&quot;In order to spend $1000 on alcohol I only have to spend $33 everyday. Assume that I have 2–3 cocktails every other day (which are $10 each without tip), including some wine bottles every month for at home I can easily spend $1000.&quot;<p>2.5 * 15 times per month * $10 each + 20% tip = 450. &quot;Some wine bottles&quot; don&#x27;t add up to $550 extra. I&#x27;m sure you save some but it can&#x27;t be anywhere close to this high. Even if you include standard bar food in this you still wouldn&#x27;t crack $1k. And at that point you&#x27;re just not going out, not just giving up alcohol.
