3. This presents an interesting conundrum

An Upper East Side restaurant near our apartment in NYC offers $2.50 oysters during Happy Hour (4:00-7:00 pm). Their bar drinks are around $8.00-$12.00.

On the other hand, a seafood market in town sells fresh oysters for about $10.00-$12.00 per dozen. A bottle of vodka costs about $20.00-$25.00. If one liter contains about 34 ounces, that's about 17 drinks making the drinks "cost" about $1.50.

The puzzle is do we stay home and save money or do we go out for some camaraderie (and exposure to Covid!)?

Actually, it's an easy choice.
