[quote=Anonymous]This sounds like a late 20-something person problem, when all your friends go out all the time and go away together. Give it 5 years, and everyone will be married with a tiny child and have no time for drinks out anymore. In the meantime:

-When you're out at a bar, switch on and off with drinking a glass of water/lemonade instead of alcohol. It'll hydrate you better, and cost wayyyy less. I was forced to do this when pregnant and, man, was I forced to see just how much cheaper it is to not spend all your money on alcohol. And before I was pregnant, I shifted into a "only buy drinks when I actually want one" mode. So if I really wanted a beer, I'd buy it. If I was ordering one for the sake of doing so around other people, I'd stick with water/lemonade/soda. Better for your liver, too. At first lots of people thought it was weird, but they got used to that just being how I was.
-Stop coloring your hair. Seriously, many women do at some point. (I just never started.)
-Check your bank account/investments regularly. So long as the balance is going up, it's a great motivator.
-Take out meals: we do take out, but usually only order for pickup now, instead of UberEats delivery. It's a good way to keep costs lower.[/quote]
