I quit drinking in bars long before I quit drinking altogether. When draught beer cost more than 35 cents a glass I could buy a six pack of 16 oz. cans of Schmidt’s for $1.40.
Cheaper still to brew your own. The old Soviet Union was famous for making vodka cheaper than safe drinking water. What are the real cost of ingredients in a 12 oz can of beer which is, what, 98% water?
