1. Two words: dive bars. Two more words: drink specials. Do your homework and find out where these exist. Some bars do drink specials every 15 minutes. Scary, but true.  In these economically challenged times, even upscale places are now touting their happy hours.

2. Stop buying rounds. Duh. Your friends will not spit on you or run your dirty laundry up any flagpoles. This does not apply to girlfriends or potential hook-ups of course. Buy them rounds. Stay focused. Keep your eye on the prize.

3. Leave the plastic at home. Studies show you spend 33 percent more when charging. This way, when you run out of cash, you either call it a night, or your friends buy you a round for once.

4. Remember your mother. (With all the drinking, sometimes a little thought of the one who brought you into this world helps to keep you on your best behavior. I mean, if that’s your bag.)

5. Befriend your favorite bar. Just once, do something out of your way for the owner or main bartender. Don’t be weird about it and don’t make it a habit. Think: casual, dude.

6. (Shameless plug here) Stock up at home. Go to www.drinkupny.com (wine & spirits) or www.drinkupforless.com (just wine) to get smokin’ deals and free shipping on orders of $100 or more. Throw the next party and put out a tip/donation jar that reads: “CD Fund. (Community Drunk Fund.) Tis the season to give to ye fellow drunks.”

7. Plan a dive bar pub crawl with your friends around public transportation stops. No driving and no cab fares. Make sure you research stops and times though so you are not stranded, broke and too sozzled to realize you just peed in your socks.
