I cracked open the Rossi again tonight since I don't work tomorrow. If I get the apartment to myself later tonight, I will definitely make some drunk posts.
Who else is having some hump day alcohol?

I would be saving it for Friday night if I had saturday off, but I have to work saturday, so I am drinking tonight. I will also drink a little saturday night, but probably beer, if I can down the rest of this wine.

Are $4 cocktails cheap for your area? I don't pay more than four for premium vodka tonics on a regular basis here. I'm sure they approach $5 with Grey Goose or Belvedere.

Good Lord, I'd be (even more of) an alcoholic. $4 in NY/NJ doesn't even get you a decent beer half of the time.

It's the benefit of living in a city with 225,000 people in a state with only 1.5 million people, and a city that has a University with 25,000 students. We also rate somewhere in the top ten for bars per capita, so there is a ton of competition, thus a drinkers market.

I live in Sydney, and the inner west (close to the city, 'cool' kind of area, tho not completely trendy) at that, so yeah, $4 cocktails are ridiculously cheap - and that was only a special at a pub near the uni frequented by engineering students. Normally, even at the college pubs around here a house vodka and mixer will cost you at least $4-4.5. Go into The Rocks or Kings Cross (the trendy pub/nightclub areas) and you'll be paying $7.

And, I don't think I've ever spotted a pub around here offering the likes of Grey Goose or Belvedere (tho I guess it could be under the counter or somewhere), nor do most bottle shops sell it, only premium ones or the mega stores you have to drive to. The best that's usually available is Finlandia. With the prices for regular vodka, I'd be broke very quickly if I tried to drink good stuff out in the Cross or the Rocks where it is available more regularly

I usually drink Absolut Citron or Stolichnaya and I get them for like 3.50, but alot of places only have that price from like 9pm-11pm. I'd never pay $7 for a drink here, I can get at least two Pilsner Urquell or Stella Artois for that price on tap.

As Dumpjack said, I do live in the land of plenty despite how boring and miserable it can get at times.

You like Fat Tire? I've never really liked it, but I do love the Sunshine Wheat from the same brewery.

Cool, that is what I tend to go for. I need to have that taste to know I'm drinking real beer.
