While the daily cost can add up, the other unanticipated consequences of drinking can really cost a lot of money too
Like a DUI with legal fees and all of the associated fines and penalties,
a totaled car,
a law suit from somebody that was injured by you,
a lost job,
a divorce,
health issues not covered by insurance ,
and the list could go on and on
I managed to avoid all of these things, so I consider myself lucky. If you've avoided all of these things, then I would consider you lucky too!
