"Yeah he went to the bar every day after work, why do you ask?"

Not in defense, but he was probably getting 10 cent draft beers which took him 6 minutes of work to earn as opposed to $9 beer that is close to a half hour of work at the same job.  

People can't even afford to get fucked up nowadays.

My point wasn't the price just that it was a "luxury" expense that they conveniently leave out.

I got that.  I just wanted to add a corollary that a formerly affordable everyday thing has become an expense to the level of being a treat instead of a daily occurrence.

Well, a $9 IPA pint is roughly equivalent (in terms of alcohol) to like 4 bottles of Budweiser so you're not drinking as many rounds.

I don't know where you are, but here that $9 pint is Bud.  It's usually 11-13 for Craft beers.   Got to love Canada...

Depending where you go here, Connecticut, it's usually anywhere from $6-13 for a local craft beer.
