Im not a cheap guy, but the cost of booze when you go out is getting completely out of hand. I live in So Cal so I expect a little price gouging, but 12.00 for one of those piece of shit measured deals with the crazy cord atatched to the spout for a Crown Black and 18.00 for a pitcher of New Castle. Makes me remember why I stay home and bbq. Much more rewarding. Gotta take the wife out every now and again though.
