100 in a month on alcohol seems about right if youre an alcoholic (or if you're buying your drinks at a bar)
$100 a month on alcohol is like, 5-6 low tier cases of beer. That's just 5-6 beers a day. That's alcoholism to be sure, but the degeneracy goes way, way further.
If you work at a liquor store, you'll see the grandma who comes in 3x a week to buy a cheap plastic handle of vodka. Or the guy who buys a 12 pack and two shooters, every single day. Or the new mom who goes from buying 2 bottles of wine a week to 10.
I probably spend around 100 a month and I would be clinically considered an alcoholic.

You can hit $100/month fast without having that high an intake or buying like you're royalty. Good sipping liquor's hard to come by under $50/750ml, so, 50ml/day and you're probably over $100/month. The wine market's real hit-or-miss (and mostly miss) under $15/bottle (in the US) and a lot of what one might wish to experience, flavor-wise, barely exists at all under $20/bottle. Good beer has been moving toward four-packs priced well in the teens of dollars, single 12-ouncers at $3-7, and $15+ bombers, over the last few years.
Of course if you just want to get hammered and don't care what it tastes like, $100 will get you really far, that's true.
