Avenger, where do you live?

I can buy 24 16 ounce Coke cans for about $6.50.

In other words, you are paying .0695 cents per ounce, while I pay .0169 cents per ounce. You got some kind of coke tax or something?

I live in upstate SC. We have 12 oz aluminum cans (usually the cheapest option), usually in 12 and occasionally in 24 packs, 16 oz (for coke) and 24 oz (for Pepsi) bottles in 6 packs, and 2 liters (usually 1.25 apiece, sometimes less on sale). I don't drink coke at home. I drink tea. I'm referring to 20 oz bottles from convenience stores- I'm on the road constantly.

We don't get the 16 oz cans, though. Never seen them. Do they kind of look like "tallboys" ala big beer cans?

I meant 12 ounces, which changes my price per ounce to .0226, still a lot less than you are suffering under.

Oh. Well, still doesn't really help me that much. I'd use cans, but having a way to keep them cold, plus not forgetting to get them from the fridge, etc...

I'm dumping the caffeine anyway, soon, and we've only got a couple of weeks till the end of the semester. I'll quite then.

Beer.  That's my problem, "beer."

I am 6', 250 lbs, and reside within walking distance of a micro-brewery.

I mean, it is not a short walk, but a walk nonetheless.  A brisk 15-20 minute job, into town, and I think, "you know what would taste good?"

It's all downhill from there...

Thankfully, I don't have that problem. I don't dare touch any alcohol, due to fear of becoming an alcoholic- it runs in the family.

Would that be Blvd Brewery?

It is always better to eat 6-8 small meals throughout the day.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Powerplant Restaurant and Brewery in Parkville, MO.

Serious: it's not about the alcohol, I just LOVE the taste.  Hoppy, sort of bitter, refreshing with a slight citrus acidity and a creamy, nitrogen, head...

I admit to a psychological "addiction," however.  For example, when George Foreman lost to Ali, he was morose.  Unhappy.  Depressed.  He sat there and thought, "what makes me happy?"  As it turns out, it was cheeseburgers.  He thought, "I can have one of these whenever I want."  And he did.  Untold numbers.  He became HUGE.

Later, he figured that such didn't really, make him happy, he just didn't know how to get past the humiliating and personally hurtful loss.  Eventually, he refocused his life, became Heavyweight Champion (again) and our favorite shill for a machine that allows him to grill his desired burgers in a healthier way.  (To be honest, there's a lot to admire about the guy.)

For those who have perused the thread, I got divorced and it sucks.  Right now, those brews are my cheeseburgers.  Eventually, I'll get past it and become an improved guy.  Smiley

Let us know how it goes.

Last month, I spent $400 on sushi.  Thusly, <$400 for -- in theory -- a months worth of food seems equitable.

I need to, I think, figure out "portion control" and when I am "full."  Throughout my life, such has vacillated based upon my exertion level.  If I moved, at all, I could eat what I desire, I'd bet...

But, I don't.  So, portion control.  (I will move some, later.  COLD here.)

Have a friend from my regular job who has family that at one time was the manager there.  Never have been there yet.  Hope to make it the next time I hit KC.
