We don't have a budget for alcohol, I never really even thought about it. I guess per month for the house we spend about $30 a month, but that doesn't include drinking when we eat out.

On average, nothing. We hardly ever drink and only buy alcohol every 3 months or so if someone is coming or if we run low. Even then we dont spend too much .

probably about $30 a week on average.

I am the queen of the cheap whites for every day use. dh drinks red mostly.

we don't spend more than $10 for a white, $15 for a red for our "every day" wine.



Same here. I'm a big fan of Barefool and Bollo. We spend about $30 a week on average as well between wine and DH's blueberry vodka Chat Icon

$0 - we really don't drink I think if we pick up a 6 pack of beer or a bottle of wine 3-4 times a year that is a lot.

I'd say anywhere between $30-$85. We do a lot of cooking with alcohol and we both entertain family and friends frequently. So we always have beer and wine and hard liquor in the house.

No idea, we don't budget for it and just buy it whenever we want it. I wouldn't even know where to guess a number lol. DH & I both enjoy our drinks Chat Icon



Same here, I never really thought about it. Some months more, others less. We often buy obscure craft beers and different wines to keep on hand.

If I had to guess, maybe $100 or more.
That doesnt count going out and ordering drinks though.

Re: Beer/Wine/Alcohol Budget...?

It depends on the month. I usually stock up on wines in one shot so that could be $60-$80. Beer is about $40-$50 a month.

Nothing. We have a stocked liquor cabinet, but only make drinks for special occasions or for company.

On a daily basis, neither of us drink at all, so we never buy alcohol unless we are having people over.



same here.

Same here. We keep it in the house for people and occasionally, he'll buy a case of beer. But that's about it.

Usually $0 - we rarely drink. And when we do drink, it is usually whatever we have leftover from parties.

Re: Beer/Wine/Alcohol Budget...?

some months more than others.

We are part of a wine club so we get a shipment 4 times a year..comes out to a case a year.

Others throughout the year as well I couldn't tell you how much that is. It really varies.

Used to be about 50/mo. but now that DH discovered Costco has great prices on alcohol it's probably closer to 80-100/mo.

We don't really drink in the house.


But our "going out" bill would be expensive:

We still have a full wine rack of bottles I got as part of a Bridal Shower basket gift in 2007 ... collecting dust Chat Icon

DH will have a beer at home every once in a while, but its generally left over from whenever we recently entertained. He's currently still working on the leftovers from the Superbowl.

Re: Beer/Wine/Alcohol Budget...?

I wouldn't even hazard a guess...Chat Icon

Oh what the heck, now I'm thinking about it.

I like expensive vodka but buy the larger bottle so it lasts longer (over a month) and wine, I spend about $10-15 a bottle and probably buy 2-3 bottles a month. Averaging it I'd say $50-60/month for home.

Going out is a completely different story, I probably spend about $40-60 a week.

Shitt, I drink a lot! Chat Icon
