How much do you typically spend on a night out pubbing\clubbing?

It's brilliant, all of you lot wasting money. I don't drink, I can see the social side, but I'd much rather be doing something else with the money to be honest.
 
Typically around £15-50.

I've only gone clubbing about 6-8 times in the past 3 years however, compared to early-mid 20s when I'd sometimes do that in a month.

Maybe I'm getting old now, but the two best nights out I had last year were:
1) A wedding.
2) An office Xmas party.

Both had free bars, but worked out pretty expensive (over a ton) due to staying in hotels.

Varies depending on where I am.

Late in London it can easily start being more than £10 a drink, and so the costs can quickly spiral in to the hundreds if you're buying rounds for friends or colleagues.

If I'm out locally it can be dirt cheap. Buy 1 get 2 free on drinks and lifts to/from places keeps the cost down. I've come back from a good night, drunk, after having spent less than £20 total.

If by wasting you mean providing valuable jobs and income for many people then yes i suppose it is...

I'm sure many of the people who work in the city will echo my claim. Many of the nicer venues will charge this for relatively normal drinks, and I've been charged £9 for a double JD and coke in a total dump before now.

The trouble with the city is it's so pretentious. People want to be seen to have money and so they will buy expensive drinks regardless of whether it's justifiable. This then causes the bars to raise their prices, and people just start paying even more!

Might be reassuringly expensive then but I bet it still tastes rubbish.

I've had one pint of Stella in my life, and that was only because I was letting someone have the honour of pouring it!
 
I've only been 'out' in London once (leicester sq) around 3 years ago, and I found prices were fairly varied. Went in a pub and it was £2.80 a pint or thereabouts, less than I was expecting and nothing too OTT. Later in Hippodrome I bought a round of 3 drinks and £20 didn't cover it. Ate in Tiger Tiger which I don't recall being overly extravagant.

There's something to cater for every price bracket in London. You can eat and drink cheaply, or you can eat and drinkly really damn expensively.

If I go out with friends after work we often go places that, in reality, none of us can afford. It's stupid and we all get drunk while spending a few days wages on something we'll **** out when we get home but, what the hell, we can, and it's fun :D
