I'm not really sure, I'm 19 and I've been drinking quite regularly since 13, but almost none of this has been at the massively high bar/pub prices they charge in London, it's mainly been alcohol bought off the shelf and shared with friends, and for a long time we just bought the cheapest vodka they sold so probably I've spent much less per unit than most people.

I've also done a lot of drinking of parents' and parents' friends' single malt whisky but haven't paid for very much of that except when buying gifts.

a WAY better question would be worded "how much, in dollars, has alcohol cost you?"

We had to do this in alcohol diversion class. It's astounding.

36, I put down 10-20k, but could be over 20k...no way under 10k.

been collecting single bottles of beers I've had over the last 6 years (since my wedding - coincidence???). Current collection > 400. Wife really loves that corner of the basement...

crap, now that I think about it, I gotta be over $20k...

I figure in the 25-30 grand range. Started drinking when I was fifteen. I am 41 now and hardley drink at all. Most of it spent in college and law school.

Did not drink before 17
17-21- went to a lot of bars, 2 nights a week on average, 50$ a night, for 4 years = 15,600$
21/22- Stopped going to bars, drank with friends at house= 200$/mo = 4800$
22/23- started going out to bars again, and spending even more than before, 3 nights a week- 50-70$ a night = 11,700$

32,100$. Wow. That is way more than I assumed. I will say that I am pretty liberal with buying rounds though.

These scary big figures aren't an indication of us being drunken bastards (even though I'm sure that's true in many cases), they indicate that most alcohol is ridiculously overpriced.

It's really the man's fault. I mean, there is no earthly reason why a pint of beer should cost five bucks as it does in many bars at regular price.

Thats why im such a cheep bastard when it comes to tipping at the bar. I see it as that could be 1 more drink for the night.
