You know the feeling: It's Saturday evening and it's two beers past crunk o'clock and you need to get turnt up. But hey, the economy is still in the shitter (are we only ones who notice inflation?) and pregaming saves us money because 40s are hella cheap and you don't need to tip the guy at the bodega.

It's hella stressful living beyond your means when any day the lights might go out, the bank might repossess your house, and those friendly loan sharks will want their money back—with interest.
