Yeah, I completely understand the overhead. They probably aren't even
making money at 4 bucks a pint. That still doesn't change how much MORE
it costs to drink out vs. at home. Sometimes I wish I didn't buy
liquor, beer, and keg beer. This way, I wouldn't know how much more I'm
paying when I go out. Liquor is probably the worst. It's unbelievable
how much more you can pay for a mere shot or two of "lower mid-shelf"
booze which they call "top shelf" when you are out. Most people that
drink out a lot wouldn't know good beer or booze if it hit 'em squa in
the face and that's probably a good thing. A local cuban restaurant
sells Mojitos with "top shelf" rum for $15. Yes, I couldn't believe it
myself. If that didn't make you sh*t your pants, wait til the bartender
pours out Bacardi as the "top shelf" rum you asked for! Then, to kick
you when you are down he pours in 7-up and throws in a mint sprig and a
twist to call it a day! LOL. You only do that once! At any rate, that
place is known for highway robbery when it comes to booze.
