I'm happy that there's someone out there who isn't particularly experienced with alcoholism, genuinely, but your figures are very, very off

$100 a month on alcohol is like, 5-6 low tier cases of beer. That's just 5-6 beers a day. That's alcoholism to be sure, but the degeneracy goes way, way further.

If you work at a liquor store, you'll see the grandma who comes in 3x a week to buy a cheap plastic handle of vodka. Or the guy who buys a 12 pack and two shooters, every single day. Or the new mom who goes from buying 2 bottles of wine a week to 10.



Depends on what youre buying, and how raging of an alcoholic you are.

I probably spend around 100 a month and I would be clinically considered an alcoholic.
