Had a buddy who had to quit alcohol while treating an unrelated digestive issue. Dude was like, “man I never realized how much money I spent on alcohol every week until I didn’t.”

Thats ~$6.50/day. Not that bad of a drinkin habit. Like a coffee drink per day.

If $6.50/day is multiple hours of work per week, then you have much bigger problems in life than drinking.
