How much so you spend on alcohol ..

JumpShivers

At Christmas?

We just bought three 20 bottle boxes of Coors, 6 bottles of wine, 2 bottles of Baileys, a bottle of Smirnoff and a few others.

Too little, too much?

Custardpi

Pah! Lightweight! I usually wash my lunch down with more than that *hic*

calanus

It will get you halfway I reckon...

inc21

€0 - Not that I don't drink just..

NegativeCreep

There's never any drink in my house at Christmas! Maybe the odd bottle of wine that someone might have gotten for secret santa, but that's it. I do my drinking in clubs.

Three slabs of Heineken usually gets me through the week.

I'll be out too!

Just for nights when I'm not.

You prob have enough beer but for the rest?
Ive seen all that been drunk by 5 or 6 people in a night easily

liliq

Jaysis!
Will prob get a slab and bottle or two of wine max.
Slab may get cut to 12 cans.

Spend exactly €12.95 on a bottle of JD. The pints of ice I get for free.

Best investment I ever made was that hipflask.

BNMC

Bout tree fiddy.

Sir Arthur Daley

6 boxes of 24 Heineken, 10 vino mix of red and white, 3 boxes of santa cruz, 2 slabs of guiness and 6 bottles of unbranded clear whiskey.

Stopped stocking up for Christmas as I end up drinking it all quicker. I find if just go down and buy it as I want it, I drink less.

There'll only probably be 3 people at max drinking it.

antodeco

I make my own beers, stouts, wines and Vodka. All it costs are the ingredients

Sunnyisland

A bit similar. I never gave much thought to the insane quantities of alcohol stacked around supermarkets this time of year.

I still don't think I get it. Do people just adopt raging alcoholism for the week? How does it work? Is it Heineken with breakfast or drinking every night?

Perhaps I'm being unkind, is the house jammed to the rafters with relations?

for one person too much

for 2 people probably enough

for 4 people ye'll be merry

for 8 people it will be a sober xmas

I'll probably be drinking almost every day from Thursday until after New Years ( maybe a dry day or two between Christmas and New Years) an awful lot of it will be in pubs so don't really stock up much for Christmas bar maybe a a slab or two of Bavaria. I've no idea what I'll spend but it will be a lot.

For instance I spent around 200 euro between drink and eating while drinking and after from Thursday night to Saturday night last week.

I love the whole session of Christmas though brilliant craic, most if all you can't beat the couple of sneaky ones after mass in the local on Christmas Eve with the family!

mardybumbum

Enough Bombay Sapphire to keep my Christmas interesting.

Rothko

Nothing. I'm on the wagon.

batman88

I asked the cashier to get more beer, he said there is no more.

Rabelais

Was up North this morning on a bit of business, and to ease the pain of being there I stopped into Sainsbury's on the way back. 3 craft ales and stouts for £5. Spent £60 on a lovely half trolley selection of pale ales, stouts, porters and bitters.

diomed

Lightweight. I get mine delivered on pallets.

I've just got home from asda. 4 for £5. I'm good for a while

keith16

On Friday usually 2 bottles of Spaten....€2.35 x2 = €4.70

Perhaps a bottle of wine on a Saturday = €10

Just shy of €15 per week / €60 per month.

Edit: Christmas - about 6 bottles of wine, 12 pack of Spaten, bottle of Baileys and usually I have enough Whiskey for some Irish Coffee!

galwayspur

Bottle of wine to have with dinner on the 25th e10-15 depending on what's there.

6 pack of decent beer which will more than likely last a couple of nights e10-15 again I reckon.

My Wife doesn't like wine or beer so I'll get her in a couple of bottles of West Coast Cooler - around a fiver a pop.

So e40 quid will more than likely cover it.

TPD

I'm going to get a bottle of tia maria and a bottle of vodka for my christmas drinks. The two bottles should do me a few days. My ma makes her own wine so there's probably about 50 bottles in, if I run short.

Henlars67

I bought my father a good bottle of whiskey once for xmas. Cost me around €100.

It's the only time I've ever bought anything in an off licence.

I do my drinking in the pub. If I can't afford to go the pub then I don't drink.

It's unlikely I'll have any drink over xmas this year as I can't afford any nights out.

TeddyTedson

€188 a week... :P

This year it will be about the €600 mark including nights out.

fussyonion

1 X box (20 bottles) of Heineken) = €20

1 bottle Bacardi
