Complaining About the Price of a Beer

$5.50! Can you believe this shit? $5.50 for a beer. This place is outrageous.

We know, we know. Life is unfair. Here's some ideas you might consider next time you feel put upon by the cruel indifference of the unjust universe:


  • Go home.
  • Don't drink so much.

Both probably good advice for any scenario come to think of it.

Here's a little exercise we want you to try. Take a look at this chart we've designed below:


5


Ok, now, print that out. Put it in your wallet. Next time you find yourself in a bar even thinking about complaining about the price of beer, pull it out and slash your wrists with a smashed salt shaker.

This figure represents some number crunching we've done on the average price of a beer give or take a buck or two. Sometimes you might get a bit closer to $10 for some specialty shit, in which case. Sometimes you might go a dollar or two under, in which case.

Meanwhile pour that bowl of loud mouth soup in the general vicinity of your gob and let me drink in peace for five seconds for Jeff's sake.

Remember that scene in Pollock where he tried drinking a beer on his bike while balancing a case of it on the handlebars? Well that photo looks like he used that as the medium for one of his pieces.

I haven't seen that in a while, but I saw a dude with shitty tattoos riding his bike on the sidewalk yesterday while trying to talk on the cellphone and drink a large iced Dunkies at the same time. It was like seeing a unicorn. I was transfixed.

Paying 5.50 to drink a shitty draft beer in the middle of nowhere while I'm surrounded by people transfixed by the 7000 televisions blasting a game played by a team nobody gave a shit about 17 months ago but whose success has since become crucial to the mood of an entire city is on the list, as is coming out to meet me and expecting me not to complain about shit LUKE ONEIL

Also you spelled peace wrong.

said...

deflecting and defensive!

You love that wolf font!

said...

complaining that bars are only open til 2am? probably alot of crossover w/ these folks

Anonymous said...

only couple types of people who need to be out after 2am. coke heads, and people who for some reason are always still hanging around with their boring coke heads friends.

I'll pay $5, but I put it in a glass, for crying out loud. When I go to TT's and have no choice but to drink beer emptied into plastic cups through tap lines that haven't been cleaned since Bullet Lavolta was second slot on a Tuesday, well, I'd rather not pay over, say, $4. They're not even SOLO cups, man. What the fuck. $5.50 for a guaranteed hangover is too high a price to pay.

all true, but how about going to TT's maybe a hundred times over the course of your life, still getting the same thing every time, and continuing to complain about it years later?

when I stick my finger in my anus, I'm not surprised when it comes out smelling like poop.

said...

how about we put sticking your finger in your anus and smelling it on the list?

said...

going to go ahead and put drinking beer in general on the list.

said...

go ahead and don't.

Me, I go to the back bar or I don't drink. But that doesn't change the fact that the situation sucks, now, does it?

said...

You can drink wherever you want, pal. Just save the price point critique for the Cheeto stained blog you run out of your mom's basement.

said...

shit, i'm on the list.
