Cocktail Cost Calculator Sizes Up Your Drink’s Real Price [Drinks]

In: Coding

31 Dec 2009

From the same inquisitive mind that brought us the sandwich price calculator comes another elegant, eye-opening tool to determine the real cost of cocktails Punch in your poison and see just how much the bar makes off your habit.

As with the Sandwich Price Calculator, Rob Cockerham figured out the bulk prices of the core ingredients—booze, syrups, “fizz,” liqueurs, and garnishes—that any well-stocked bar would have, then put together a web calculator to let us all figure out how much our drinks would cost if we made them ourselves.

It’s doubtful a true gin & tonic aficionado is going to switch to cheap scotch and soda just to save a few lousy cents on each pull, but Cockerham’s calculator will give you some good insight into just how much the bar makes off each pull. And Rob’s write-up of his means and methods is a great read for anyone interested in the science and economics of making a good drink for less.

well it really depends on alot… if the horse can graze alot u dnt need as much hay or grain. and it also depends on if the horse is in a stall or at pasture…. but in california hay is anywhere from lk 6-9 dollars 4 horse hay and grain is at least lk 10- 15 dollars a bag. i dnt no the exact cost per year or month( i dnt keep track myself) i usually dnt feed during summer they jus graze but i feed my old mare.then i feed both my horses hay and grain during winter. i dont stable my guys so i dont kno a whole lot bout that. idk if u want lk a list of wat u need and wat it costs but ill list some of the basic stuff not counting ur property..

horse: from lk a couple hundred to several thousand
halter: 15
lead rope: 10
i suggest u jus get a grooming kit with all ur brushes and a bag, lk 20-50 dollars
saddle:200- over a thousand(for western, u could get a cheaper one to start with then get a better one later)
headstall:at least 40
bit 10-15
reins 10-100

and theres your vet and farrier bills that can get really pricey…. I paid 100 dollars for a vet to walk out the door, look at a horse and say shes fine go home and walk away!!! and i hauled the horse there!

any way good luck

it's a hard question because each state is differ ant
you might be looking at around 500 to 700 maybe at that.but you will first need the city to come and look at it and then they will tell you what is need to pass the house and all your work.
