Lol at spending more than £40 on a night out.
Stop buying other people drinks!

Isn't it scary how much on a night out?

On a related note, how does everyone deal with rounds etc?
Do you buy your own drinks, do methodical rounds or something else?
Personally, if I'm with a small group of people (4 or less) i'll just do rounds because it normally works out, in a larger group I'll try to split the rounds with a few other people there..

I find £30 to £40 is about what I spend?
Do you drink until you need a stomach pump?

I always end up with no more than a few pounds in my pocket after a night out, no matter how much I take. If I take out £20, I spend about £18, last night I took out £50, and spent about £47.
I usually spend about £60 for a night out with a couple mates, up to £100 if it's a bit more special.
Did £70 on Friday night and I was only with 2 mates, started off as a quiet drink then we ended up going until the end. Only spent £10 on cab home and £5 on food as well.
Didn't realise at all I had spent anywhere near that much until I checked and saw that the beer fairies had visited.

Spending 100 quid is less likely,
Pricey Drinks might take it up to the 50-70 bracket, but a taxi/curry etc can be a possible, 20 ish quid on a curry at the end of the night is easily achievable, that's before a couple of kingfisher/cobra pints to wash down the vindaloo lol
Loosing it... possible,
On other things - ladies of the night
be it dancers or slightly more intimate encounters would set him back a fair bit more unless he's got more restraint than the pope 
Change... oh yes, seen that a few times
pay every round with a note to make it faster to get served (the theory) and the wallet becomes damn heavy but looks empty at end of night (reality)Me and my mates grab some drinks before we head out and meet at one house - drink up and then head on out Cheaper plus - and not to sound like a girl - we can talk for a bit 
I normally spend around £30 a night not including the drinks before so probably around £35 - £40/night

If I'm with fellow alpha males we will usually do rounds because we all have beer which is pretty much the same price but if im out with other people its easier to by seperate drinks as people end up buying things like WKD which just makes it so much more complicated

Usually go with a rough round system and figure that it will probably work itself out over time with people joining and leaving the rounds as we go along. I don't find it is too worthwhile getting caught up in the whole "but you haven't bought me a drink yet" business, unless someone is persistently refusing to play along with the rounds then I'm happy enough that we will all buy each other drinks.
This ^^
Or just go to Asda, get a £3.50 bottle of vodka, and mixer. Drink at home/round a friends house first, then go into town. It makes nights out FAR cheaper.
I usually only spend £20-30 on a night out and prefer to walk home than get a cab.

My biggest mistake is if I take my bank card with me. I'll say to my self, im only taking £40-50 but if I got my card i'll just keep poping to the bank later on when I'm hammered. Then wake up in the morning with a massive hang over wondering how much ive took out last night lol.
Thing I do now is leave my bank card at home. Only take a certain amount of monie out with me and to have a few beers at home with me mates befor town. Get to town about 9-10 instead of starting in town bout 6ish

took £50 out with me, took a further £30 out of the bank halfway through but came back with £70, so according to that i spent £10... but yet i bought a bought load of drinks, taxi to go home to get changed then taxi back into town entry into nightclub and a burger afterwards, only 2 things i can think of is either i've robbed someone :s or been given change from a 20 note instead of a 10, but that would have surely happened a couple of times...
This seems to make sense, although I hate people who always partake in rounds until it's their turn to buy one. I always end up being the one who buys the big round with bottles of wine etc..
And my mate's girlfriend never buys around, she seems to think because he's bought one she doesnt need to....rage.
LOL - I've had nights like this before, the profitable ones are always more fun
My worst was £120 in Oxygen in London. I took £50 with me and unfortunately they accepted debit cards so spent 2 lots of £35 on a round of double vodka red bulls

Waking up in the morning wasnt very nice, hangover wasnt bad, looking at the bank statement was though
