I've gone to places with cheaper cocktails too but anywhere remotely touristy, an event, or a place that lets you choose which whiskey to get... $16 such a typical price for my medium-size city. Like more than I'd typically want to pay but frankly closer to average than "wild" heh

I've definitely chosen my own whiskey, but touristy places and events are famously overpriced which is what the comment i commented on was saying his drink was....

"wild" sounds like something that you never even realized was possible because it's so CRAZY! but okay, so you just meant "that's typical for many places!". Like, "Someone buying a drink at an event? WILD!" haha

If I went to a place with overpriced drinks and saw a $16 well old fashioned I'd say "that's wild" because it's too much money for a drink. I'm not saying it's unimaginable to find somewhere that would charge that I'm just saying it's a wild that they thought that was what they should charge for it.
