    If you brew your own beer, you would save a huge amount of money.

    its funny so many people like cooking but not making beer...

    Zero on cigarettes, maybe a hundred or so a month on beer. Depends on what I end up doing in the month, to be honest - in a quiet month, it could be a good deal less than that.

    I would argue they are extremely successful, its hard to keep up

    Don't smoke.

    Varies wildly with alcohol but generally never more than 200 a month.

    Was tempted to say a grand a month on drink purely to transform the gale of moralizing into a hurricane.

    Hmmm...maybe you should change tactics!

    0 on cigarettes, maybe 10 or 20 on beers or wine.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,285 ✭✭✭✭mickdw


    Don't smoke and drink about twice a year so maybe 20 quid per month on average.

    Don't know really, depends on month and how many night out there are. I'm sure I spend at least 300 to 400 on average including taxis, food before/after etc. Don't smoke so nothing on that.

    I'd rather be shot in the balls.


  • Registered Users Posts: 618 ✭✭✭Pingi


    Don't smoke or drink at home.

    Spend about €80 on a night out but half that's transport/entrance fees/grub and have 1 or 2 nights out a months.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Don't know really, depends on month and how many night out there are. I'm sure I spend 3 to 400 on average including taxis, food before/after etc.

    Not too bad and sure you are saving a fortune on washing powder/shower gel too..... :pac:

    Sorry, it was an open goal, I couldn't resist :p

    oh this is sad but at least they lived doing what they loved!

    hmmm....Instead, I'm going to think they all got bored and move to brewing beer, its less morbid.

    Nah it was the goal of the season :)

    Zero on cancer sticks.
    It was zero on alcohol, but bought some red wine recently and plan on one glass of red wine a day for health benefits.
    I drink that at home, people still think I don't drink so I keep that persona when I go out, what they don't know is good for my liver.
    So depending on the price of a bottle of wine as I like to try different red wines out, but nothing too expensive. Haven't worked out the cost yet, as it is too recent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,489 ✭✭✭sh1tstirrer


    5 pints isn't binge in my eyes especially when your taking your time with them. Could easily drink 14 pints in a session if I wanted to. My liver is perfectly healthy tyvm.
    The thing about drinking and your liver is that it will repair itself over and over until after enough abuse it says fcuk this and gives up with no come back.

    Looking back i wished they had put a €10 price tag on cigarettes years ago.
    Havent touched one since december 5th after a pack a day for a few decades.

    And on drink i dont spend much either. Also to do with price.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 936 ✭✭✭JaseBelleVie


    About €80 a week on cigarettes (though that will be going down as I've started using an e-cigarette; it's brilliant at helping me cut down).

    About €100 or so a week on drink. I only generally go out for drinks on Saturday. During the week, I might get a few bottles from the local off licence. I usually have a glass of vodka or whiskey too a couple of times a week. Every 2 or 3 weeks or so, I will also buy a bottle of spirits to go with it.

    So €180 a week on average, plus an increase for a bottle of spirits once every 2/3 weeks.

    Zero, in both columns.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,805 ✭✭✭Calibos


    I can see why so many boardsies think that its impossible to live on the Dole of €188 a week


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    Nothing on smokes. I was spending about 140 a week on them up til 2 months ago (i smoked 40 a day). Thankfully, I quit.

    About 20 on alcohol. Usually a bottle of wine every 2 weeks or so.

    I've never smoked, and find it a truly disgusting habit.

    I'll have about 8 beers a month, so €40.

    My partner and I would polish off two bottles of wine per week at home. So 8 bottles a month. Anywhere between €200 and €400 depending on what we like to drink at that time. Might go mad and spend a bit more on a really good bottle if the mood is on us.
