It's also bad for the wallet.
15$ margaritas at restaurants is absurd. More than some meals on menu.
Plus I feel like they under pour the alcohol or barely give you the minimum if you do get one. They’re like Starbucks drinks, sugar bombs with a little bit of the ingredient you actually want.
If you go to Starbucks, it's because you want sugar, not coffee.
Hey now, I get an extra shot of espresso when I get Caribou because I want sugar and coffee!
During COVID, one of the fun treats I'd get myself to keep my spirits up was a $15 margarita from a local Mexican place that delivered. Totally worth it though because it came in a quart-sized deli container (which I'd use to store the leftovers in after drinking all 32 ounces of that margarita in one sitting).
Since COVID ended, I drink way less and I've lost like 10 or 15 lbs just from that, and I look back on those margaritas with a mixture of fondness, fear, and a tiny bit of disgust.
It’s honestly why I rarely drink much now. I am mostly a social drinker so it’s more of the fact it costs more and I am less social these days which puts me off from it. The only times I drink alone is when I want to pair some wine with a meal that complements it or having a few cold beers on the weekend while doing yard work.
This. Just like everything else in this country alcohol is getting expensive, not just cheap alcohol but all alcohol. I am not a drinker, but I have on occasions enjoy a drink here and there even for myself the price is too much to enjoy anymore.

Never head of it before. Cool thanks.
