Booze and $

So for Lent I've given up drinking. I feel fantastic (although I have cheated 2x), but it's also cutting back on my restaurant bills, which is great because that's one of my biggest expenses (outside of rent of course).  I think even when Lent ends, I'd like to cut back to drink only 1 day a week. I just feel a lot better, and booze at restaurants is so expensive. I rarely drink at home. In NYC everyone mostly meets their friends out, not at their apartments. So it's expensive. I wish I lived somewhere where people hung out at each others' houses. I would save so much $.
