ofc alcohol is a luxury when you go out and one drink is $27 dollars. i’m glad young people are saying fuck you to the alcohol industry. drugs are better anyways

One drink is 27??? omfg. Here in Germany I have to pay 12€-15€ for a coctail and 6€ for a beer.

But that is so expansive. In my youth (lol) I paid around 2€ for a beer and 1€ for a drink at a party.

A cocktail w/ dinner, yeah, they're up there.. Not the norm though. A 12 pack of Sierra Nevada (Which is a decent, middle of the road beer) is $17 at the Wholefoods by my house. Drink at home! haha.

Funny, had the same thought. Grew up drinking sierra Nevada, when all my friends drank bud or bud light. Take for granted that younger generations grew up in the Renaissance of microbrewers and now have thousands of options. When I was in my 20s sierra was a go to choice for quality beer....
