What's the most economical boxed wine? Assume, for the sake of argument, that I am only looking to get drunk and don't necessarily care about flavor.

Make your own in your bathtub with fruit that you foraged and natural airborne yeast. If the box itself is a sticking point then I guess you could just grab one from a nearby dumpster. I think this is the most economical wine possible.

Go to one of those places that makes the wine for you (you have to put yeast in yourself by law in Canada) then after 4 weeks you show up and bottle it. 30 bottles for $100CAD. Can't get cheaper in Leaf land but in the USA you would probably be better just buying cheap wine.

Almost every 4l box is $18-$21 so get whatever.

The franzia crisp white has the highest abv of that brand and is the most common and widespread brand you’ll find at 13.6% iirc. Bottom shelf vodka will always be the the greatest bang for your buck 99/100 and don’t buy the bullshit that the cheaper makes for worse hangovers. If you really want to save money, just get an entire case of it from a liquor store and they’ll usually only give you a small markup if you arrange a deal with the manager as opposed to their usual self price. Don’t bother making up a lie about a party, they’re not going to judge you for wanting to save some money. Can save you a couple thousand bucks over the course of a year.

It releases wine without letting air into the container, so you can pour some without accelerating oxidisation and therefore don't have to finish it off as soon as you do with a bottle.
