A recent poll done by the Bureau of Labor Statistics says that Boston households spend $813 a year on alcohol, which is almost double the national average ($454). So I guess we go hard? Or maybe we just like better and more expensive alcohol? Bostonians do have the best taste buds in America.
My solution: Mass-packages of good beer. Sure the variety packs (aka survival packs) are nice, but I want more. To start; make 30 racks of Sam Adams and Guinness. Eventually, we can make some Costco size purchases. Genius!
