8 to 10 bucks a day for me. That's around 3k a year, I probably spent more.
Drinking career estimated grand total= $27, 500.00 over a 15 year stretch. Again, I probably spent more.
That's not counting the tobacco habit I kicked or the supid crap I bought while drinking. I plan on saving 4k to 5k a year.
A huge waste of time & money however you slice it.

Pulltight's comment made me laugh because I remembered how much late night drunken Ebaying I used to do. 
Also reminds me of a Patton Oswalt bit:
"I get drunk enough to sit around on the internet in my underwear and order stamps. Yeah, stamps - I win!"
Saving a lot of money these days. Thanks for the reminder

Alcohol is so cheap in Brazil. If I didnt have money I would buy the cheapest "cachaça" available (cachaça is 80 proof liquor like vodka or whiskey) A half liter plastic bottle costs $0,75. That's what homeless people drinks here.

soberwolf has a point, but in my drinking days I felt so much superior drinking cachaça alone than those people buying overpriced drinks at the clubs. It doesnt matter anyway, its all poison.

I was spending 7.50 on the traveler of Korski, 6.50 on a pack of cigarettes, then gas money/per day.
BUT... I can subtract eating expenses since I was drinking my meals. But then i need to add some hospitalizations.
Its a very complicated equation, but in the end, it was A LOT for me.
There is an app called I am sober for your phone that you can put an estimated amount per day in and it will add it up for yah each day your are sober

I'd spend about $12 a day on my mickey of stoli's, not expensive by any means but it does add up, over 300 a month, 3600 a year!

It's a motivator for me anyway.

I have calculated it before but don't remember now, just that it was a lot. Three 30 packs a week at $15 each plus beers at the bar. Then the weekly "occasional" good six pack at like $10 for one six. I was doing somewhere over $200 a month.

$8 for a six of coronas (or something else good), and 2-3 little buddies at $2. That was a week night, a weekend would be a that plus a couple 1/2 pints of southern comfort, at $10 a pop. I had to buy the small ones, cause if I bought a fifth I would drink it up. Disgusting.

not only am I saving on the booze..but I"m saving on the stupid impulse buys. Damn, I'd be the supermarkets dream... I'd walk in a bit 'drunk' and I'd buy sushi, and $16 a pound steaks. YEAH. I was a good time charlie..and if I was tipsy, NO cheap wine for me...NO sir. I had the good stuff. I've never figured out the costs, I think I'd be sick.
