$200 you need to man up, what are you drinking handles of five o'clock
i spend like $30 a weekend average, probably $500 a semester. and way more in the winter

my rough estimate would be about 700. i figured 16 weeks times 45 dollars a week is 720, but that is probably a little bit high.

The problem is, is you spend as much as you have in the first semester, whether its 200 or 2000

I don't think I even want to run the math. Lets just assume it's probably somewhere around 3-500. Luckily I'm in a club that likes to by kegs for parties so that helps but then you add bars, and the random drinking I do and it all adds up quick

I mean I've probably bought around $200 in liquor alone, I go to the bar about once or twice a week, then  you have gameday purchases/ party purchases (thankfully the club usually buys kegs for our parties) and then the random I like to drink so my fridge usually has beer in it purchases.

I've easily spent 400+ this quarter.

how long is a semester?

Assuming a semester is from like Sept until now, then, like 1200-1600-- somewhere in there.

haha, that's so true. And if you have more money than you can drink, you start buying shots for other people, or becomming overly generous with beer at parties.

I think i figured out i spend about 30 bucks a week on booze, so like 120 a month. so 3 and half months = around 400. So i'd say anywhere from 250-350.

first year I spent around 13,000-15,000 on weed and booze.... I remember having fun but that's about as much detail I can recall. No regrets but I'm not about to do that again.

Don't drink
if I had to pay for all my weed it would be a lot though, but I've made money by smoking pot if you know what I mean...

maybe 50-100 bucks, i'm not a big drinker at school.
the only parties are always frat ones, and they blow. but when the cycle house or ski house is having a rager i'll throw down to get myself a little shitty.
