Ozzy here. But the test is skewed. "Going out" drinking is a lot more expensive than drinking at home, which is what I do. I figure "at home" drinking to be about a fourth of the cost of going out.
$173,846 x .25 = $43,461.50 over a thirty year period. Over thirty years, that averages to about $1,448.7 per year. So my liquor bill is about $1,500 yearly, or about $30 per week.
