    About €30. Not a big drinker really.

    35 euro - 7 pints
    10 euro - niteclub
    5 euro - nitelink
    10 euro - food

    = 60 euro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    I think €30 was the most i have spent, its great being a non-alcoholic drinker :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Probably in and around 100, including food.. though I only go out about once every 2 months these days. I don't know how I could ever afford 2+ nights per weekend on the piss.. or how it didn't kill me!

    Whatever's in my pocket when I leave. Whether it's €20, or €200, it'll be €0 the next morning

    Ah jaysus the ould chloroform has gone up in price an awful lot these days I'd say when my current batch runs out I won't be going out much


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    local night 50-70ish.

    city centre big night. 150ish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Skuxx


    If I'm out by myself with friends than about €80 I suppose, if I'm out with the gf then about €180 between us!! It's not cheap anyway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    depends really, drinks at home then into a club/late bar= 30-40 quid
    out all night type of thing= 70 I guess, and that'd be a lot

    Normally go to the Irish centre with mates.

    £2.70 a pint, so £30 does me fine, then either the bus home (with a bus pass) or share a taxi back (from £5-10)

    Honestly can't believe that some people spend over €100 on a night out. I get pissed off if I spend more than €50 to be honest :/

    Thats half the fun. Its better than the Dubliner though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    I have gone out with €200 & spent it all & got drunk.

    I have also gone out & spent €80 & got drunk.

    Spending €200 = being a tit & buying drinks for people I probably wouldn't spit on of a normal night & a taxi home that costs about a tenner.

    Spending €80 = me getting drunk & still getting home for a tenner.

    But I'd hate to go out on a night & miss my round. I know someone who regularly goes out & manages to skip most rounds because he is a tight fcuker. Probably saves himself a fortune.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,794 ✭✭✭chillywilly


    Anything from €60-€120. Ridiculous really, but I've only myself to blame.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,528 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    100 a night back a few years ago. These days alcohol is wayyyy down the list of priorities.

    At Home €20

    Newcastle £1500-£1800


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,224 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    Id sat anywhere from 50 euro to 200 euro, fifty minimum if its just a few pints down the local, at least 15o if its a proper night out on the piss.

    I likes my drink.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    The exact same amount every night, no matter what I do or where I go.

    Obviously.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    At Home €20

    Newcastle £1500-£1800

    Mike Ashley knows how to charge

    That kip burnt down a few years ago, was a great improvement. Why they ever rebuilt it I don't know! Do you know the Irish centre ('Connaught Bar' I think they call it) at all? It's on the same road as those two, did it up about 18 months back. Great place now.

    Hey, i can't help it if I can't make it to the bar every time. besides monies left over I give to the poor box on my bedside table (or my future drinking fund box, as I call it)

    There were rumours that the Dubliner was an insurance job. Maybe completely wide of the mark. Your man Paddy Finn used to have a mad alsatian running around in it. I've never been in the Connaught Bar. We used to go drinking up the other end. The anchor and hennesseys and the bull ring tavern.

    Normally come home with more money then I started out with.

    $200-$250 between two of us :eek: Robbery over here!! Dont go out too often...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    Some people spend 200 Euro on a night out? Are ye serious?? Good God... :eek:

    I spend about 15 Euro on a night out. Quit smoking and don't go to clubs where you have to pay in. Not more than that anyway. Beers are only E1.20 in Spain although they're tiny...they're bleedin' lethal though. Mixture of those and being in my 30s does the job.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,439 ✭✭✭Kevin Duffy


    €50 midweek, €100+ at weekends, have slipped above €200 in the past and no idea how. Dublin's great, but it doesn't half hoover the money outta yer pockets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 409 ✭✭lecker Hendl


    too much over the last couple of years.

    Cork (which is rare these days) - about €60. nice and cheap, but ****e

    Dublin - €100+
    Seems to be around €120 most nights out. When you go out Friday, and then Saturday, and include some midweek drinking then it's a costly pastime.

    My breakdown is:
    taxi in and out: about €20-25
    pints: €35ish
    whiskey & cokes: €40+
    food: €10
    other ****e: €?

    50 to 80 depending on the night

    Are you still in Brum ? Cos 13 pints here are a lot easier on the pocket than Dublin. Its travesty really that I'm moving away from this place, probably back to Dublin. Really wish they could sort Digbeth out though , its got so much potential


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    spent only € 20 last night on 8 pints...obviously figures will vary alot from where you would go


    €20-30 on drink (3 pints €10 or cans beforehand..it cold easily go up to 50-60 on shots and spirits though)
    €5 food (chips, burger, kebab etc...)
    €5Taxi or walk home.... 5 km.....
    €10 nightclub entry....

    usually €50 would do me, but it could go up to €100, but I could get away with €20 or €30

    Would you normally buy drinks for people you would spit on?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,370 ✭✭✭pconn062


    How do people go out for a few quiet pints in the local and spend 50 euro?? That's like 12 pints!! I wouldn't like to see them if they were out on the piss proper!
