starting in one of his mater at about 5pm , 6 cans of beer, chippy on the way out to the Dart. off into Town for a few pints 5 or 6.. over for grub back to the pub 5 - 6 more various drinks.

bit of craic a few cig's and more small drinks and a couple of pints of larger. Off to the Night Club cost to enter €15 more drinks for the night and more craic. fall out the door of the Night Club over to Abra Cababra spend about a €10, que up for an hour and get a Taxi home €30 at about 4 am. Is He mad or wat?

Wifey and i went to town for the first time in ages on Sat night as a few of my mates were over from Wales.

Free lift into town, went to the bar in Temple Bar pub, 1 pint of Guinness and a double whiskey and lemonade, 17.50!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Taxi back to Swords was 25 notes, total cost of evening hit around 200euro, won't be coming back into town again any time soon

liah

Dunno. There's usually a party at my gaff on the weekends, all weekend (fri-sunday evening), so I don't really do nights out anymore.

No point wasting money to listen to people shout at each other over crap music when I can have a load of fun with a load of people in the comfort of my own home.

You got that arseways.
The mater is where all partied out Dubs end up.
Either that night..... or else 9 months later.

Danbo!

Night out starting at 5pm and eating 3 meals and drinking 25-30 odd drinks? Sounds like the same stories I heard every monday in school :rolleyes:

Night out for me would rarely break 50 quid if I go to town. I like getting pissed the odd time, but ill do that in my house rather than pay a fortune to go listen to ****e music followed by verbal diarrhoea (god bless spell check) from the taxi driver on the way home.

Thats where it all went wrong...

A good night out for me can cost as little as 10euro, or as much as 50-60euro...it all depends on who I'm with and where:) For example I went to a gig on Fri night last, cost was around 25euro including ticket cost and I had a great night:D

Being an alcoholic can be expensive.

Would be about €100-120 for a night in my local "town". A night in the local pub, about €50.

A good night would be 40euro.. A normal enough night would be 25.. A cheap class night would be whatever price buckie and 6 cans was selling for that day.

df1985

in a weird way the amount i spend seems to relate how good/bad the nightclub is. **** music in a **** nightclub-ill drink myself stupid. good music and i dont drink as much as im up dancing, not standing beside the bar doing rounds of ripoff shots because the place is so ****!

20 - 30 euros, if I'm on my own.

That depends entirely if my good nights involve drink or drugs. If drugs, about 20 euro, if drink, about 40 euro, if sober, about 10 euro.

Considering I do exactly the same thing regardless, I do whichever I haven't tried in a while.

g5fd6ow0hseima

few bottles beforehand in the house - €10
bus into city centre - 1.60
4 or 5 pints in the pub - 20 odd

toss up between late bar and niteclub... either way, no more than 3 or 4 more pints.

taxi home - 6 or 7e if split.

between 50 and 60 would be the norm. I occasionally hit 70 if I buy a kebab....

Beanmachine

Going into town least i could get away with would be €70 most would be anywhere up to €200

I'm in Madrid atm and it can be very cheap (for rich North Europeans).

I live next to the city centre so I can walk in and out but even the metro only costs a euro. Pre-drinking consists of a few litre bottles at €1.50 each, you can get them as cheap as €0.78 in some supermarkets. If you go to certain bars, you can get €1 beers which taste good. Most places, you can get glasses for about €2, tops. Then, when you head to a bar which plays music, you might pay €8 in and you'll get a free drink. If you go to a proper nightclub, you might pay as much as €20 in but get two free drinks. Then walk home or get a nightbus (€1.50) or wait til 6am and get the first metro for a euro.

Typically, I'll have two or three litre bottles here (less than €5), a few one euro beers (prob another €5) and then head to a disco and get my two whiskey and cokes with the the free drinks for about €20, at most. That's about €30 in total and it's enough drink for me. Then, I walk home. I love this city.

cian1500ww

Varies a lot for me, I try to keep it around €90. Hate seeing the empty wallet after a night out though :rolleyes:

Misty Chaos

Most I ever spent in a night out was probably somewhere between 120 - 150 Euro, on an average night I spend about 50, less if I'm not drinking. Those include drinks, access to a night club ( if any ) and food afterwards and possibly a taxi as well.

