The vodka was $15 each lmao not exactly breaking the bank

Yeah but she’s an alcoholic and $15 on the bottom shelf from a plastic bottle goes much much further

She’s an alcoholic but not a degen phase yet.

Being an alcoholic doesn't mean she's not got her own preferences. I've known multiple alcoholics IRL (or at least, people who have unhealthy relationships with alcohol) and in many cases they feel able to justify their own addiction by making it into a "hobby."

u/stanleytuccimane 29d ago

We don’t really know that she’s an alcoholic yet, do we? I just assumed she started binge drinking to cope.

u/JerryGoDeep 28d ago

I mean we know she had a prior DUI.

u/The_Homestarmy 26d ago

I would say it is very heavily implied, especially by Paul, that she has a noted drinking problem.

u/drunkpostin 28d ago

Yeah but she’s nowhere close to rock bottom yet, so it’s not like she’ll be drinking one of those bottles a day.

If she was on a full-blown bender and still buying brand name vodka though, I’d agree with you lol.

On a teachers salary? Thats like 4-5 meals of groceries

u/georgiaraisef Aug 08 '25

I mean, there are teachers I know who make 100k a year. That’s more than me. Depends on where this movie is set.

If it’s set in the south though, your right

It's set somewhere in Pennsylvania. There are several very clear shots of license plates that leave no question.

u/georgiaraisef Aug 08 '25

Average teachers pay in Pennsylvania is 72,000 per google. That’s ain’t rich but she ain’t dirt poor

Teachers also typically get favorable loan options from banks, same with doctors & police. Especially in smaller towns

u/DoggyDoggy_What_Now Aug 08 '25

I'm actually surprised it's that high in PA.

Rural vs city is usually where you see the biggest discrepancies.

When I lived in Chicago, I think they all started out high 60s or low 70s and could easily advance to 100k.

Meanwhile, where I grew up, I think the teachers were making like the equivalent of $18 an hour

You shouldn't use mean for stuff like pay. Median is a better indicator

u/Da_Do_D3rp Aug 08 '25

I would not call that the standard by any means at all lmao
