I wonder how much on an effect prices have in this. It's gotten more and more expensive to go out drinking, while the prices for alcohol haven't risen commensurately in my area. When you're paying almost the cost of a bottle of cheap rum for a single drink, suddenly drinking at home starts to make a lot more sense. Why spend $20 on a drink when you can for the same money buy a bottle of cheap alcohol, some mixers and snacks and have yourself and your friends a merry night? On a side note, this made me wonder why prices on alcohol haven't gone up all that much, despite the recent inflation. Most of the prices for alcohol at my nearby grocery store are the same as they were last year and the year before.
