Chew on this: if all the money you spent on alcohol in a year’s time was invested it into bitcoins today, you would probably lose all of it when bitcoin market crashes anyways..

But, you would be healthier. Say, for example, that once a week an individual goes to a bar and buys 2 beers for his/herself and 2 for a friend, so generous. At $6 per beer that’s $24 per week, and let us round that to $30 since the bartender (regardless of individual preferred gender) is cute. Now, let’s say happy hour is once per week, $30 X 4 = $120 per month. There are 12 months in a year, that’s 12 X $120 = $1,400 per year for 192 beers. If there is an average of 150 calories in each beer it totals 28,800 calories per year or about 8.23 lbs of added energy per year. So, I suppose that means in 100 years this individual would be more than 823 lbs, right?!

What I think I’m getting at is even if you lost $1,400 through a risky investment, you still have much less work to do than if that same amount is spent on alcohol. What this theory lacks is that tons of great networking/friendship/relationship creation happens over a beer, but I’m brainstorming here better ways to create. What do you think?
