I've got a few years until I really have to start worrying about what's going to give me a worse hangover. I'm trying to think of the most expensive I've bought and honestly it was probably that time I bought the $15 bottle because they were out of the $10.

This reminds me of when I accidentally went to a fancy restaurant because it was part of the Inn I was staying at that had $1000 bottles of wine and I ordered a Caesar. Clamato juice comes in 3 sizes: Why would I bother buying one this small (Small), Enough for myself ( Medium), and Enough to share with a few people(Party Size). This restaurant had the bottle so small I wouldn't even bother buying it for myself and they had it for the entire restaurant. It's a toss up between that moment and when I started googling things on the menu that I realized this place wasn't really my kind of place.