Rhyme

Spent a few days in Berlin there and the booze flows at the merest touch of a euro. Twenty quid and you're in a gutter talking to your choice of dead celebrity.

ScumLord

I'll spend whatever I have in my pocket, if it's €50 I'll get by on that, if it's €500 I'll probably manage to spend all that too.

Holsten

Wow OP, your mate eats a lot on a night out!

I could get away with €20, all depends on where I end up going.

I could have a fantastic time at a house party for €20.

Gillington

A few years ago,could easily spend €100+.Now with unemployment and a years backpacking behind me,thats down to between 20 and 50 and could still have a good night

AlmightyCushion

Sometimes I've woken up with more money than I went out with (brother is a manager of a bookies and they were out for the grand national all paid for by work) and some nights I've spent €300. Some nights I've only had 10 bottles of stella for a euro each. They were all class nights. A good night out is what you and your friends your drinking with make of it not how much you spend or where you go or whatever.

I spend about €100-€120 when I go out.

Well worth it

beanyb

I'd generally spend €30-€50, including taxis, drinks and entry to wherever I'm going. I rarely go out without pre-drinking, and dont have too many drinks wherever I go. It's much better that way. The only times I'd spend more than that is if I go to the pub straight from work or college. I try to do that as little as possible!

Agricola

I cant remember what a good night out is, let alone what it would cost. My current riveting social life currently costs me around 70 quid. Alot of that is taxi money.:mad::(

Doubs

From Killarney, night could cost anything between 60-120 quid depending on how giddy things get.

Moved to London last year & rarely spend more than £60/70 on a night out in what is apparently one of the world's most expensive cities - the price of drink at home is ridiculous.

In fact, the price of the majority of things back home is ridiculous! Happy I decided to leave.

Yep, if I didn't have to get a taxi, a normal night out would be around 60 lids. I try to get a foreign driver, last time I got damo from dublin, I got an earache and a 25 euro taxi fare, with Jonny foreigner it was a quiet drive for 14 euro.

vicecreamsundae

ah white lightening!! i couldn't get over how cheap that was when i was in bristol.. drink so much. would end up having a wee glass with my cornflakes in the mornings too just cos it was cold and there was soo much of it haha.

my nights out are pretty cheap.
we always predrink [tenner or less] and don't leave the house til around midnight. entry to club might be 5-7, [i dont really go to flashy places], usually drank enough by the time i get there, but might have a couple shots or drink..if there are drink deals i will go for them. spend about a tenner.
always get a food after. another 5-6.
and generally walk home.
can do it for 20-30. well, can do it for less if i'm broke, and still have a great time. might have spent about 50 once or twice if i was buying shots for people, but NEVER spent over 100 quid or anything near it.. i'd be sickened -would rather buy a dress!

cafecolour

I used to spent a lot, esp cause I was mad for buying folks drink, but now I'm on the dole and gotta be cheap. I do the obvious (drink at home b4, drive bavaria, no taxi, no chipper). Plus there's 2 keys things to keep a night cheap:

1 - Keep a low tolerance. A bottle of jame will now last me a week instead of a night. Gotta do significant blocs of non-drinking days in between the drinking to keep yourself a cheap date.

2. Don't do rounds. I hate to say it, but rounds always make you spend more (and drink more) than you would alone. Will absolutely burn money away.

Are you Fr. Jack Hackett by any chance? BTW you can get a litre bottle of Toilet Duck for only €2.49 in Spar.

Depends on how much the brazzer charges for the BJ at the end of the night

Minstrel27

Some nights I will spend €30. Others it could be up to €100.

definitely 100 at least!

Creamy Goodness

I judge a good night out by the company of who I'm with. I can't associate a figure with that.

Ususally it's a minimum €5 for the nitelink though.

Btwndeyes

Spent 15 Euro last night. snook myself and a litre of vodka into the club via bathroom window ^^.
the 15 was for a chinese and then McD's for breakfast as we didnt actually make it home
