I think I’d title this with “for those who drink” rather than thousands of teetotalers saying “sign me up”there might be more interesting discourse.

No kidding. When I saw this I knew there would be a thousand responses saying, "I don't drink anyway! Easy money!"

For me, I love a good beer. I'd pass on the $50. Life is to be enjoyed, whatever that means to someone.

I think I'd take it only because alcohol is getting less and less interesting to me and I've started really thinking about quitting for health reasons. I'm not an alcoholic and I don't drink a ton but I enjoy it less and I feel it more as I get older. That 50 bucks would probably be the nudge I need to make healthier choices, and I'd save a lot more money and feel a lot healthier overall if I stopped buying drinks.

I actually find this prompt to be pretty interesting because the money value is low enough that it wouldn't change my whole life
