After speaking with people at a bar, most had no clue how much they spend on alcohol. With this experiment, I wanted people to take notice of how much they spend on alcohol in a year. Drinking not only affects the ones who drink the beverage; it affects one’s family, and their children by taking the money away from the yearly household spending fund.
