Just be sure to tip with every drink. Usually a buck per drink. If you do, the bar staff will likely make your drinks stronger, so it's actually good economics. And if you don't they may decide to have it in for you.

Keep in mind you are drunk and they are sober and control the place - so you want to be friends with them at all costs. As they might well figure out you're from the states, you may be at a disadvantage to begin with.

when i buy a whisky for $5 bucks it's literally one shot

look, if you want to actually get drunk without paying out the ass predrinking a bit is basically the only way to do it seeing as how liquor store prices are pretty much half or less what you pay in a bar

yeah that's two pints here of sparkling ale here, but $12 for a whole night out, where was this... vietnam? my night out on the booze usually cost around $100-$150

Dive bars/gay bars are where it's at. I'm not gay so sometimes I have to awkwardly turn down guys trying to start up a flirting session, but it's worth it....


GIN AND TONIC FOR $2.25

what the fUCK


edit: infact, it's more fun to drink with gays and women than straight guys and women. they're nicer and sometimes help you get laid! props to yall

Gotta love Mexico. They don't even care how old you are! I went there when I was 11 or so, and could have gotten drunk for even less than $12 (being young and cheap and all).

if there is a neon light sign outside shaped like an elderly walrus, do not venture forth.

Pre-drink. Its cheaper, more bang for your buck and then you have money to tip and buy late night greasy pizza.

Dead-Air and RdTv both speak the truth. haha

Good idea.

Thanks. You may want to check out what places server food late. I dunno how long of a night you're trying to have but keep in mind most joints stop cooking around 11, 12 at the latest.

Which raises an interesting question to all Canadians: does Canada believe in Waffle House or IHOP, are these alowed in a socialist country? If not, what good chains of 24 hour eaterys can one expect?

ihop is only in bc, and strangely not in the big cities there

you have to go to a truck stop, or tim hortons,but there's denny's and shit like that same as in the usa

if the leaders of this country knew what dissorder thrived within your all night food providers, war woild be the order of the day. Headlines: Peace talks fail between USA and Canada; Lack of fat,greasy, 24 hour drunk tank-restaurants sighted as fault!

happy hour!

it's true, however the truck stop is generally superior to ihop, classic country on the jukebox is an absolute must

I don't even buy alcohol haven't touched the stuff in over seven years, just free tap water for cup of ice which you don't get with a 5 dollar bottle, and I still leave tips for the bartender, its just necessary. that is for gigs, for bar-hopping nights you'll probably just find me outside with all the cigarette smokers smoking some weed. I often wonder how I even end up at bars to begin with, because I rarely chill inside of them when I get there.

My point, exactly. Of course, sometimes being drunk before you go to the bar won't mean you're not going to "unintentionally" spend more money!

Absolutely agreed. Although,(and I'm not including myself or friends in this group, just a generalized statement about people in my local bar scene.) drunk hipsters and tired rednecks usually dont mix.

god i wish we still had dennys here :(
Ddd 2.50 for a g and t that is amazing! I'd be there in a second.
