Norm Peterson is one of the most iconic TV characters of the past 50 years. And he drank a lot of beer. A lot.
In this video, I estimate the amount Norm spent/spends annually on beer - check it out!
Show Notes:
One of the first things to figure out when determining how much Norm Peterson spent on beer is whether to use 1980’s prices or today’s prices. I use today’s prices since it will be easier to relate. As I explain, there is a simple trick if you want to use 1980s prices, just divide by three.
Two other factors are needed to estimate Norm’s spending. How much an average beer would cost in Boston and how much beer Norm actually drank. Watch the video for my estimates. For a hint, however: some rent and mortgage payments in the US are less than Norm’s beer budget.
