    Daddy's credit card. Or in my case, does it then realizes the stupidity.

    Spent or lost?

    Spent

    The cost of Jager bombs, double vodka's and Jameson's add up pretty quickly. The figure is actually including the 10 euro entry fee aswell.

    What are the point of these again? Why not do it with bovril, they taste the same (there's an idea for entrepeneurs).

    If punters continue to pay these inflated prices then nothing will change. If the public decide enough is enough and refuse to be ripped off then prices will come down. If a pub goes under as a result then so be it, I don't want to see businesses go under but I won't subsidise a rip-off merchant.

    did you pay the €17 op? if a barman quoted me that for 2 spirits and a split i would turn on my heels and leave

    Still obviously a complete rip-off but a split would be a lot cheaper than a red bull nearly everywhere.

    I've bought two hipflasks inthe last few months and usually bring at least one out with me filled with Jack Daniels or Vodka, depends on how I feel that night, each hipflask holds nearly 200ml or roughly the same as a nagin.

    Best option really :D

    I think everyone should just go back to the way us college students do it. Stock up in the offie on naggins and cans (not me personally cos I'm not much of a drinker) try get the €4 naggins or whatever in bulk. Then mix em in a coke bottle and keep drinking till you just get to the bouncer, act sober then you'll get into the club. You'll be fcuked off your face by the time you get in so neeed to buy drink at crazy prices inside.

    All in all apparently thats a good night out. Me, I prefer drinking wine (€6 in Dunnes) or cider (3 litres for €10 in Dunnes) followed by shots (cheap shots in knacker pubs!). only way to go these days.

    Sorry,but anyway who is paying this amount for drinks is a loony.

    Two vodkas and a Red Bull should never be over 12.50.

    We all know the type of places that sell at these prices, just avoid them unless theres something good on (which usually invloves deals/promotions)

    Look at whats on before you go out,theres always a few pubs and clubs doing promotions-certain pubs give you free entry to a club they're connected to, certain drink deals for the night/time going in is cheaper etc..

    If you plan on drinking jager/red bull/apple sours etc etc you're gonna have to pay more than pints/vodka splash.

    I'm not cheap but I won't go where they're ripping you off. The better craic is where people are out on the cheap anyway.
