How much do you spend on alcohol?

Let’s face it - most of drink. Some drink more than the other. I personally drink a couple of times a week (on average). Almost every week there is a happy hour scheduled for right after work. This usually falls on Tuesday or Wednesday at a local dive bar that has relatively cheap beer and smells of smoke badly. The good thing is the beer is not outrageously expensive but the bad thing is that we don’t leave the bar at 7pm (when the happy hour expires). Sometimes we stay past midnight. That’s 7-8 hours of drinking and guess what? The bill ads up!
How bad is alcohol for your health is something I can cover in a separate article because I know a little bit about that too, but for now, let’s concentrate on how much money we waste on it.
When I go out with friends on Friday or Saturday night I also manage to spend about $100 on average and I’m not really sure how. This doesn’t happen all the time and the happy hours aren’t always 7 hours long, but I’d say that in a given month, I easily spend around $400 on alcohol!
What about you - how much do you spend on alcohol every week / month?
