol gives me headaches so I don't drink it.

[iconoclastic cat]

27. I would have to say somewhere between $40-$100 per month.

Drinking at a bar usually drives up that total.

Edited to add: There was quite a stretch where Mrs. IconCat and I both averaged that amount per night, not per month. Ah, the days of swine and roses...

Edit #2: Hey, it's almost sangria season! Woohoo!

[baldguy]

29. Too much, I'm sure.

I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to alcohol. A 12 of imported beer, since I can't stand the piss water that passes for beer from most American breweries. 6-10 bottles of wine @ least $10 ea. Though, one bottle of Amarone or a good Chianti can be $50-60. I'm not much for hard liquor. Usually I spend $80-100 per month.

[scarlet_owl]

30. Nothing. I'm not much of a drinker.

[mr blur]

31. Nothing at all - don't drink the nasty stuff! (nt)

[sundog]

32. not as much as i would like...

i have pricey taste in wine, but not the budget to buy it...

generally, i like some cab 2 or 3 nights a week... so that would probably put me at around $30 retail... but i get my stock through wine distributors, so it probably comes to about $20 :)

[Orsino]

33. None! I never shop drunk...

...and would recommend that everyone sober up first.

[malmapus]

34. I'm gonna go with the "not even close enough crowd"

I haven't bought alcohol in years (promised a friend I'd take care of my liver for her), but lately I've really wanted to tear into a bottle of Jim Beam more than anything.

[Left Is Write]

35. I'm not sure.

We probably buy 2-3 six packs of good beer per month, and 2-3 bottles of wine. Some months we're in a bar 3 times, other months we're not in a bar at all.

It takes us a while to go through hard liquor. We still have a bottle of gin we bought at Christmas time and a bottle of rum I bought more than a year ago to make a rum cake for my husband's birthday.

[norml]

36. $10 - $15 per month on alcohol

$50 - $75 per month on pot

[bertha katzenengel]

37. Probably less than $5 but it's on average. It depends upon whether

Mrs. V. finds wine she wants on our travels, and that's pretty rare.

[GalleryGod]

38. Is this Liar's Poker?

:shrug:

Just funnin, Folks!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the DUer Dads out there!:kick:

[tigereye]

39. very little

5-15 bucks max and usually not at all. Occasionally we buy a nice bottle of wine or a six of microbrews/imported beers.

Our drinking days are long gone. I'm lucky if I have 2 beers when I go out somewhere. :)

[El Fuego]

40. About $26.00

I buy vodka. I didn't count the wine I buy for cooking.

[Baclava]

41. $50 - Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

$30 - Cheap beer for yard work and car-washing days

$0 - Bars

[Reverend_Smitty]

42. It's different in the summer time

when I'm at school I hardly drink, so maybe $10-20. but in the summer there is nothing better to do, and I frequent many shore bars that charge way too much for beer. So maybe $100 or more, this will be a bad month for me because I'm going to Vegas on Thursday and I know I will be spending more than I want to spend

[Magrittes Pipe]

43. Approx. $400.

Between the two of us.

[AngryAmish]

44. $400-500

I spend a lot of times in bars.

[peacebuzzard]

dupe

.

[peacebuzzard]

45. The most would be $20.00. Depends on my schedule for the month.

I do enjoy a 6 oz glass of red wine w/ a home prepped meal. I do not drink while I am on the road or away for my job unless I am sitting for days at a time, and can cook my own meals.
I have recently discovered a very inexpensive Italian wine ...Bolla ....that is just as good or better than the more expensive Merlots, Cabs, Syrahs, Chiantis, etc. etc..etc..
I never order bar drinks or restaurant food and beverage as I am on a strict diet, hopefully for the rest of my life.

[Nikia]

46. Rarely anything

We probably have a couple hundred dollars worth of alcohol in our house that we have never drank that is over 5 years old. We don't really go to bars either. Over the past few years, I have had 2-3 drinking events per year. We have both had bad experiences with alcohol and know that it isn't a good thing for us.

