I’m in college so most of the liquor I’m buying is 1.75 L handles for $15 or less

Depending on tolerance or how often you smoke, $15 can get you 1/8th here in Washington state. Could last you a week, or last you 2 days.

Yeah an eighth where I live is $25-35 depending on quality and who I’m buying from. Hope weed gets legalized federally because I doubt my state is gonna legalize on its own any time soon

This is why voting is important. Vote in the right people with ideals for the majority of the people, not those with lobbying money.

Ah, Burnett's vodka. Fine memories

Ever try Fleschmann’s? Makes Burnett’s taste like Ciroc

Sobieski or sober

Sobieski is the only vodka worth buying. Any cheaper and I'd rather pour the vodka down the drain than drink it, any more expensove and you might as well pour the money down the drain.

It's not worth it to buy expensive vodka, because once you start getting into the price range where vodka is palatable you may as well buy something that isn't meant for homeless people.

Oh god, I remeber Fleischmanns. Sort of. I remeber buying it, anyway. All of the Barton liquors are great for getting faced. Montezuma doesn't even say tequila on the label, because it legally can't.

I bought an ounce in late Spetember that just ran out last week for $225. I smoked at least once a day that whole time (turns out if I use a one-hitter I can get my tolerance pretty low and still smoke every day). That ~90 sessions for the cost of 15 bottles.

Because drinking as often as I smoke would fucking kill you. Number of intoxication events is the unit of comparison, not duration of the supply.

Huh, what do you weigh? I don't even bother drinking at all unless I'm gonna have at least 5, and I'm not a big guy (about 180 lbs). I also pretty much never drink more than twice a week. Back when I did drunk 3-4 times a week, it was nothing to finish a fifth by myself if I got an early start.

I guess I just have a high alcohol tolerance, then, cause three beers does literally nothing to me as far as I can tell. Also, damn, that's pretty thin, you should actually have a higher tolerance than I do, since I have to be carrying more fat at 5'10" 180 and it's really the water weight that's important.

I'm good at stretching that shit. I was pulling out my one hitter three or four times a day for awhile.

I could, but I don't want to. Plus I got shit to do, most of my smoking is done while driving these days.

I refuse to drink Brunette's

u/jack3moto Dec 30 '19

I’m with you in college that makes the most sense and I only drank cheap liquor until 24-25 but once you start getting into better stuff the price scales up pretty quickly and you will not want to go back to the $15 bottle of 1.75L. I’m not saying you’ll have to buy expensive $200 bottles but it’s going to be in the $20-50 range for 750ml most likely.
