Maybe not that much but not that far off. I mean grabbing a few beers at a brewery or a bar will be 50 bucks/week. Probably another couple hundred on 3-5 bottles of wine.

We don't have kids yet though, so I'm guessing those days are numbered.

We only eat off nutrition plan twice a week. 1 is a clean cheat like sushi, or a steak, the other is a regular cheat and we each get a beer or a glass of wine with dinner once a week.



That’s no way to live

Yeah, you’re going to need to about double your current budget.

There are plenty of good wines in the $10-15/bottle range. Your average person probably couldn't taste the difference between a lot of those and a $50/bottle in a blind taste test.

We were pretty bad for a while there. Probably close to what you spend. And that was just for what we had at the house.there was probably another $200 a month spent out.

Luckily we both just out of nowhere stopped drinking really. I've bought beer once for the house in the last year, she may have had 2 bottles of wine.

I still drink a little outside the house, but not anywhere close to what I used to.

If you drank plenty before having kids, it won't stop after... it's just going to mostly be at home after the kid finally goes the frick to sleep.

$0. Thats also the yearly alcohol expenditures as well. It just doesnt appeal to us.

We are more herbally inclined though

We don't have little kids anymore but you definitely spend a lot more time at home after kids. We might go out to eat occasionally but we are generally home by 7.

The wife and I usually split a bottle of red wine on the couch in the evenings. I'm sure that adds up at about $10-15/day
