I never say no to going out with friends just because it might cost me money (unless I don’t really like them :-) )
I also don’t spend 50 bucks at a bar on beer.
I’ll usually have 1 drink, and then just enjoy the conversation, company, jokes, etc.
If you don’t trust yourself, just bring your ID and 5 bucks (+cover if there is one) to the bar, and you won’t have to worry about getting carried away and spending more than you want.

It is amazing to me that so many people live day-to-day without even giving tomorrow a second thought. I wish more people would learn when to say when and actually put something back for the future. BB,
