How much do you spend on alcohol?
Enter your drinks per week and typical cost to see what it adds up to over time.
How it works
Your weekly spend is simply drinks per week × cost per drink. We scale that to a month (×4.3 weeks), a year (×52), and five years, because the real number is the one that compounds. Bar and restaurant drinks cost several times what the same drink costs at home, so where you drink matters as much as how much.
Money is often the most concrete reason to cut back — alongside the calories and the health benefits. Setting a weekly goal brings all three down together.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the average person spend on alcohol?
It varies widely by how much and where you drink. The quickest way to know your own number is to multiply your typical drinks per week by what you usually pay per drink — bar drinks cost far more than drinks at home.
How do I calculate what I spend on alcohol?
Multiply your average drinks per week by your average cost per drink to get a weekly figure, then scale to a month (×4.3), a year (×52), and beyond. This calculator does it for you.
Does cutting back save much money?
Often more than people expect — because the cost compounds. Even a few fewer drinks a week adds up to hundreds of dollars a year, and thousands over several years.
