Lengthening the lives of 30-packs everywhere!
Why? Because I care.

It makes sense to buy items in bulk. You save money in the long run.

This is the strategy I take with 30-packs of beer. As I'm not a real drinker (with the exceptions of weekends, holidays, and after midterms), these 30-packs can last me around three weeks. It's a great way to keep money in the bank.

Unless, of course, certain roommates see a 30-pack sitting in the refrigerator and think "Hey, they won't mind."

I think the straw that broke my back on this was when I bought a 30-pack and wound up drinking five of them.

So, you want roommates to quit Bogarting your brewski? Here's the strategy I've come up with.

1) Purchase your 30-pack.
2) Hide it somewhere in your room. Under a pile of dirty laundry might be a good idea, because they won't want to look under there, unless they're really drunk.
3)Only place beer in the refrigerator in segments of 5-10 beers. The human psyche (or at least in those I live with) will not have them take beers that are in one container, and in smaller qualities.
4) Leave the Bogarting buddies in the dark.

Now, enjoy a cold one at your own pace.
