Let me give you the brutal truth. A Gin and Tonic costs between $4 and $30. The only difference between a $6 drink and a $28 drink is your level of self-deception. The cheap one gets you drunk. The expensive one makes a great Instagram post. Both end up as the same puddle of regret in the morning.
So next time you see that price, just laugh. You are paying for ice, water, and a story. And honestly? That story is pretty tasty. Just don’t expect change from a twenty.
