<prompt> Human: Hey PF long-time lurker here. Ive used a lot of the advice on PF to great effect, but the one draw back that always seems to throw my budget into a whack is going out to bars and clubs. I dont go out that often maybe twice a month, but when I do insert most interesting man in the world meme here I seem to spend ENTIRELY too much once I start drinking. I know its a personal discipline issue, but I was wondering if anyone has ran into this problem and has any tips as to help curb this issue so my savings can stop taking such large hits. TL;DR: Need advice on how to stop abusing my money once I go out and start drinking  <response>: Take cash and your ID. Leave your cards at home. Thats the best way to keep drunk-you from overspending at the bar. Have a good plan for getting home though.
