What do you drink when you're on a budget?
Title says it all - the local store sells a liter of vermouth for about 5.5 dollars - I consider that a good deal. So, what do you guys drink when everything else fails?

Vermouth alone? Sounds like a challenge.
I usually grab a three-litre bottle of cider. Costs £3.50 or so. I I have around £10 to spend, I can get a bottle of vodka or blended whisky.
Cheap wine also works. LIDL (or is it ALDI?) sell bottles of wine for between £3 and £5, and some of them are not so bad.

There is already a thread on this subject in TAOGH. 'When you have 20 dollars' or something in that line. Check it out. It's not hard to get loaded on 10 bucks, but personally, without money, I would start looking for a job. After all work = money = booze.

Re: What do you drink when you're on a budget?
anything I can get my hands on. If I can't afford to buy booze, i can't afford to and I go without. If it's temporary poverty I drink all those things that sit at the back of a cupboard, like vermouth, bitters, home made wine that went wrong. Can usually make booze pretty cheaply if you're desperate but it takes a bit of patience

Been there before. Three words: Rot Gut Whiskey. Cheap shit, but it does the job. I lift my glass in hope for happier days for all.

Can usually survive on the dregs in the liquor cabinet until payday. I cash in my change jar about once a year, and that's usually good for $40 or so, more than enough for a special candy store trip.

for me, I always keep my liquer bookcase well stocked so in tough times I have a while before I suffer.
Should it get depsperate though, wither the 3 litre bottles of cider or a shit brand vodka.

I just dance with elderly ladies and keep on drinking top shelf.
