BillyClark comments on Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ tossed a ball to the fans with $300 wrapped around it to buy beers for a bunch of fans

The cheapest, smallest beer you can get is $12, then.

Which would be sort of reasonable if it was a pitcher/jug. But we know it isn't.

Even at a regular restaurant or bar, a beer is gonna be like $6 or $8.

Maybe 30 years ago you could get a pitcher for $12 if it was happy hour or something.

In Switzerland (admittedly one of the most expensive places on earth), 15$ ish for a jug is quite normal.

Yeah I don't think those prices are reasonable either.

But... I don't drink anymore, so what do I know.

Usually the cheapest is a big can of bud light or similar, I think they are 24oz

Draft and craft beers are usually $2-$6 more than the bud light for 16-20oz, so $12 would actually get you the biggest at most stadiums
