Whatever the long, drawn out explanations are, the fact of the matter is that I'm going to drink less, "captive audience" or not. $6 for Yuengling is just ridiculous. I can do without.

Interesting post -- thanks, dlcjr1775
 
 I didn't really get the above point, though.

i did notice that... it would also appear that didn't contact the club directly on the issue just rewriting what was mentioned here... then again it's just a blog and not real journalism   ;)  
 
 i'll be amused at what the rest of dc blogsphere comes up with regarding the issue

capitalism, cont'd:
 
 the best thing you can do is vote with your pocketbooks
 
 when a business charges more, and people stop buying, then the laws of supply & demand will take effect
 
 if a ticket is too much money, don't go
 
 if a drink is too much, don't buy it
 
 we will notice, believe me
 
 on the other hand, the better we do, the more ability we have to keep prices down (volume) - hence the drink prices have not been raised for several years...we knew the abrupt hike would piss everyone off, but we figured that was better than constantly raising them in relation to our increased costs
 
 so if you want to look at your drink glasses as half full, consider how much you've been drinking for the past years for less than it should have been
