True Cost of Beer Drinking

Male Logic...... Flawless!

This is a conversation between a man and his wife. Please note that she asks 5 or 6 questions which I answered quite simply and she is speechless after answering only one question. I’ll bet this happens more often than not to most husbands out there; I’m just saying.


Critical Thinking
At Its Best!

Woman:
Do you drink beer?
Man: Yes

Woman:
How many beers a day?

Man:
Usually about 3

Woman:
How much do you pay per beer?

Man: $5.00 which includes a tip (This is where it gets scary !)

Woman:
And how long have you been drinking?

Man:
About 20 years, I suppose

Woman:
So a beer costs $5.00 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450.00. In one year, it would be approximately $5400.00 correct?

Man:
Correct

Woman:
If in 1 year you spend $5400.00, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000.00 correct?

Man:
Correct

Woman:
Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?

Man:
Do you drink beer?

Woman:
No.

Man:
Where's your Ferrari?

No, the true cost of beer, as with all alcohol, is when you shoot at tax collectors

She drinks Starbucks coffee. That's why she doesn't have a Ferrari.

The first time I went to Starbucks was also the last time, I thought their coffee was terrible! I thought I was back in the Navy!
