Seriously.

Went to an O's game last night (worst/2nd worst team in baseball, mind you) and paid $7.50. No crappy-team discount? They should be giving beer away as bad as the O's are.

I know there was a bar called the Starter Bar just outside of Lead that had beer for $2, or maybe it was $2.50, anyhow, the highest i seen was the FTS at $5.50 for a 16oz. I mainly drank lightly till we got back to the camp ground and then got good and buzzed. Well, except for the couple of nights we hit the Old Saloon No 10 in Deadwood. i love that bar.

Sections behind home plate at Yankee Stadium get $11 a beer for the privilege of sitting in these ''special'' seats and watching a bunch of millionaires sweat. Two local casinos in this area get $6.50 (16 oz. Bud Light) to $7.50 (12 oz. Shark Beer) Jimmy Buffet's.

$4.50 ain't bad at all. When they trap you somewhere for example MLB, NFL, etc you are looking at $9.00 for a 20oz beer. :| i was thinking you were going to say something like a $7 beer.

Now $4.50 is not ideal especially if you are talking about a 12oz. but its ok. Now its not like my local watering holes' $1 16oz PBR draft, now that is affordable.

Nope.. its because they have you trapped and know you will pay it. Or the all the alcoholics will make up for the one you don't buy by triple

I paid $3.00/beer in Whitewood at a beer garden with a live band. At the Chip, we would buy our beer at the trailers just east of the main gate. Get a bag of ice and a cooler. The price was in the $14.00 range, but it wasn't warm. I didn't think that was too bad. You can work around the prices for the most part. If not, it is a party for which you waited all year.

The beer was high everywhere but I expected it and planned for it. Most of the time when I was out riding the only thing I wanted to drink was water. The Crown jug was back at the camp so I new it was there waiting............

LMAO, no they already know how to make an *** out of themselves the beer is just a cover story.

Dodger stadium $10 a glass. Anaheim stadium bout the same. Concerts same if not more. Bars $5 + depending on the city.

Sorry what was the original question?
