    No kidding! I used to get the hard mtn dews, they were 12 cans for $10. Just the other day at Meijer, $24.99. I don’t really drink other than the occasional good drink. That or the Monster, only bc surprisingly both are caffeine free-which is why I can drink them.

      Meijer still has good prices last I checked, 12 to 14 IPA’s for 18 dollars, or like 20 for 30 pbr cans. Same as last year and the year before.

        I’m not a beer drinker anymore, usually hard liquor, but the dew or monster I can’t normally have from a caffeine sensitivity. Plus, not as filling

          Ah, idk about liquor prices, it’s price controlled in my state, or at least was it seems like some stores are charging a lot more now idk if they relaxed it.

          But traveling to other states I saw liquor go for 2x what it does here.

      Cant recall what the price was when i significantly reduced the amount i drink. That was nearly 5-6 years ago, just that thanks to alcohol tolerance increasing rapidly showed a rather bad trend. By the end if was around a six pack and couple of shots of vodka every evening to get the buzz going.

      Now i do drink only a handful of times a year during some events and when that alcohol is paid for by someone else.
