How much do you spend a month on booze or fags

Wompa1

In a typical month. 0 on both. Don't smoke and haven't been drinking much for the last 4 years or so

Cee-Jay-Cee

Zero on both Couldn't afford to smoke or drink regularly even if I wanted.

Don't smoke (anymore).

Would drink a bottle of whiskey over a month....maybe a beer about 3 nights a week as well.

but almost always at home, so not paying pub prices. You can get a bottle of Jameson here for about 1800yen, which is only about 11 euro. About 1.30 for a 330ml can of standard lager. Goes up to about 2 for the better ones. Yum.

So far this month, roughly 80 euro on drink. Probably over a hundred next week and probably around 150 the week after that. Unfortunately a few events I want to attend have been very close to some of my friends' birthdays in January. I'm done drinking for a while after January.

Would usually be about €40 p/m on smokes, zero so far this month.

Drink, couldn't give you an average. Somewhere between 100 and 400, depending on what's going on and how much disposable income I have.

Each week I spend

€80 on rent
€35 on 2 bottle of vodka
€50 for a bag to smoke

That leaves me with €23 for my portion of the food budget.

For some reason i always had it in my head that everything in Japan is ridiculously expensive

masti123

You're being silently judged

I'm a year off the smokes,, but did spend 300 a month when I did smoke,, and when I did go out to bars I would spent around 100 per week.
So that's 700 PM for both.

But about 4 years ago I stopped going out and have been in a bar maybe twice in the last 4 years. My wife was on some mad diet and was off the wine or shandy, it was just the push I needed to stop going out myself.

Now once a month if I go to the supermarket with to do the shopping, I may pick up an 8 pack of Dutch Gold,, maybe once per month.

So now, it is a big 0 on cigs,, and 10 smackers a month on beer.

Some stuff is, but there isn't much tax on alcohol or cigarettes. about 460yen for a pack of cigarettes like Marlboro (others might even be a bit cheaper). That's around 3 euro.

Still ridiculous that it can be imported to Japan, have whatever tax and other costs there are added, and still be less than half the price the same bottle of whiskey in Ireland.

TheBeardedLady

About 40 Euro.

Lia_lia

Don't smoke.

Probably about €40 a month on average for drink.

The amount of money that people spend on cigarettes is sickening!

Reiketsu

Nothing on cigarettes now. I have been off them for almost a year now. As for alcohol, it depends on if I go out at all. Probably around £25 for a couple of bottles of spirits for weekends in but I could spend about £70 on a night out - predrinking, drinks and shots in the bar and food afterwards.

My monthly wage is equal to what the OP spends on just booze and ciggies per month :-(

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.

You're drinking 5 days a week. Thats binge drinking

brummytom

About £360-400 on drink, and about £160 on fags.

Zero on cigs - I do not smoke.

Alcohol consumption actually is a NEGATIVE value. Most of what drinking I do is at my monthly house party. And by the time people throw me a few quid towards it each month - I almost always break even or hit a small profit (which I then put back into the next months one).

So over all my answer here is in the negative value spent.

Usually five pints after work two nights a week is around 60 euro. 60*4 is 240. Nice and relaxing after a hard days work and wouldn't be hungover at all the next morning.

Knock them midweek pints on the head for six months and you would be able to afford to install your own home bar in living room or shed. Get your mates to chip in for the kegs, whack in a TV, dart board, pool table and what not. Work out much cheaper in the long run. A keg costs circa €130 and you get just over 100 pints out of her.

Frigga_92

I don't smoke. In a typical month I spend €0 on drink.

Duggy747

Off the fags since August so I use that money and invested in drinking more beer. Delicious, lovely beer.

We don't go out that much so usually we drink at home where I get to act like Al Bundy, I'd say I spend around €80 to €100 a month.........depending on the thirst.

Wolf Club

I'd say around €50 on cigarettes and €100-€600 on drink.

Pinch Flat

At the moment €0. I'm off the booze for January and don't smoke - I'm astonished at some of the figures quoted here.

A usual month for me would consist of a booze run to stock on on vino - so about €60. Plus add in a few craft / nice beers for the fridge I suppose about another €40. Don't go out a huge amount so perhaps €50 for a few casual pints after work.

eviltwin

Zero. I don't smoke and don't drink. Used to do both in epic quantities. Feeling much better for it now.
