This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

A little preachy, aren't we?
- Buying drinks for other people: yes, but the theory - at least in a British pub - is that your friends will buy you one back
- Vomit cleaning bills: Clean up your own vomit
- Increased toilet water bills: Got a garden? Your plants will benefit from a spray of nitrogenated water
- Waste management: WTF? Does drinking make you shit everywhere or something?
- Fixing the car: You're told not to drink and drive for a reason
- Hangovers: Learn your limits, don't drink so much the next time and stop moaning about it
- Higher electric bill: If you drank real beer, you wouldn't need to chill it.

I'm sorry to be very sarcastic, but referring to having a drink as "the lifestyle" just makes you sound really sanctimonious.
