    Including pre drinks the most I've spent is probably 50, normally don't go over 15 - 20.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 662 ✭✭✭fran oconnor

    Almost 6 years ago now for my 21st. Spent 350 on a night out. Don't remember anything about that night either, just remember waking up the next day thinking what an idiot I was!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 461 ✭✭ballsacky


    200 quid or more.Dark days they were.


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


    800.

    No Hookers.

    Just Coke.

    You could have got a blow job for an extra €30


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,161 ✭✭✭frag420


    Was at an album launch recently, free bar all night.

    Still spent €120. Was home by midnight.

    Does not compute!!

    I didn't know you were out that night, but anyway, I was grand. I'd a couple of ribs removed there a while ago, a birthday present from the wife.

    I've done plenty of 500+ nights out, a good few 800+ and a few 1k nights. Drugs accounting for alot of the money.

    But not anymore, nor would I waste it like that anymore.

    Don't regret any of them though.

    These days a night out is 100, 250 if a bit of bob thrown in the mix, but that's rare enough now.

    Free drink was on you pal :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,572 ✭✭✭msg11


    Most about 150 2 day madness!!

    I hate people that go out with 20 euro and expect for you to give them a lone of 2 euro or think that because you have more money you can foot the bill for the taxi.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    About 260. Gutted the next day but coke is moreish.

    Well the night I got put in a headlock by a Guard for acting the maggot....I must have spent about 100 Euro. Not cool, neither of the things.

    Hold on...how the hell did you manage to spend that much? There's no way anyone could spend that much on drink.

    The only way you could is if you were buying drinks for your mates all night. And if that was the case, then you're mates are stingey bastards...your 21st and all like!

    Once went on a bender with two friends who would make Withnail & I look like tea-totallers. was 1100 lighter by the end of it and had lost most of a week. On the plus side we were kicked out of The Savoy for "liberating" a goldfish-in-a-bag we had picked up somewhere, during a showing of Fifel Goes West.


    To this day none of us remember where we got the goldfish. :^/

    With it being a special occasion and having received a lot of monetary gifts from people, I decided to share the wealth. So I bought my friends and gf drinks too. Stupid to spend so much indeed, but it was a one off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,496 ✭✭✭Mr. Presentable


    All of it :(

    500-600 one night.

    What kinda bull**** is this?! :eek: a few THOUSAND euro nights out? wtf were you doing? Drugs aren't that expensive!!! Invlolved hookers obviously.

    Most I've ever spent is 80 euro on a night out and never again! Far too expensive, I hate spending more than 30 but then again i am a poor man who gets the nitelink home.

    150, I think. Up to 200 if it was a BIIIG night. But generally I'd just drink a lot from about 5pm, then get to 11.00 and then move to vodka and red bull.

    Binge drinking. Hurray. Thank **** those days are long gone.

    Regularly spend about €100 - €150 on a night out. Back in the day when I had a ridiculously well-paid job it would be easily double that. Dropped a fortune in Vegas, but we won't talk about that.

    For those of you who claim €50 is the most they've ever spent, where the hell are you going!?

    You've obviously never bought drugs.

    Or bought more three hours later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭cardwizzard


    Had a few 300 plus nights. Like a knob I must have being buying drinks for half the bar. Doubles all round:o. Kind of shudder at the thought of it. I remember I wouldn't go out on a big night unless I had at least 200 in my pocket. Tit.

    Thankfully that was ten or so years ago. Nowadays probably about 100 or 120, but would always have 20-30 left next morning. You know that dreaded feeling when you reach over to your jeans lying on the bedroom floor to see the damage.

    Or gone drinking properly... cos €25 + €5 for a nitelink will but you 5 pints at most.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,791 ✭✭✭ash23


    I went out one night and spent about €40 on drink. The results of that one night is now 8 years old and has probably cost me about the guts of €40k so far and there's more to follow over the next 10 years........

    I shouldn't have scrimped on the quality of condom.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,676 ✭✭✭ArphaRima


    I dont do drugs but 200-250 would be average. I dont really eat either as part of a night out. A lot of it is beer, multiple nightclub entry fees, cocktails. But taxi fares also eat a massive portion of that budget.

    You sound like a great parent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,760 ✭✭✭summerskin


    Spent over £500 many times on nights out in London, occasionally over £1k, with no drugs involved, just drink, taxis, food and clubs. Used to regularly pay £250 for a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label or Talisker 30 Year Old Cask Strength, plus a hundred or so on Cohiba cigars at The Lanseborough on Hyde Park Corner.

    Since I moved over to Ireland, probably spend about €150 on average or €300 or so on a big-ish night, but I only go out very occasionally now, two or three times a year really.
