Q: How much do you spend on alcohol in a month?

Tired of the SH drinking scene, I decided to not drink for August and September. Low and behold, after crunching the numbers, my bank account has about 5,000 RMB more in it than it should... Do I really spend 2500-3000 RMB a month on alcohol? I guess it's all the micro brews and Hendricks... 

 

How much do you spend, what do you normally drink and what city do you live in?

I only drink beer and only when I'm not working the next day, that means I drink beer three times a week, and I have four beers at home each night. I go out about twice a month (ish) to a Chinese bar or the pool hall, that accounts for about 200RMB for both nights (not including the pool). So including the beer at home, I would estimate a maximum of 300RMB per month on beer.

 

I'm no angel but I had family who were alcoholics so I very rarely touch strong liquor.

  Too much; those two large A's in my name aren't there by accident you know. I'm making them smaller though. Day by day.

I usually just drink beer, and just casually. Yesterday I drank 2 beer in the park after lunch, but I may go 3 or 4 days until I have another. I reckon I spend around between 100 and 300RMB a month. I get the German beer too sometimes.

A week of food = 1 night of drinking.

 

But it's ok, food takes up too much beer space in the stomach anyway.

As for you bank balance you may take into consideration eating after a night out, buying cigarettes, taxis to places etc.

About 1600 for beer I buy at the store give or take plus the odd bottle of Johnny Walker and probably another 4000-5000 a month at the bars.  One night at the Terrace can set me back 1000 easy (buying for me and my gf and maybe another friend or 2 with her).

Of course this doesn't count beers in restaurants with dinner.
