Cheap Drinks in the City

With the Christmas holidays coming up, (one of the most expensive times of the year) and not to mention this recession that we have been enduring, sometimes it is good to just let loose and go out on the town for a few drinks. The only thing is that in Toronto, the night can get very pricey very fast. Once you have taken a cab and gone into a bar that charges cover, you have already spent $35-$40! So here is some information on ways you can go out on the town without spending tons of money. Because after a night out of drinking and spending all that money, you have absolutely nothing to show for it other than an empty wallet and possibly a headache.
