Frontloading - Getting drunk before going to a nightclub because the club’s drinks are expensive.
Where I'm from, that's known as "predrinking" and is common before places with long lines or sports events(with the #%#@ $8.00 beers.

Also known as taking one for the team.
$8.00 beers? That's worse than ShaftCo Field (home of my pathetic Mariners). They only charge $7.
