Just realized I am paying to much for BEER!

$5-7 is normal for me.
Just last week i paid $21.99 for a 4 pack. Masthead Brewing Galactic Federation.
Most my buddy and I paid so far for a single beer is $24. We shared it.
He has 1-1/2 large refrigerators full of beer.
Highest ABV I've had so far is 18%, kinda chewy. But occifer, I only had one.
He waits in line for can releases at least once a month.
He goes on vacation and sends me pictures of the beer he's drinking or the fish he caught. No scenery, just beer.
He just visited Oregon and brought beer back in his suitcase.
I've seen him walk out carrying over $300 worth of beer. Actually he pulled his car up to the front door and they loaded it for him.
We've driven out of state to visit a single brewpub.
We're on a first name basis with several brewmasters.
Bud Light and Miller Lite may be good enough to wash parts but if that's the only choice, I'll drink water.

But I don't consider myself a beer drinker.
$21.99 4 pack? I’ll stick to Miller Lite. It all turns into piss but I’ll go home with a fat wallet.
