This reminds me of a phenomenon at Valhalla (the grad student bar at Rice), which not allowed to make a profit due to a special liquor license (IIRC). So at the end of the quarter they would sometimes be showing a profit and would have to lower prices. 1/3https://twitter.com/tpolecat/status/1252301687299215367 …

So a few times while I was there beer went down to a nickel (that's a quarter for a pitcher) and at least once they just had to give it away for free. 2/3

Very rarely that wasn't enough and they would have to pay people to drink beer, so they would give you a beer and a dime. It had happened twice by the early 90's and I believe it's happened since then. Anyway, Valhalla! 3/3
