brew on beer/wine
work @ bar (this is ideal, as you get free food as well, and meet hot drunk chicks/guys - however, the 2-3 hour drinking sessionsafter closing really affect your work)
1) drink at home, not out at expensive bars
2) get men to buy me drinks when I am out at bars
3) embrace cheap booze. give me a bottle of blackberry boones and I'm a happy camper for an evening. Not to say I wouldn't be happier with something nicer, but I guess the point is that beggars can't be choosers.
as for me, when duty calls, i drink a six-pack of some nice harpoon or smuttynose IPA then finish the night off with endless PBR...hurts the stomach, but not the pocketbook.
Work for a firm that does lots of interior design work. You'll always be getting wined and dined by product vendors and being invited to lavish showroom parties with open bars.
drink whiskey | don't chase | mid shelf should do the trick } you'll need less to fall on your ass and still have change in your pocket unless you trip and it all falls out.
drinking is living...all of my money is spent on merlotch...and sometimes whiskey...and sometimes cuba libre...and sometimes cape codder...and sometimes cosmopolitan...and sometimes mojito...and sometimes rum punch...and sometimes margarita...and sometimes valpolicella...and sometimes zima...and sometimes tequila...no, wait, i usually get the tequila as a courtesy from bartender
anyhow, the important thing is to drink...drink often...and drink with daring creativity...and fireworks help too
if i remember correctly, you're also fond of yeungling, apurimac? that's pretty cheap...but dogfish head is amazing. hoppy hoppy stuff.
back in college my roommates and i would do it up with 40s of Steel Reserve. high gravity. the stuff ruined you, and for about $3 ea., it made for a cheap night. but so gross.
drinking games have allowed me to drink hard and often on other peoples dime.
im sure you all have your own; beer pong, quarters, baseball. i preferred ones that allowed me to continue to drink when i couldn't afford drinks. pong and quarters especially.
drinking games and binge drinking are productive ways to save time. drink harder and faster, and you will be afforded more quality social time with your friends, you can reach an equal state of inebriation even after working late in the studio, or you could just pass out earlier thus allowing more time to recover and a better chance of making it to class in the morning.
one of my favorites when i was in school with used to play a game called edward 40 hands..... in which all participants would be required to duck tap a 40 on each hand. having both hands taped around bottles makes it almost impossible to open your fly or do any of the necessary maneuvering needed to relive yourself. YOU MUST DRINK BOTH 40's before you can pee.
its a great way to get the evening started...... just don't make so much noise that the cops have to come and your stuck explaining why you cant open the door because your hands are taped to bottles.
does drinking enough to forget how much your spending count as perceived savings?
also, i found this nice ipa at trader joe's in boston made by kennebunkport brewing that is only $5.99 for a six-pack, which is the best deal i've found on such a good beer. not sure of the availability outside this area though
how do you save money and still drink a lot
How do you architects drink and have the money to live?
I'm doing a project on this and need some answers.

two words:
SPARKS LIGHT
Be a girl, and smile prettily. Or you can get a boyfriend/husband.
FRANK YOU SUCK! stupid troll
it's the beer fault!
ryanj,

google image search = cheap beer cartoon; second page, second image
i wonder if i start to drink if i'll be able to calm down....... just wine though.......hmmmmm
well, it's worth giving a shot, cryzko.
(that's not a stupid liquor pun, by the way.)

Work for a firm that encourages social drinking (and maybe even stocks the fridge with beer).

box wine
Get invited to friends houses for dinner that you know always have alcohol on hand.
Flirt a little at the bar and get a guy to buy you a drink.
Wait for Cold Beverage Friday at work and stock up.
just don't eat.
beer = liquid bread
^ word.
or if you're irish...
$beer < $water
(atleast that's what i hear)

Irish Yoga anyone.
techno, i think i did that in high school/undergrad a few times, but we never had the sense to call it that...
just be careful not to gag on your vomit.
db has the right idea, buy in bulk...
buy 15.5 gallon kegs.
-15.5 gallon keg of fat tire = $149.99 or
-$139.99 for foster's
-stone ipa will cost you $169.99 per keg
1 gallon=128 ounces
15.5 gal. X 128 = 1984 ounces
1984 ounces / 12 oz. (1 bottle) = 165 (12 ounce serving)
$149.99 / 165 = 90 cents per 12 ounces
initial costs: keg, tap, mini refrigerator?
90 cent beers, and if you drink a twelve pack a night then the keg should last you 2 weeks.
get your drinks AND stay in shape: volunteer for every friend's moving or house construction/renovation project. drinks usually follow.

I would also suggest that you move closer to a fraternity - there's always a party, I'm sure it would also be a good way to well get laid too.
