@jamess.7981 They serve peanuts and pretzels in bars because they are salty and make you want something to drink. It's also a hand to mouth action that helps keep smokers inside, where they're going to order more drinks, rather than outside smoking. Setting a bowl of free peanuts or pretzels in front of someone in a bar is almost guaranteed to get them to order at least one more drink than they had planned to have. Casinos go for the bigger goals. They'll often serve free drinks, as long as you're gambling. Your inhibitions get lower and lower, so you're happy to keep throwing away money. If you want to have one drink with friends, stay away from the peanuts. If you want to drink all night for cheap, sit yourself at a nickel slot machine with $10, go for minimum bet every time, and give yourself a minute or two between plays. And then call a cab or an Uber. There's never a good reason to drive drunk.
