Even the well off will be hesitant to over indulge.
Moral to the story? There's only one place to get sports bar priced beer and it usually comes with wings instead of top shelf, aged to perfection steaks! LOL!
I bet the food was great though!
The food prices already keep the riff raff out.

They do not even have any in stock. He said he could order them to which I replied, "I can order them." I wanted them today. So I ordered a set from Amazon for $22 including shipping.

I've had to learn moderation. Everytime I've attempted sobriety, I ended up drinking more. My rebellious side doubles down on quitting. Drinking occasionally, it's fine with it

I'd of been so tempted to ask them if they were aware that ironically? With nearly 1 million abortions a year in the USA alone? The most dangerous place on earth is a mothers womb and if ya don't believe it just look at the women protesting in the streets for the right to murder their own unborn so as far as bloodbaths go? Even Nam ain't got chit on the mothers of America.

And now off to my 3rd cup of coffee, shower then ride to the dealership.

Morning, morning Woods. Another rainy day here. We’ve had 9.58” of rain this month, 8” or so just this last week.

LO! C'mon Man! LOL! You live (and play) in FL so you know as well or better than most that "Riff"? knows no class bounds especially when it comes to libations and some of the most rifftiest riffs I've ever seen riff out were in high end establishments! LOL!

I guess they know the worst that will happen is they get escorted out to a free uber ride home where the people I hung with were super nice even when ripped cause they knew the only place they'd get escorted to is the dumpster out back! LOL!

Hey! Don't laugh! It kept the beer prices low! LOL!
