I was one of the first college kids outside harvard to get my eyes on facebook almost 8 years ago. This reminds me a lot of that. When FB first came about everyone was chasing girls using AIM. People started posting links to their FB page on their AIM profile and all of the sudden we had a new way to chase girls. The other college ingredient besides chasing girls, is going to drink. A tool to sort by price/specials, plus the college level distribution of it, is spot on. I'd keep going with this idea.

At Virginia tech there are only a handful of bars, and generally by the second semester of your senior year you know where you are going on which days. Getting people back to this is,vouch less to the site to begin with, is going to be hard. Most students don't go to a bar for cheap drinks. They go there because their friend or the cute girl they like asked them to go or will be there. For that, only one person makes the decision where to go and when it comes to web volume that does not play out very well.

  People love us at VT, we've seen lots of growth there. Turns out usually 1 person knows all the specials, and everyone has to look to that person. No longer.

    You say that like having a friend who knows what's up is a bad thing. Tose guys are usually pretty fun to be around so it's not like it's a chore. I'm usually one to hit up my friends instead of replacing them with software. Maybe I'm not the target market, or I have a full paycheck now and understand if I'm going out to drink I'm gunna get screwed either way. With my time at VT, the only thing I ever needed to know was the $4 pitchers of yueingling at sharkeys. Done and done.

Whoa thanks man! It's def going to have to be a social app going forward, we 100% agree. Cheap drinks is just a starting point.
