OK I did some math for buy bottles vs mug.
Edit. Updated to show most likely to get 20oz of beer in mugs.
Assuming you download the order form for the 16oz bottle of Bud Coors Light @ 6 bottle for $30 and I read somewhere the draft is $5.75 for light domestic.
4 day trip
Mug = $5.75 (16oz price for 20oz) + 15% tip = $6.61 or $.3306 per oz
Bottle = $5.00 (16oz) + 15% tip = $5.75 or $.3594 per oz
4 mugs a day * 88oz * 4 day trip = 352oz + [add 3 mugs over trip to bring totals closer] = 380oz
6 bottles a day * 96oz * 4 day trip = 384oz
380 * .3306 = $125.64 + $14.95 mug = $140.59 or $.3700 per oz
384 * .3594 = $138.00 = $138.00 or $.3594 per oz
$2.59 less to order bottles. So slightly cheaper to order the bottles for 4 days.
Yes bringing is the cheapest option but if you plan to drink more or prefer less carry on. Plus we can debate full pours, having a cap on a bottle, going flat, carrying the mug, etc...
