Is 30$ for all you can drink beer worth it?

[IronWing]

No. You only need about four dollars worth the beer to boil a dozen brats. Any more than that would be a total waste of money.

I have a few family members who would put that place out of business.

lmao, yeah, right. THEY don't pay $4 or $6 per glass, or whatever that bar charges - THEY are purchasing the beer by the keg. And, at a discount compared to the keg price for regular consumers. Their margin will be a little lower, but they're going to make a profit regardless.

And, if you decide that you're just going to get shitfaced & are trying to save money - just go to the store & buy a case of beer, save a few bucks, and have leftovers.

If it was a place I could comfortably hang out in for hours, it would be a good deal. Buy some sushi, and all you can drink beer, and you've got an inexpensive fun night out with friends.

 

[Jumpem]

No. Thirty dollars for a drink?

 

[destrekor]

$30? That's way too much. A pint of beer plus tip is about $6 around here. Keep in mind that a pint of beer is 473mL while a can of beer is 355mL.

How much is $30 worth:
($30) / ($6 per beer) * (473mL) = 2.365L of beer

I can't even drink a 2L of coca cola. Beer? No freakin way.

heh
I've drank 2 liters as a personal drink, right from the bottle. Granted, only at lan parties.

As for beer?
I could. Over time.
But not after eating a ton.

I've had 4 tall glasses (23oz?) after dinner at sports bars no problem. Envision I could drink one or two more, but other things start coming into play. Did I eat a lot? I won't drink a ton. What am I drinking? What do I plan to do the rest of the night?
So I could drink the volume of beer if it was $6/pint, though that's a pricey pint. I don't think I've paid more than $5/pint for specialty beers.

So at the places I think of, I don't think $30/unlimited would be a good deal. If the place charged $6/pint, not too bad of a deal.

hell yeah, thta is only 10 beers at a cheap dive bar.

 

[Alone]

I spend about $100 a night, three times a week on beer at the bars. Granted, that's at like, $5.50 a beer.

So, yeah, I think that would be a good deal for me.

Being a near alcoholic is by no means something to be proud of.

So I saw an ad at an All you can Eat place and on the side they had an unlimited beer on tap special (Sapporo, Kirin, etc) for 30$.

Now would you have to drink yourself comatose in order to make the deal worth it or is it physically possible to drink $30 worth of beer in one sitting?

(I remember Manswers had the limit around 16 or so beers before you died for a 160lb man)

I think that 160lb man would most likely vomit and not die.

Depends on the price of the beer though. $4-$5 is standard, and you can easily get $10 beers at places. I'm not paying $30 for all you can drink bud lite though.

I've been to places that charge as much as $50, but then again those drinks did come with a sweet Filipina that can sing really well.

:horror:
Oh I'm sure she sang alright...

Don't order the champagne, trust me, you can't afford it.

My friends and I were in a bar the other week, and in order to get a table, you had to order a $100 bottle of champagne. My friends were all mechanics and basically just wearing crappy tshirts and jeans, yet they insisted on buying the bottle of champagne.

My brother-in-law has been an alcoholic for nearly all his life.
I don't think there's been a day that he didn't drink AT LEAST an 18 pack of beer after work...some days, much more than that.
He did slow way down on drinking in bars after he got hit by a drunk driver while on his Harley and spend about a month in the hospital getting "rebuilt." (of course, my BIL was also "a bit" inebriated at the time and was also charged with DUI...the only one he's ever had in 40+ years of being an alcoholic)

He's been a carpenter all his life. He's one of the best woodsmiths I've ever known, and can do it all, from building the concrete forms for your foundation, all the way to the fine finish work and cabinets.

About 4 years ago, one of the "helpers" on the job knocked my BIL off the top of a house he was building, (he was working along the edge of the roof and the kid hit him in the back of the head with a 2x6) and he fell about 25' to the ground...and landed on his head.

He's pretty fucked up nowadays. He's had several surgeries, neuroscans, etc...and can barely walk. DMV yanked his license because of seizures.
FINALLY, something in his life has slowed his drinking down...When we saw him last, (about x-mas 2008) he was only drinking a 12 pack per day...but still smoking the green bud like a fiend.
