Last night a friend of mine was complaining about $5 pints, and how he much prefers $4 bottles of watered down, carbonated piss. I patiently tried explaining the concept of unit price and how $5 for a pint is better than $4 for a bottle any day of the week. Factor in the tip, and it’s an even better deal.
Let me illustrate.
| 12-ounce Bottle | 16-ounce Glass | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beers | Price | Amount | Price | Amount |
| 1 | 5 | 12 | 6 | 16 |
| 2 | 10 | 24 | 12 | 32 |
| 3 | 15 | 36 | 18 | 48 |
| 4 | 20 | 48 | 24 | 64 |
| 5 | 25 | 60 | 30 | 80 |
| 6 | 30 | 72 | 36 | 96 |
| 7 | 35 | 84 | 42 | 112 |
| 8 | 40 | 96 | 48 | 128 |
The difference in price is splitting hairs, unless you’re binge drinking, which is typically the case these days. 3 pints is the same as 4 bottles but is $2 cheaper. If you’re buying drinks for a ‘special someone,’ double that. On top of that, it’s fewer trips to the bar, less waiting in line, and more face time with your friends.
So unless it’s happy hour, and bottles are a quarter, shut your hole and appreciate beer in a pint glass.
Listen, ass, you’re completely misinterpreting the situation. I drink fast, which means I’m going to go through more beers than most, which means it makes more sense for me to go with the cheaper beer. If I’m going to drink 8 beers I’d rather be buying $4 beers than $5 beers. Who gives a rat’s ass about 4 ounces?
you are so hot when you are being all mathematical
Larry, you’re missing the point. You’re still equating the $4 beer with paying less. The 4 ounces per pint your buying equal an entire bottle after 3 pints. It’ll take you longer to dirnk a pint. If you spent 40 bucks on 8 bottles, you could have bought 7 pints and gotten an extra 1 and a half bottles worth of beer for it.
