    I cannot even financially support that. A beer costs between 5 and 8 euros. Having a few beers and some snacks for 2 hours is a bill of 60 euros. Imagine doing that for several hours every day. I can’t spend 100-150 euros every day.

      It’s so much cheaper to just buy a couple 12-packs and hang out at someone’s place. Bonuses include - choosing what to put on the TV, not having conversations be interrupted by strangers, and having the ability to crash overnight if you don’t feel comfortable driving home afterward.

      I’m not the most outgoing person, and bars/clubs tend to be too loud for my liking. I don’t think those places were made for people like me, so there’s little point in going there when hanging with friends on my back porch is so much cheaper.

      I’m amused that the implicit limit in your comment, that the thing that makes drinking 10 beers a day impractical, is the cost.

        It’s not just beers. A coke is 4. Alcohol free beer is also 5. Coffee is about threefiddy. I’m not going to drink coffee all day. A cocktail is between 14 and 18, a mocktail is maybe 2 euros cheaper.

        Heh, I agree with LordWiggle completely. Pretty easy to put away 12 or so light beers in an afternoon… but I’m not dropping ~$90 to do it! A twelver of Tecates is only $16.50 with deposit - much more reasonable!

        I did that 3 days a week, there’s nothing impractical about it if you live next to a bar you like. Except, indeed, the cost.