[cleofus1]

47. none...

zip zero zilch nada...

don't smoke either...

in the end it will be saturated fats that kill me

[fortyfeetunder]

48. virtually none, few opportunities

Well, having young'uns at home, I don't make it a point to drink with them. I might have a glass of wine or beer when I am dining out, but that is a rare occasion, the last I had was about 9 days ago, and maybe I'll get some to celebrate an anniversary, which will equal 2 glasses in a month...

[mvd]

49. I average none

I never developed any taste for alcohol. I have a little beer at special occasions..

[leftofthedial]

51. zero these days

[tedoll78]

52. About $2 a month.

Alcohol.. meh.. gimme a good kava tea..

[AlCzervik]

53. none

[RetroLounge]

54. Zero.

Unless you count rubbing alcohol that I mix with india ink or acrylic paints and use for weathering model trains...

RL

[tjwmason]

55. I hate to think

Considerably more than $20 (I've been known to spend more than twice that on one bottle of wine) :scared:

[obxhead]

56. 2 - 3

hundred that would be. :(

[stlsaxman]

57. if you count the alcohol in Listerine...

about $7 a month.

Though from the age of 15 to 30 i drank average a case of Budweiser a day- 365/24/7 with plenty of shots of Jack Daniels in winter or Tanqeuray in summer.

When Anheuser-Busch built a new addition to the 1800's era brewery I was tempted to have a small engraved brass plaque which read- "This brick paid for by 15 years of daily use of your fine product by _______ _________ from 1975 to 1988". Mounting it to a brick under cover of darkness...

Not sure how much that would cost today... 24- 30 bucks plus? How much is a case these days? Shit, when i quit drinking "Lite" beer hadn't even been INVENTED yet!

[obxhead]

59. do imports myself

but a case of bud still under $20 I think.

[cmf]

58. Between $100 and $200

We go out a lot, and we like to entertain often. It adds up quickly, especially if you like to drink good beer and top shelf liquor.

[djeseru]

60. A bottle every two weeks.

Mr. Daniels is $22.00 a bottle, so about $45.00 a month. I don't usually drink when out and about.

*giggle* Closet drinker...

[SarahB]

61. $5-10 maybe.

:shrug:

[billyskank]

62. Nothing at all

[Celeborn Skywalker]

63. Usually about $35 a month.

Twice a year though, I restock the liquor cabinet and spend about $140 on hard liquor.

[BiggJawn]

64. About a buck.

Unlkess I need some of that denatured stuff for cutting shellac in addition to the wipes for my shooting-up...

[all.of.me]

65. probably $20-25 a month

two or three six packs of fat tire. i drink one at a time. one beer! not one six pack!

[yvr girl]

66. .

[RebelOne]

67. I spend about $80 a month on wine. n/t

[simpleplan]

68. About $100.00....all red wine.

[ThomWV]

69. About $300 When I Quit

I picked up a 12-pack every day. Of course I kept Burbon at the house. I drank out on weekends, and that is where considerable money went as well. Oh, and I smoked in those days too so my two packs of Camels a day ran me another $60 a month back then.

Folks I have drank, and drank far to much. I have also abstained from drink for more than 8 years now. Take it from a fucking expert, not drinking is better than drinking

[Richardo]

71. You rock, Thom

My Dad's been off it for almost 30 years now, and I often think he wouldn't even be with us now if he had kept drinking (and smoking).

Kudos! :thumbsup:

[Ganja Ninja]

70. Anywhere from $10 to $40.

Mostly beer and rum. I drink about a case of beer and a half gallon of rum a month.

[Debbi801]

72. zero to maybe 5.00 depending on the month...

Neither of us are big drinkers.

:hi:
Debbi

[musiclawyer]

73. If they're serving Merlot, I'm fucking leaving.....

Oh.....maybe 75 bucs a month for mediocre Syrahs, and Piniot Noir's mostly, maybe 8 bottles a month

[trackfan]

74. I would say about $200

[In_The_Wind]

75. not all that much

less than $60 per month

[Trigger Hippie]

76. I guess about $200.

I likes me liquah.
