Beer

You know the sentiment, “you don’t know how good you have it, until you’re gone”? Beer. As I keep moving around, beer seems to get more and more expensive. In Milwaukee, I would never have considered $12 for a six pack a bargain. On a good day in Denver I could buy a six pack of fat tire for $6.5. Seattle brought that number to $9.
So why, in Yokohama, am I *stoked* to find Kirin for $2/beer? (That makes a $12 six pack for all you fellow art-school kids.) It’s absurd!
On a similar note, yesterday I was out at a cafe and the sodas / juice / sparkling water was all in the $5-$7 range. I ordered a gin and tonic for $6.5.
Tell me, what is the incentive to stay sober if EVERYTHING is expensive?
