I'm in the process of doing the above and would like to hear about your experience. Were there any surprises? What was as you expected?

I was with you until you said grocery store beer. No selection at grocery stores in my area unless you want a lager.

    I'm mostly referring to liquor because it's the most economical way to get drunk.

    My local Walmart has a decent selection of beers, but I've been to HEBs that have entire sections devoted to craft beers. It may depend on the grocery store in question.

    You can still get a better selection at a cheaper price at liquor stores than bars.

    Why not bathtub moonshine? That is even more economical.

    Hey man, if you have more money than sense that's your problem. You don't have to go around replying to everything I post trying to explain why you like getting ripped off.

    The profit margins for the alcohol you buy at bars is significantly higher than alcohol you buy in stores. You're getting ripped off, and in typical useful idiot fashion, you need to figure out some way to avoid acknowledging it.
