Reducing expenses on alcohol.

     Sales for alcohol along with coupons and rebates occur frequently. Stock up on a particular beverage you prefer when the item is on sale. Look for any rebate offers, but beware of the rebates requiring the purchase of an item of no interest to you. Take advantage of stores willing to match competitor prices so you don't have to travel to several stores offering different sale prices. Be sure to present the advertisement at the time of purchase. Look for alcohol rebates listed at http://www.beveragedollarcoupons.com. The web site will mail you a copy of any of the rebate offers listed.

     The best method for saving on alcohol is not to drink or to reduce your consumption. Alcohol is not cheap and the price continues to rise, particularly due to tax increases. Keep track of the amount you spend on alcohol and then consider what you could have done with the same money. You will realize the capability of achieving a long-term goal or a long-term enjoyment as opposed to a short term high.

     Consider mixing and/or bringing your own alcohol to a social event if you are able to bring your own beverages. Preparation before the event is a lot more economical than paying for each individual drink.

     Always be sure not to drive with an open container and not to drive while intoxicated. Have a backup plan for a friend or some other arrangement to ensure a safe return home.
