    I don't buy every week but probably average less than $25/week

    Usually I'd say at least $25 and never more than $60. It's better when it's on the higher side, because that means I've found stuff I really wanted.

    Let's just say that when I went shopping yesterday, I got a text from credit card fraud protection services asking to verify the purchase. :flushed:

    Many on the low range, yet most of the same come up in what are you drinking tonight? Busted!

    Too much. I'm sure others have answered with that response, too, but that's the truth!

    "Too much"? But between bottle shoppin', beer tradin' and bar drinkin', it's definitely near the $100/week on average range.

    Much more of late but depends where I am going or what is going on but I'm doing the same trip to Maine in July so am a bit scared of how much I will spend. I may try to add Stone Face as well.

    Usually for 200 I can get a mixed case of MBC, mixed case of Bissell and a handful of random bottles from Allagash if that helps at all to give you a better idea of how far your money will go.

    Definitely try to mix Stoneface in - it's about 45-60 mins before the Portland breweries but right along your way if you are going straight up 95.

    Good info, I should probably just set a spending limit and I'll make sure to target the items that I can't get here. I believe we will be in ME for a night and then staying in Hampton Beach for a couple days so Stone Face we might be able to do on day 2. On day 1 I want to do MBC and work backwards. I'm pretty excited.

    $125-150 on premise only ... most of what I drink at home are media samples. Keep in mind I'm in the land of very expensive pints.

    Less than $5 per week...since I moved from the land of plenty (Philly) back to the hometown of almost none (Knoxville, TN) I decided to give up alcohol when not traveling with work. Thankfully I travel the U.S. and hit descent to great beer spots usually twice a month and make it a point to dine at Brew Pubs on the companies dime. I save money and my waistline....win win.

    I can buy up to 20-30 worth each week at the store. However, If we decide to go out to eat a few times during the week that can really escalate. And if there is a party we need to attend.

    I am but a poor college student so only up to $25 a week. Really though, what I do a lot of the time is make one relatively big purchase, around $50/$60 or so on four and six packs to last me for a couple weeks, with some outlying purchases of some nicer single bottles here and there. Probably a max of $100 a month all things considered.

    I know its way down over the years. look at numbers for last 4 months. it was 25 bucks. and none spend in a store.approx 12 was spend in 2 lunch spots. the more accurate question is yearly amounts in my case, due to homebrew, and I make stuff that lasts a long time. Not brewed in 5 months, crazy is it not? then again 10 gallons lasts 1 person a long time.:grimacing::grimacing::grimacing::grinning:

    but I drink wine and whiskey also. lol, thinking about homebrewing whiskey, dangerous thought.
