Minus 500 Drinks

[hillsidetime]

Hi everyone, I had a cool thought this morning. Since going sober, I wondered how many drinks I have not drank. From my old habit pattern, I figured out that I would have drank 500 drinks. I feel so much better without that poison in my body.

Better get my calculator for this one....

Prior to 25th Jan was about 11 bottles of wine per week at $ 18.00 per bottle = $ 198.00 / week.

Have been drinking a couple of bottles a week until about 3 weeks ago so my saving is....

Somewhere around $ 2000.00

Right....I'm off shopping!

Hey guys, great idea to add up the cash. For me it would be around $ 600 bucks. Sa-weet!

OK, here is a Canadian spend -
18 beer per week @ $30.00 per 18 = $540.00 (12 weeks AF) Plus
2 pints of Whiskey per week @ $12.00 per pint = $288.00 (12 weeks AF)
So thats 216 beer and 24 pints of whiskey at a total cost of $828.00 over 12 weeks.
Did I mention that one of my reasons I needed to quit was because it is so darn expensive to drink in Canada??? Wow amazing how much it is when you stop and add it up! And I believ I was being modest on the whiskey amount! my poor liver!

She could have bought a super yacht, but now if she keeps this up she can buy a super duper yacht
Well done Sheri.
I don't dare calculate mine, it would be too hard to do right now.
The mortgage for sure.
