I don't drink....I take drugs.
Lawful is a matter of law. Sinful is a matter of belief. You believe adultery is a sin, but it's legal. My point is that your and my beliefs are irrelevant when it comes to the law. It's the Sinner's problem alone as long as everyone involved is consensual. Not a place for the law.
Free Will prevails.

That's what the "less than $100" option was for since "less than" includes "Zero."
Why do you hate my poll?
FWIW, even though my answer is "$100-$200", it's not by increased consumption. It's by increased cost of taste. My old drink included mixed vodka, but I've acquired a taste for Jägermeister shots. Same amount, double the cost.
Additionally, somewhat neutralizing costs, I had a lot of leftover high quality liquor from my dad's wake earlier this year. One brother had quit drinking, which made it easy. Another recommended either "Leadslingers" or "Woodford' Reserve" so I, being the Executor-by-mutual-consent, bought both. My sister recommended "Tito's" which was such an excellent choice that I bought two. All had to fly to Texas for the funeral and wake, so when they left, all the mostly empty bottles were left to me.
Let's be honest, there was no fucking way I was going to leave quarter-filled bottles of our nation's finest liquor for the maids. No offense to maids.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

No, we are to abide the law as we are called to but that doesn't mean accept it. You don't have to follow anything. If you think suicide is fine that's on you and you alone. If you recall me arguing about forced conscription I told you I'd be taking no part based on the same reasoning

Legally speaking, you have to report bartering.
I used to receive Bitcoins, which legally speaking is bartering. It would have been illegal for me to not pay taxes on them.The IRS reminds all taxpayers that the fair market value of property or services received through a barter is taxable income. Both parties must report as income the value of the goods and services received in the exchange.
