2 Long Island Ice Teas 2 shots of grey goose.. $50 bucks
We're very lucky to have not one, but two world class beer pubs here in town (one got ranked #11 on the planet last year. I have reservations for May 10, graduation day, for a reason. Woo, master's degree!)
I can actually only hold about four beers before I hit the danger zone, but that's assuming full 12-16 oz pours. The beer pubs offer tastes and 3 oz pours as well as half pours. On casks nights at Aroma's I'll just ask the waitress to start me at the top of the menu for a 3 oz pour and work my way down til I've hit all ten taps.

My spouse and I have never been inside of a bar or pub, and we'd both rather spend the money on fruity (possibly alcoholic) beverages and candy.

Hell, if you drink the kind of beer I drink, a $50 tab is not unheard of by the time the night is over.
Mmmmmm craft beer.

There's always the less often but entirely enjoyable and often more economical other option to running up a tab on craft beer, Cat; making your own!
It's entirely enjoyable and utterly addictive, becoming one of us initiated into the alchemy of homebrewing.
We actually have a few home brew suppliers around here. But it's kind of hard to get into it when I there's a beer factory two blocks from my office. (Oh Terrapin, you are so delicious to me...) No matter what I do, they're always gonna do better.
Catwho, does homebrew taste significantly better than the commercialized beer? I'm only a social drinker so I'm curious. I only ask because I know fast food, tastes inferior to good home cooking. So I was wondering if they put all that Tender, Love, and Care into making beer.
To me (I know, I'm stealing the question from Catwho), homebrew is often superior to commercial because it's unique, personal, and you can make it however you want. There are, of course, some microbrew and craftbrew locales that can offer quite a competitive option if they have something that you like, but you lose some of the pride and fun of having made it with your own two hands. Also, the alchemy (for lack of a sufficiently fun alternate term for it) of brewing is just FUN!
I also take the opportunity to explore all sorts of concoctions that can be made; for instance I also ferment mead and if I do say so it is delicious

Self reliance for the win!
Beer is gross.

I don't really care for it either. Guiness is the only one I drink with any regularity. I'm not really an alcohol fan at all, but if pressed, I generally lean towards whisky and scotch.
I don't like hard liquor either, actually. Most of it tastes like diesel.
I can put away some Long Islands though.

I recently stayed a few weeks at an Embassy Suites in California. Free happy hour from 5-7, including hand mixed Long Islands. I managed not to embarrass myself, but only just. lol

Craft beer like they're talking about is way more expensive because it's a very small batch.
$1.50-$3.00 pulls of Buttwiper or PBR is pretty common though.
Medalla is only $0.25 Here XD!

The cheapest craft brew around here would be from Copper Creek, a microbrewery that does $2 pint Tuesdays. Normally, their house brews are $3 each for 16 oz, which isn't bad. And it's straight from the tank to the tap, so you get the freshness of home brew without any of the mess.
I' don't like beer on it's own taste. I usually drink it with or w/o Italian food, mostly pizza. I go with spanish imports which tend to have less salt and I mix that into a chillada or salt/lemon chaser.
For liquor or wine I can't stand the high proof ones. For me the as the proof rises, I can taste rubbing alcohol more and more.
Margaritas, Daquiris, Pina Colada, Tom Collins, and Real Sangria are my favs.

I got a bottle of Knob Creek bourbon on a friend's recommendation and my first sip had me spluttering. Apparently I had grabbed the 9 year old single barrel reserve small batch that is 100 proof. Felt like I was breathing fire every time I exhaled.
After that it was back to Bulleit for me.

I do like a nice cider. J.K.'s is my favorite.
One good steak dinner for two will cost you more than the entry cost for this game - just saying.
Shiner Bock!
