    Did the perfunctory search, but I couldn't turn up anything I expected to find, although I know the general topic has come up before. But maybe not in an exciting tell-all poll format! :grimacing:

    Are you ready to see where you stand in the BA community? Are you ready to face the truth? They say confession is good for the soul. But how much are "they" spending each week on beer :astonished:?

    Some may feel relief, some may sink into despair, some will need to hide this from their spouses :rolling_eyes:
    But it's all just part of the fun... :wink:

    Let 'er roll... :grinning:

    $25-$50 range, sometimes slightly more/less. Depends on how much overtime I'm getting at work.

    I try to stay at $100 a month. I sometimes struggle to keep on that budget, but rarely spend too much more than 50 in a week.

    25-50 bucks a week. It depends on the week. I can go to a bottle shop looking for a particular beer, can't find it, and walk out with some Summit Saga. Other times I walk into a bottle shop looking for a beer, and 5 beers I've been wanting show up and I walk out with all of them the majority of the time.

    More than my wife thinks.
    Less than I'd like to.

    It varies but on any given trip to the store I expect to pay between $75-$100. I have a lot of beer.....

    20 a month and the ingredients for home brew. Twice a year a week in VT gets me over 100 for a week.

    $0 to $25. Some weeks nothing. Other weeks, a six pack or two or just a few cheap bombers

    Don't necessarily shop every week but $200 a month seems about right.

    I try to keep it under $100/mo. I drink almost daily but extremely light during the week. Although depending on bar tabs, special releases or regular release craft singles that number can go up or down.

    I went $75-$100 a week. I drink around a case and a half a week (locals and homebrew) plus hit up one or more of the local brewpubs for a few pints once or twice a week, maybe a growler fill.

    I never really go to bars so that keeps my weekly expenditure down. I can go through a sixer/ bomber or 2 six's in a week and stay in the low/mid 20s.

    Most weeks is under $25 as I usually only buy two or three bottles. I'm still working through my beer cellar and the 100+ bottles I have down there. That being said, some weeks it is more - like when I found a barrel-aged Narwhal for $20. But that's the average.

    it really just depends, I'm big on buying new releases if I come across them. Also, let's not count in what FedEx receives due to trades..

    Short Answer: TOO MUCH :grinning:

    The Answer You Want: $25-$50 a week (At the higher end more often than not)

    I don't normally drink more than a few beer a night between Sunday and Thursday but I have a horrible habit of walking into a Liquor Store and not being able to walk out empty handed :grimacing:
