Just to sorta prove that I could, I went without drinking for a week.  Well, it was actually a tad more than that.  I'm trying to put some money away, and I earmarked beer as something I could cut back on to achieve that.  I calculated that on average, I spend about $4-5 a day on beer, be it trips to the bar, parties, chillin' round the hizzie...
