I’m in the process of doing the above and would like to hear about your experience. Were there any surprises? What was as you expected?

    The selection shrinks… on everything. 30 beers on tap at that nice brewhouse becomes 3 at the local watering hole. 20 different unique restaraunts becomes a subway and a chinese place. Groceries? Sure, enjoy your walmart and dollar general.

      Bar culture is a waste of money anyways.

      You can get more variety at a cheaper price from grocery stores. It doesn’t make sense to pay more money to drink at a bar with people who you’re not close enough to visit each other’s homes.

      Anyone who spends $7 on a shot when an entire bottle costs $12 isn’t using their brain.

        I was with you until you said grocery store beer. No selection at grocery stores in my area unless you want a lager.

          I’m mostly referring to liquor because it’s the most economical way to get drunk.

          My local Walmart has a decent selection of beers, but I’ve been to HEBs that have entire sections devoted to craft beers. It may depend on the grocery store in question.

          You can still get a better selection at a cheaper price at liquor stores than bars.

            Why not bathtub moonshine? That is even more economical.

              Hey man, if you have more money than sense that’s your problem. You don’t have to go around replying to everything I post trying to explain why you like getting ripped off.

              The profit margins for the alcohol you buy at bars is significantly higher than alcohol you buy in stores. You’re getting ripped off, and in typical useful idiot fashion, you need to figure out some way to avoid acknowledging it.

                Did you reply to the wrong comment or something? This doesn’t make any sense.

                  If you don’t want to understand something, then you won’t understand it.

                  I don’t expect more from you.
