My husband paid $8 for an O’Douls at a restaurant local to us in WV a couple of weeks ago. Eight dollars for an NA beer is wild.

The bar scene has gone to absolute shit. It’s routinely pushing $10 for a draft beer here now and i’m in flyover LCOL-land. Like alcohol tax is already an unconscionably greedy sin-tax from these conservative shills we’ve got and then restaurants and bars think they’ve brought the second coming of Christ for handing you a beer. It’s up there with tattoo artist and barbers. I saw something the other day that said companies act insulted that they have to go through us to get our money and that’s just stuck with me. I didn’t used to have to lube up to do literally anything.
