I feel like no matter what you drink you're gonna be broke m8. Switch to weed if you just don't wanna be sober.

Liquor stores sell 100ml bottles of "99", the first one I saw years ago was 99bananas, and only in 50ml. They've since come out with "expresso" (their spelling), watermelon, grape (my favorite), whipped, black cherry, cherry, peach, and 100ml bottles. Or you can get the big 99bananas 750ml.
the point is, it's 99proof schnapps, and for $3.75 after tax I get two of the 100ml bottles at my one store that's had it on special for over a year. Most places charge $4.28 after tax for two 100mls. That's the cheapest, strongest, most drinkable alcohol I've found. You can probably find better if you somehow buy in bulk at Costco/Sam's club liquor, and don't drink yourself to death being tempted by having a case of vodka.

franzia is the least deer-piss tasting stuff imo. steel reserve is cheap but god damn is it nasty.

Carlo is slightly cheaper than franzia where I live. Boxed wine has the advantage of being able to hide your alcoholism you cant hide giant carlo bottles very well

>> No.11072075

The plastic handle vodka is the only thing on that chart that I can actually drink fast enough to get drunk and keep down. Popov a shit though; there are better bottom shelf vodkas.

why do you think that? alcohol is pretty cheap

2 5L boxes of franzia a week $9.97 each = 19,94 a week = 79.76 a month

even if i added beer, 1 beer + 1l wine = shitfaced so 30 pack bud light 1 a day $23 a month, total to get shitfaced everyday of the month is $102.76

don't see why i'd be broke
>Switch to weed if you just don't wanna be sober.
i can't do THC, i inherited the AKT1 gene meaning i get drug-induced psychosis, i also have various mental illnesses which add to the flare, fucks me up for months

i can only do xanax or alcohol, but barbiturates impair my motor functions and dumb me down over time much faster than alcohol
>>11072016
interesting

well, i'm 6ft2 200lbs and i need 300ml of 40% ABV alcohol to get me shitfaced, so i'd need 3 which would total up to $80 a week, not good, very expensive
>>11072017
hahahaha
>>11072039
lmao you're thinking about the taste? i can down north east african gasoline shit no problem, anything western is like water

how much does steel reserve cost, how many liters is it and what percentage of ABV is it?
>>11072067

A 15 pack of Milwaukee's Best Ice is 5.99, which works out to about 56 cents per ounce of alcohol. I'm sure everything in that infographic is pricier now

what's the name of the cheapest one you know
>>11072103
too little too weak and too expensive, not enough to get me drunk
>>11072117
hmm well, i'd need 7 cans to get the job done so a 15 pack every 2 days so 3-4 packs a week so $18-24 a week, $72-$96 a month, about $7.76 a month cheaper than franzia, but possibly $10+ more expensive

according to my research the cheapest beer is rolling rock at $0.55 a can

looks like franzia 5 liters truly is still the undisputed champion of value

9.99 for 5l the franzia is like 10.99

If you feel fruity and you have a local afro-carribean shop, try Cherry B (11.5%). Its a 'wine' made from, as the name suggests, cherries.

Its roughly £1-1.5 in the UK for a small 113ml bottle

If Franzia is that expensive then I think Milwaukee's Best Ice would be cheaper. 7 cans per day x 30=210 cans=14 15 packs=83.86 per month

Burnett's, Barton and Taaka are ~$10 per 1.75 L at WinCo in California, sometimes 9 something when on sale.. That's $0.63 per 1.5 oz. alcohol @ $10.
I like the Barton. It's decent shot straight.

Remember not to completely fuck off with schoolwork. You have your whole life to get drunk but you've only got one shot at school, and if you do your best you won't have to drink poor people alcohol for the rest of your life.
