A young lady I was talking to mention she pays upwards of $15 for a drink at clubs.

I don't drink alcohol at all, or go to clubs, so I don't have any experience with the prices of drinks at clubs, but that price sounds pretty ridiculous.  |

| I went to a Dropkick Murphys concert a couple of weeks ago and paid $12 for 24oz of beer. I had 3. I was pretty buzzed. That's not the point. The point is, drinks are damn expensive. |

The price is right. But I know the story is phony.
It was the "she pays" part that tipped me off. |

If she was a looker she wouldn't have to pay, would she pass the Jersey doorman test? |

LOL...that's good.
For $12 I can buy a 12 pack at the grocery store and drink with the neighbors on the back patio...of course as married folk, the patio scene isn't quite as exciting as the club scene. |

Going rate for a beer in my neck of the woods is about $5.00, which is ridiculous.
Buying a case of beer to enjoy at my leisure with friends costs about $30-$35. Even at the high end, this comes to $1.45 per beer.
I'm no economist, but... I think I'll stay on the deck with my friends.
I don't drink liquor, but I routinely see $9-$12 drinks on the drink menus at restaurants. Unreal. |

Yikes...I don't think I paid that much in US dollars at clubs in London...but that was like 15 years ago. I think maybe I was paying $5-8, at most.
I think $8 would be my limit...and it would have to have a lot of booze, like a martini or Long Island. |

| I would think a drink should be around $8 for top shelf, but I guess it depends where you are. |

| I believe it. Especially if it's an area like NYC. $6 for cokes that come in tiny little 5 oz glasses suck, too. |

Fixed.
I suppose you've got to factor in the "ambiance" of the club and the type of liquor. What city?
I will spend perhaps $10-12 at one of Pittsburgh's finest restaurants for a well-made Martini. And I will have one. Because I am sensible enough to have preloaded with a cocktail at home and to have drinks in the fridge at home for later.
But I also agee w/ JK.

| $3.00 for a bottle of water at an air show (which wouldn't allow you to bring your own cooler in). It was a dangerous hot day so they made a mint off the crowd. |
