    So by and large ye either go out for an hour or drink in the house until about midnight before having 2 drinks in the club?

    I used to be very good, spend €12.58 on 12 bottles of Reinbacher before going out, and don't pay into clubs, 1/2 drinks in the club, usually eat when i get home.

    But lately, i've gone back into that trend of spending €12.58 on 12 bottles of Reinbacher before going out, and somehow spending €80 in the club on double Stiffy Cola's with a bottle of Smirnoff Ice (bout €15 a pop)...

    So i'm not going out anymore :(

    About 14 euro.

    I spend 10 euro on taxi fares and drink tap water. I like to bring in a couple apples and bananas into the club with me to eat as water can be boring. Occasionally I'll bring in a bag of popcorn.

    On a proper night out whats the damage?

    10 pints e50
    packet of smokes e9.10
    nightclub door charge e10
    couple drinks for random bird e10
    chipper e8
    taxi e15

    total e102.10

    about 50 times a year excluding the few quieter nights out thats over e5,000.

    not many people can afford that before they have to sacrafice for the mortgage or just get fed up of hungover Sunday yet there is no really viable alternative for people in the mid 20s to socialise at night.
    Mortgage? :confused:

    6 beers for pre drinks $12
    8 pints (give or take) $76
    Bit of food after $12
    Taxi's in out split $10

    $110. About right. I probably spent 60/70 euro back in Ireland.

    I tend to pre-drink. Then take €50 out of the machine at the beginning of the night and not spend anything more then that. Tends to work alright and I am sober enough by the end of the night to not have the room spinning! :D

    That's one shitty night out.

    Because don't all Irish people know that you can't possibly have a good night out unless you've drunk so much the room is spinning and spent half a week's wages.

    There's just no need whatsoever to be spending over 100 euro on a night out, IMO. Maybe once in a blue moon for some big occasion, but every week? I'd just be thinking of all the other things I could do with that money. I rarely spend more than 30 quid and still have a great time.

    Most ppl here sound like under25 or single or both.

    I don't do pre drinks as its not my intention to get smashed every night out.

    Night out about eur20. Pints here are about eur1.

    I don't drink alcohol anymore and the Taxi dude is a family friend, so that's free...

    Less than ten quid.

    Before that, it'd be 20 or 30 quid along with a few pre-drinks.

    Much happier now though.

    Tend to have nights in more than out these days. Lay on a lot of grub and get some crates of beer in. Get everyone over. BBQ and cocktails in the garden too if the weather is good. Leave a box by the door anyone who wants to throw money in towards anything can do so.

    More often than not I break even. Even been known to come out with a small profit - but usually throw that back into the next house party.

    On the nights I do go out I tend to just order a bottle of wine and a glass. Over priced of course but still massively cheaper than 6 or 7 pints.

    What's so stingy about not wanting to drink anymore?

    It's nice being able to actually use Sunday for something productive for once.

    Usually far more than I intended. I try not to take my bank card with me any more and hide money for a taxi from myself in one of my socks because once I get going on the whiskey there's no stopping me 'til i either run out of cash or pass out. I tend to be more sensible if i can stick to pints (or if the girlfriend is there flashing me dirty looks every time I cowp over)

    Average big night out these days is about €70 if we are pre drinking. If I go for a few pints its €40/50ish.
    Don't go out much anymore. Can't afford it.

    I think they might be copping the fact that he doesn't pay anything to the taxi driver who is a family friend.

    That is kinda stingy, tbh.

    Oh for the days when a good night out cost you 20 - and dad was your taxi!
    Or 40 if you get a taxi and club entry.

    Nowadays even a sedate night out costs 60 or close to it

    He won't accept my money because my Dad does work for him.

    Do you honestly think he'd let me get away with not paying if he would actually accept the money?
