Cost Of Living

Recently I took a weekend ski trip to Whitefish, Montana. Although the skiing was great fun, it's the nightlife I want to talk about. The first night we went to a bar where the drinks were $3 each -- except for fine scotch which was $4. I'm not just talking about cheap beers, but hard liquor too.

The last night we went to happy hour at a bar where you got a free pizza, enough for a meal for two or a good snack for four, when you bought a pitcher of beer for $8. We spent four hours in that bar while waiting for the train, having three or four pitchers of beer, four glasses of scotch, dinner, nachos, darts, foosball, pool and tator tots. All told, we spent $60. In Seattle you could get 6 drinks for that price.
