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?

    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.

        Yeah, I’m a pretty cheap person, but I don’t go to a bar to save money, I go to relax and socialize.

        If you’re not living a boring life, then you should naturally come across plenty of different people with plenty of different opportunities to make connections.

        “Meeting people at the grocery store” is a lazy and ignorant excuse to justify going to bars. If you think those are your only two options, then you’re the problem and I pity anyone who gets caught in your web.

        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.
