The latest statistical sample is skewed. Anything that includes both L.A. Beer Week and the Firestone Walker Invitational will be either the high or low point on the graph.
But let’s dig into the numbers and see what pops out about my drinking habits since the last check in at Week 5.
Leaving out the weeks where I was “festing”, the average ounce intake was 212.5 a week or 42.5 a day, over a 5 day drinking week. That’s over where I would like it but under the 240 ounce max weekly that I set at the start. From a high of 234 to a low of 196.
Crunching the cash numbers, I paid about $.35 per ounce of beer. Or 4.20 for a 12oz beer on average. This I ascribe to buying the high price chalices of beer and special beers that come with the territory of L.A. Beer Week. These are the $8-9 dollars beers that come in 10oz pours. Even $2 tasters add up to $.50 an ounce. The best buys were at Trader Joe’s where I could pick up a 12oz single for $2.50 to $3.50.
Alcohol wise the average ABV is 5.0 to 8.0 with most weeks ending in the 6.75 area.
I will check back in in a few weeks to see how the trends hold up and to explore what styles of beers I have drinking.
