Some people say drinking beer is just a waste of time… businesshackers believe that beer = investment…. what really matter is to save money… PFadvice wrote a brilliant post about beer and introduce what they call a beer calculator…
It goes without saying that you “may be looking for ways to reduce the amount you pay for all the cold ones you guzzle down. Here are 10 ways to keep the beer flowing while still keeping some green in your wallet:

If you have the choice, avoid purchasing your beer in bars and restaurants where they are typically much more expensive.

If you are drinking at a bar or restaurant, drink during Happy Hours or during special promotions when beer is cheaper.

If you drink a lot of beer and a single brand, purchase it in bulk (by the case).

Buy your beer at discount warehouses or other discount stores rather than at retail liquor stores.

If you are going to drink at a baseball, football or other sporting event, go a few hours early and drink your own beer at a tailgate party.

Consider brewing your own beer

If you like expensive beer, make your first two that brand and then switch to a cheaper brand after that since you wonâ€™t be able to tell the difference after that.

If you arenâ€™t brand loyal, go for the beer on sale or that is discounted.

Pour slow and tilt the glass - this will reduce the amount of foam in the cup giving you more beer to drink.

In the summer, look for beer that comes with coupons for meat, hot dogs or other BBQ items that are usually purchased with beer during that season. This can save you quite a bit on these items and if you were already planning on purchasing them, reduce your overall BBQ costs.

Bonus Tip: Always take a designated driver - if you get pulled over after you have been drinking, youâ€™re going to pay a lot of money for the ticket, for a lawyer and for increased auto insurance”.
