Cheap bars/restaurants to get shithoused in Manhattan

if you want to get drunk cheap....buy a hip flask like this and fill it with your favorite booze.....then goto whatever super nice and expensive bar you want that has the scene you want and just order water with lemon wedge or a $3 sprite to mix with your vodka.  no bar drinks are cheaper than your own bourbon or flavored vodka from your private hip flask.

sprite + fruit flavored vodka is really good, and you get drunk VERY fast

then head over to the swanky hotel bars...expensive restaurant bars, steak house bars, clubs, etc...have a blast for cheap
