There's never been a point in my life where going out drinking all night has made financial sense. A meal and a beer at a pub, sure, but bars are expensive. And loud. And cramped.

The kids are on to something.

You just have to live in the right city with sufficiently high rates of alcoholism! In Fargo, ND you could get a tall 200 lb+ man proper sloshed over an evening downtown across 5-8 bars for $50 or less as recently as 2019. Not as cheap as drinking at home, but enough that most folks without kids working full-time could do it every other weekend.

See, but that's the rub! Who the fuck wants to spend $50 and go to that many bars? I could get a new AAA game for that much that I'll play for hundreds of hours. Or 10 indie games that I'll play for longer!

$50 fro 6pm-2am is cheaper per hour than a movie ticket or dinner at a restaurant, and hitting that many bars is easy when they’re all on the same 2-3 block stretch!

Fargo, ND

Well there's your problem, North Dakota doesn't exist.

If you heard the horror stories I heard from friends that went there to work the oil fields, this would be a very very good thing.

$50 or less in 2019? I live in a more urban area of the US than this and if you pregame and go with friends, you can get the equivalent of 5 drinks at 3 bars for well under $20. In 2025.
