why do you mix vodka with coke and ice, of course its weak then
and if you drink slow enough that ice melts than how do you spend so much money
anything better than alcohol costs more money...
Well, surely it'd be better, if y'gonna get wasted, to get wasted on decent booze, than the swill they serve at clubs. :x
Yes £0 is scary.
How do you do that?!

no if your gonna get wasted you buy 1L of smirnoff, split it with another person, then go in and drink beer.. slowly
but thats still to do with alcohol you said something else

Aside from the theory that quality alcohol is less likely to lead to a terrible hangover is there any particular benefit to choosing good quality alcohol over rubbish if your aim is simply to get wasted?
Hah...Goto Mayfair...it;s like £5 a bottle Magners in some places
330ml Singha (thai beer) is £6 in Funky Buddha
Haha glad this isn't just me that this happens to
I always seem to have around £10 left, most nights out I take £40 and return with £10 ish, last week I went out with £60 and some how ended up with £10 again. No idea where the money went either as I was fairly sober and I honestly thought I'd spent under £30.

That's bad
Most I paid was £3.30 for a 330ml bottle. Made the mistake of not checking the prices first. Walked round the corner after that and found it was £3 for 3 pints somewhere else.I went through a stupid stage of doing this last summer. It wasn't until I had an operation which left me doing nothing but sitting around the house for a few days where I added up how much I was spending. Soon put a stop to it and now end up either pre-drinking or going out at 10ish instead. Never spend over £50 on a night out now 
I've heard a few people say they can go out with £20... how the hell?
Ignoring special promotions, student prices etc it's not that unbelievable:
-Walk to the venue(s)
-Only pay for your own drinks, or 'balanced' rounds
-Don't pay for entry into anywhere
-Don't buy any food
-Choose places that serve fairly cheap drinks.
-If you must go in an expensive venue (clubs), don't buy any drinks
For those who can follow these steps, the only expenditure they will have is on relatively cheap booze, say £2-£2.50 a drink = 8-10 drinks from £20.
Obviously, some people can't do this stuff, but that's how some people can spend only £20.

Do you mean you can't help yourself or do you actually mean you can?

Unless you go into top bars from the beginning of the night and stay there, its impossible to spend £100 on yourself on a night out drinking sensibly.
I spend £50, thats with taxi, beer, food and entry to a club.
