About


 

ThriftyDrunk.com is a website dedicated to the Happy Hour special.

Drinking at bars costs too much.

If you're a broke college student who just wants to go get shitty, but can't afford it, or if you're a college grad who still wants to cry when you clear out your tab (all of us), this website is for you!

There's a better way, my friends, and that way is ThriftyDrunk.com.

Finding a good Happy Hour has always been the better choice, for a variety of reasons:

  • Drinks are generally cheaper,
  • Drinking during the daylight hours is fantasic, and
  • The people out at a Happy Hour are there to party.

How many times have you been in a packed bar on a Friday night, that's full of people who don't even want to be there, and only are because its Friday night and they would feel like losers if they stayed home?

Those people suck, and it should be your goal to avoid them. What's the solution? The Happy Hour special: which allows you to drink for less, and avoid people who are just going to ruin your night.

The purpose of ThriftyDrunk.com is to unite the Thrifty Drunks of the world, so we can rely on one another.

Do you know a good happy hour special? Then Add It! You're helping a fellow thrifty drunk in need.

Advantages of ThriftyDrunk.com


 

  • ThriftyDrunk.com is "Wiki-Based", by this we mean that anyone viewing our website has the ability to add to and edit the information contained in our database
  •  
  • ThriftyDrunk.com displays information about happy hour specials spatially, so that instead of looking at a list of all the bars in Chicago and having no idea which ones are actually close enough to go to, you can just put in your address and see that one might be right around the corner
  •  
  • ThriftyDrunk.com can display information for happy hours almost any where on earth, so unlike most other websites which are highly localized, you can use it to find cheap drinks whether you're at home, or vacationing in Beijing
