Even paying full price, a band does not drink enough to cover the costs of enabling it to play. Under those circumstances a venue would be better of closing it's doors.
As someone lots of business experience and fairly good grasp of economics, P&L etc... please just trust me on this one - OK?

To be fair, I never mentioned anything about playing a gig for money that the venue is paying out. I'm not saying that a band would cover the costs, just that buying drinks is supporting the venue.
