Money spent on drinking

I'm just curious to how much you all spent on alcohol per week. I just went through mine and I worked it out to around 150 pounds ($233), that's more than my rent!

Mine was about 15 pounds a day. I don't want to add it up

I was spending about $100 a week on beer. When I quit drinking I was finally able to buy the new car I'd been putting off for years!

£70-£100 a week... What a stupid waste!

I spent every spare cent I had - but to be honest, I think I lost a lot more things of more value than money.

I was a connoisseur of the 'tramps champagne' aka White Cider. 8% proof, 2 Liters for £2.20. 6-8 Liters per day.

It cost me far more than money though.

Just today I had to turn down a job that I had been offered, one that I would have very much liked, because I was asked to provide a police report of any offenses.

The past will I believe always haunt me.

At least $100 a week. Whenever I would go out to the bars my tabs were never less than $50. Also would go searching for cocaine while drunk, which empties the wallet at a horrifying rate.

I'm pretty sure my old habits have cost me a Ivy League education, lol.

Unhappy

I live on an extremely limited budget and spend way too much on alcohol.
