Fixed that for me.

Seriously, by cutting back on the craft beer for a few months I was able to afford a good used road bike this month.

At $5-$10 a pint while lounging around with friends after a ride that stuff added up last year. So I started just buying whatever was on special at the pub -- usually Lone Star, which ain't fancy but tastes okay and is refreshing after a hot ride -- and started buying 12 packs of New Belgium Citradelic or Voodoo Ranger at the grocery store, usually only $13 or $14 for a 12 pack. Actually saved enough money in six months to buy a $200 road bike.
