How much do you spend on booze a month?

Just looked over my bank statement for the past 30 days and I've spent just over $200 at the beer store and lcbo alone. If I factor in cash that I've spent on booze at bars, it's probably $400+.

I realize that the last month is probably a bit of an exception with Christmas and new years, but I really didn't give the gift of alcohol that much this year.

I'm not pretending to be a high roller lol... Just wondering how much other people spend on alcohol.

$100-$200 I guess.

I simply dont tend to ever drink while at clubs -- rare if i even buy 1 beer.

Average at least 2 two-fours a month. But im sure many months when i go out clubbing a lot (ie. there are pre-party and post-party gatherings with friends where i drink) or have cottage weekend trips, its closer to 4.

I rarely if ever make it out to bars to socialize, but i guess if I'm splittin' pitchers with a buddy or two, you can add on $40 there maybe, every other month or something.

wayyyy toooo much. i tend to not predrink as much as i used to... just too many things on the go, so i end up meeting up at the bar. where ill spend anywhere from 30-70 a night. im out quite often... so lets say 2-3 on average a week. so in a month prob 600ish... damn. i dont have a job either....

If I actually try to figure it out I might cry... So I'll pass haha...

Probably no more that $100.00/month

I only really drink when I go out...and Usually pre-drink.

I tend to go to the US quite often so probably have a couple dozen 40s of Rum/Vodka/Gin/Tequila etc. (Even a few bottle of Absinthe). Also have tons of wine, so I only really spend money at the club.

I usually just pre-drink w/ stuff I already have...

Vodka Red Bull's add up!

I don't buy EVERY month, maybe every 2-3(or more) months. Between 30-50$, 100$ if I'm buying fancy shmancy stuff.

I know, it's kinda sad to think that i could be living in a pimp apartment if I didn't drink so much. then again, what fun would that be?

For the past couple of months, it's been $0. It rules.

Not much anymore, thank god. DAMN ALCOHOL.

Mind you, I keep a good stock of beer/wine/spirits at my place. Gotta be prepared for emergencies!

Gladly and proudly:

$0

Last summer I had nights where I spend like 300$ at once, but normally I just like to predrink with some good old Vodka.

After all, I am Russian.....

I haven't bought alcohol in a while. I still have some Bacardi coolers and Stoli (barf) left.

I miss wine.

DUTY FREE!!!

I swear the case (24-pack) of Keiths I have in my fridge TASTE BETTER bc I got it for only $17.50! JESUS... half off!

If I'd gone cans, it would have only cost me $15.50! (and you get MORE in cans... which, as everyone knows, in canada cost MORE bc of that, lol)

All domestic bottles at duty free are $17.50.

If you want import, Heiny, Corona, Becks, etc. Only $24 still!

Jesus, thats half off too. it'd been soooooooooo long since i bought at duty free, i fucking forgot how retardedly cheap buying alcohol there is!!!

Similar, $100 to $200 weekly, cutting back bigtime.
