At my regular a bar rum (which just so happens to be Castillo Silver--and they do a nice heavy pour) and coke sets me back $2.50, and draft Miller or Bud light is $1.25. I believe they charge more for Labatt's, which is why we always skip over to our #2 bar for the dollar pints when we are in a beery mood. This is in the U.P. of MI.
Prices do vary a bit around here, but there is no way in hell I could ever afford to drink out if I had to pay $12.00 a drink!

Some of you guys are making me jealous. My usuals at my usual places are around $5-7 for a well rum & coke, $6-9 for my beloved Bacardi & coke and $9-$15 for my Grey Goose, rocks and a twist. Beer, which I usually avoid, starts at $4-$6.

I try to stick to the bars where the draught beers are in the $2-4 range.

The corner bar down the street that I recently started frequenting has draughts for $1.50 for PBR and $1.75 for everything else.

I think I found me a new bar.

Downtown San Diego is pricey, but I don’t mind paying the “prefect weather and hot chicks” tax.

There are about 4 or five that I have frequented over the last year. The one that I used to work : prices = ;), Cahoots: BBC Alt pint = 2.50, Jameson rocks or neat= 3.50 (I think), Barret Bar and the Back Door, a Turkey 101 rocks is about 5 bones.

Speedway or Chevron : 40oz = around $2, 30 pack of High Life = around $16.

i went to the y-not the other night. cheap cheap cheap. every place i have been to has been cheaper than the place i went to the other morning. the one i went to was a little upscale for my tastes..but it was the closest w/in walking distance. on the other hand, you can still SMOKE INSIDE HERE so it more than makes up for paying a couple of extra bucks. and since they play so much dice here, odds are you are going to get a couple of free shots everytime you go out. and they regularly give 'buy backs' which is always nice.
That's what I call Drunkard justice. I hate prisses like that. They're mincing their way through life when they should be marching. ~fkr.

I wish i could find me a woman who drinks!~ruiner..on lack of women drinkers.

This great hole in the wall joint down the street from me has $1 pitchers of Bud on Mondays from 9 to close. Tuesday's are typically, like today, hangover "fuck I hate my head" day's.

Sure, that's easy for someone like you, what with your GQ model looks and your smooth as silk charm. But for a nitwit fatbody like myself, it can be tough.
I'll miss you, pallie.

It's not about you, Mr Fatbody. Liz never has to pay for drinks.
