    Depends on whether the amount of beer available affects the amount consumed. I have noticed that a lot of times a 12 pack is like $3 more than a 6 pack. An 18 pack negligibly more than a 12. and a 24 not much more than an 18. so if you switch from 6 packs to 24 or 36 packs, your cost per unit could drop by 1/3 or more.

    I doubt you buy 6 packs unles its to sample a new flavor, and even 12 packs are questionable.

    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

    Your insight is invaluable. The amount available directly impacts the amount consumed. 30 packs of Busch is a normal purchase. Thinking about working a deal with the distributor to have it delivered directly to the ranch. Looking at buying a refrigerator trailer to buy in bigger quantities. For the moment I have to depend on the wife and her 1/2 ton Chevy. One week at a time. Sorry Old Dude, did not mean to derail the thread from coke a cola to beer.
