Going out costs

I'm a bartender so my drinking doesn't start till 3:30. It's all free and we take what we like but obviously don't take the complete **** (most of the time anyway). Usually I have a few pints, few joints, half a pack of Marlboro Lights and we finish up with some Jager bombs. Out the door at the earliest 6 and at the latest 9. If I'm starving I grab a food from a deli. It's nice to be able to have a pub to yourself and your colleagues where you control the music and the rules. Being allow smoke is a nice treat too. Have to say love lock ins but shhh their illegal.

Taxi and smokes set me back about €20.

Student night in newcastle - £30 with £5 taxi and £5 mcdonalds. You can easily do a night out for a tenner with pre drinking, as you can get three treble vodkas for £5.50 in bars.

they stopped doing it :( encouraging binge drinking apparently.... so they just sell them for 2quid each now:o:p
 
Am I the only one to experience the 'drinking black hole' phenomenon? It's where you wake up in the morning and mentally tot up how much you spent but find you've spent at least £20 more than you can account for. Happens every damn time, even when it's not a messy night. I don't smoke or go on the bandits, so it just seems to vanish.
 
Spent £80 sat night. That did include £30 in the offy on the way to some random house party. I must stop attaching myself to random people on nights out. Rarely go home with the people I started the night with.
 
£20-30 above this I will just be annoyed with wasting the money on alcohol. Much prefer to stay in and have a nice spot of port and cheese! or do some pimm's for the summer.

I usual drink 10-15 pints at home before i set off, then go round a pubs for a few hours, the ones that are so noisy you can't hear what people are saying to you and it takes you a good 20 minutes to get served, then when you do get served they charge a good £3 a pint for crappy carling. Then we start on shots, usual get 3/4 at a time. I hate the taste of them but they get you wasted really quick. By this time I have usual drunk around 25 pints, still before 11, start to feel sick so go puck up in the toilets, standing in everyone elses ****, get harased by the guy in the toilets trying to force me to give him a few quid for spraying some aftershave on me i didn't want.

Then get back outside to find theres a brawl in the centre of the pub, someone's been glassed on the head. Go onto a club, I am so wasted, hammered, trolleyed by this time I can't really remember where I am. End up getting jiggy with the local chunky bird in the corner. She manages to get me to buy her and her mates all a drink.

Gets to closing time, stumble in a taxi and head home. When I get home I realise I have lost my phone, and all in all spent around £90.

Wake up in the morning surrounded by my own sick and feel like rubbish all day. Definatly worth the money.

I tend to just go out to a few nice local pubs, have a few pints and some bar snacks, play some pool or darts, then head home after 3/4 hours. Normally comes to around £15-£20
 
pub - £20-40 then i will leave in time to get the tube home.

bar/club - £50-60 plus taxi/night bus

Massive one inc taxi - 100-120

most ever was over £700 on my girlfriends 21st birthday. never again!
 
Spent £30 in Wakey on Monday but I had a mate driving and spent £36 in tarn last night. Neither involved food.
 
Usually £20. It's a ten minute walk into town, so no need for a taxi unless it's raining and pints are £1.50 and spirits £2. I never bother getting food because I don't really like take away food that much and I much prefer to get home, make some Smash, Yorkie Puds and Gravy and set about some CoD4.
 
I like to budget at £30 but it always ends up more.

Unfortunately being a home owner, I often find more important things to spend my money on now, rather than getting smashed out of my face.

probably 50-60 on booze, can run over 100 if I get a bottle of champagne like I sometimes do.
If I go out on my own and buy no drinks for other people about 40 quid on booze baring in mind most places are relatively cheap or average.

0-20 on entry depending on where i go.

less than a tenner on food, usually a kebab or some pub food.

I don't get taxis, it's an hour and a half walk back to mine but it's less hassle than the taxi queue. get the bus into town free because I have a yearly pass.
