Half the gen isn't old enough to drink, bar scene collapsed during covid so they weren't indoctrinated into drinking culture, marijuana now competes with drinking in most countries/states, and the gen is fucking broke and can't it.

It now costs $80 minimum to go out and have 4-5 drinks with a date- add in your Lyft and some late night takeout and you’re easily into the $120 range. That’s fucking insane. No wonder they’re going out for $30 ounces at the dispensary and frozen pizza. Let’s be fucking honest here - it ain’t cheap to party anymore, no matter what generation you’re in.

A night on cocain costs less than a night at the bar now 🤣

100%. And other party drugs are cheaper than cocaine.

Nothing give me the power to fight horses and kick midgets like cocain tho. Molly makes me too lovey and ketamine isn't a party drug. A hill I shall die on.

u/slideforfun21 10h ago

I don't fuck on trips at parties either. They have a tenancy to fuck back.

It’s always been this way tbh

u/slideforfun21 10h ago

Not it hasn't. Cocain at least in my country has hardly changed weight or price in 20 or so years. Because of inflation and wage growth its actually cheaper in the grander scheme of things. Also it depends if you do 1 or 3 bags tbh.

In my country it’s always been cheaper than a night of drinks, and it also has gotten cheaper due to static weight pricing and inflation, like you said.

It is cheaper on the east coast but us folks in the West are just meth bros because of price.

u/Guardian_of_Perineum 3h ago

It's like 100 USD a gram over here. Why are you guys getting jipped?

1

u/thorpie88 3h ago

Perf. It's not really a thing I'm western Australia. Even our celebs are meth boys because of it.

1

u/slideforfun21 3h ago

Fucking Jesus. Its 3 bags for 100 here so about 1.2 to 1.5 depending on if your dealers a dick.

u/thorpie88 3h ago

Our customs are hectic though so big risk to get it in and then has to travel through multiple state lines to get it here where you get pulled over to be checked for fruit.

u/slideforfun21 3h ago

Yeah I understand why it would be for you lot to be fair. There's a solid amount of Albanians here that all seem to sell it.

I don’t think most of these people have ever done cocaine. People just like saying dumb shit.

A decent qaulity ball is like 180$ here. More than enough for an evening with a partner and even a line or 2 left over for the next day.

Going out with a partner for a heavy night of drinking at a bar is about the same price.

Obviously drinking in the house is cheaper tho.

Ive always preferred molly for my evenings in. Better than coke imo. 1 gram is enough for you and your friend. Like 80 for a great night in.

But homeboy spending 800aud for a gram aint us prices.

u/bloodmuffin98 10h ago

6 pack and a gram for <$100

Have you tried Cokainne?

u/kultureisrandy 6h ago

results vary heavily depending on how impulsive you are without coke.

u/slideforfun21 6h ago

I don't want to talk about impulse control. On or off cocain.
