How much do you spend annually on your beverages?

[Anonymous]

A lot. My husband is a bourbon fan, and will go on a trip once or twice a year with friends where they buy a whole barrel. his share usually is 2-3 cases, to that'll be anywhere from $1000-$1500, sometimes more. And then there's random bottles he buys, some of which are anywhere from $100-$500. My crappy wine (which I like just fine) and occasional latte doesn't really make a dent after all that. We don't buy a lot of coffee out, but will have wine or beer when we go out to dinner.

Get a soda stream! Better for the environment as well. Pays for itself (for me) in about 3 months)

I had one for a long time and the bubbles just aren’t as good.

We use Aarke. The bubbles are much better!

So much.

Weekly my husband drinks at least a gallon and a half of juice and a half gallon of milk. The kids drink a half gallon of cider. I drink 2-3 cups of hot tea a day and my husband has one, I like expensive tea bags. We also drink a fair amount of wine and have relatively expensive tastes when it comes to wine…if I had to guess we probably spend $600 in a regular month in wine, closer to $2k the two months of the year our wine club shipments arrive. We mostly drink Champagne and other sparkling wine.

Haven't tallied, but we're probably in the moderate to low category here.

Coffee--nearly never have it out, but household (2 adults, 2 teens) will drink daily 3-8 cups of espresso from fresh ground beans. Say $300/yr.
Mainly drink water, so maybe $100/yr for filters.
Tea maybe $60/yr.
Milk/oat milk is mainly supplementary so $140/yr.
Beer/Wine/spirits for entertaining roughly $500/yr.
Wine/spirits for us are occasional--so maybe $200/yr.
Occasional specialty drinks for kids--bubble teas, kombucha, sodas--I don't know--$200/yr?

Very ballpark total: $1400?

Everyone else seems to like spindrift more than me.

I only like 3 of them (lime, raspberry lime, and pink lemonade). The others are meh.
Also, if you still drink other delicious things, like wine and juice, I can see why they might not be that great...

I mainly drink water with one coffee in the AM and one decaf tea in the PM in the winter. I drink wine socially but not regularly. I allow myself one LaCroix a day in the summer (instead of the tea) which I prefer over spindrift for whatever reason.

Way too much. Drink too many diet cokes and lattes.

But I almost never drink alcohol, so I guess I have that going for me!

A lot considering our overall budget--maybe $6000? (Not including milk, which I think of as more of a food since it has nutritional value.) We've often joked that if we wanted to quit our jobs one place to start trimming would be the beverage program. My spouse & I have a glass or two of wine virtually every day, coffee in the AM, teens drink tea and they pound seltzer in the summer. A couple of cocoa packets, the occasional case of ginger ale, probably a couple of six-packs of beer each year for entertaining--it adds up.

DP: Nah, I just think the people who tend to post the numbers are the ones who don't have too hard a time facing their beverage numbers. It's not their current spending vice. Those who have a beverage spending issue either have just written "Too much, don't want to know, a lot" etc. rather than add it up. I would have been one of these people when I wasn't remote working because I loved getting coffee as part of my routine and was much more likely to go out for happy hours. But now I can virtuously--and honestly-- post about my relatively low beverage spending.

We drink water, home brewed coffee and tea, and a few alcoholic beverages a month...maybe $400 or so a year.
