This is a very interesting piece. And something I understand perfectly. As I said in another comment, I don't pay any rent or bills where I live. I live on a farm. I have loads of space, and I like beer, but I was spending a lot on beer. So a few years ago, I started brewing my own. I have free water, that is from a well and pure. I get the ingredients from local suppliers, BINGO! I now have very cheap and very good beer,

NOW! Someone said, but if you didn't drink beer, you wouldn't have the cost in the first place.

True. I could also live off rice and lentils and forage for my food here. Which I have done in the past.

BUT, I like beer. And chicken.

Same as your drink, isn't it? You could stop it but you like it?

True?
