I want to buy a ton of good liquor and not go out to bars any more

Bro, do you really need to ask this on LetsRun? We're not a life coaching service.

Don't you come on here like everyday and ask people how to not be a such loser when interacting with women?

Yeah definitely don't go to a bar if you're just going to talk to the same couple of people. Bars are where you go so you can meet NEW people, or people who you would not normally call up and invite over to your place. Also, $50 at a bar is kind of a lot. I live in New York and I usually don't go over $40 on a good night out. $50 in Hicksville or wherever you live will probably buy you about 10 drinks, which is a ton.

or, you could just...you know, stop intentionally poisoning yourself / paying to do it.

I don't think it's all that much to be honest. If you drink craft beer and mixers with top shelf stuff in it, it's easy to rip through $40.00 and then add a tip at the end.

Welcome to reality, brah.

Airplane bottles and a 40 oz.. A 10 pack of vodka costs $10-15. Wear boots, high combat boots. Hammer down the 40 in the parking lot. Slip airplane bottles in the top of the boots. Go into to the bar. Order one beer and pay cash. Finish it and head to the restroom with the bottle. Empty the airplane bottles into the beer bottle. Head back out and sip on the bottle for the rest of the night. Make sure you drift/mingle so the bartender doesn't ride you about ordering another beer.

Did this for a few years and it worked well. Always got drunk and it cost me a max of $20/night. And most definitely take advantage of older women and get them to buy you beer. Have a younger brother that always chatted up the 40+ crowd and we RARELY paid for beer.

Part of drinking is socializing with others. I hope that you don't intend on drinking that all alone. Otherwise, I suggest that you cut back on how much you drink when you go to a bar or quit all together. You'll feel better for it and save all that money.

How does $300 by a ton of top notch bottles?

Just be careful you're alcohol intake doesn't rise dramatically

Long term alcohol abuse will destroy your body

If that's what you're planning

By a ton I meant like 10. The goose, crown, patron, johnnie walker, etc. As far as I'm concerend those are top shelf choices. I don't drink everyday. I usually drink one night per week unless it's the fall football season.

It sounds like you focused on drinking alone and not socially, which is the whole idea of the bar/pub. If it includes friends coming over to help polish off all the top shelf bottles, that may defeat the purpose and savings.

Why waste the money?

Are you trying to get laid?

Will you get laid drinking at your house?

The $3500 might be worth it unless you want to start paying for sex in your house.

If you've got lots of women coming to your house then the money at bars may not be necessary.
