My recently turned 21 son and his recently turned 21 GF were lamenting about the cost of alcohol at bars & restaurants.   Yeah you gotta pay to play...

The next day there was a bottle of rum & vodka in the pantry. I guess they are going to mix their own drinks now?

Back in the early 1990s, I was a bartender in a trendy restaurant.  Domestic beers were $1.25 and imports were $2.50. I remember the high end liquor was $3.25 a shot.

About 10 years ago 8 guys from New York stopped in the little corner bar near my house. One of the guys plopped down a hundred dollar bill and said catch around for his friends. We he got his change he thought the bar tender made a mistake.

When he asked what where the drink prices were the look on his face was priceless. And then he bought the entire bar around. Pint beer was $1.50 and mixed drinks were $2 bucks for happy hour. 

You can still find VFW halls that are open to the public that have $1 pints. There might be only one brand on tap but it's only one dollar.
