How much do you drink before you go out?

I went for 2/3 cans as my average amount of drinks before i head out, but normally its just enough to get me merry so can range from a few shots of vodka to half a bottle of wine. Nothing too mad.

I never really drink before heading out, principally because I don't like getting tanked up on own (my flatmate being nearly akin to a teetoller). It doesn't take too much to get me going anyway. Having said that, loads of euro did a magic vanishing trick after Friday night so it's possibly worth reconsidering. Or not..

It's always a pain when money "Disappears" while out drinking.

I never used to drink at home at all, or drink before I went out. I now have quite an assortment to pick from for before going out drinking. It's cheaper to have a few at home and be 'happy' out and only have to spend money on 1 or 2 while you are out (which equals to what I'd spend on a 6 pack at home)

I'd actually much rather party at home with friends, we always have way more fun when we order pizza, get the cards out and everyone brings thier own drink. It's much more comfortable and easier on the wallet

I rarely drink before going out and I don't drink that much when I am out anymore. Life's too short to spend many days suffering with hangovers.

Man, I don't even remember posting this thread. Now I'm worried.

Everyone is aware that somehow a 20-month-old thread was dragged up without as much as a blunked (past participle of blinked) eyelid?

*shakes head*

As the good man Mr Churchill once pointed out:

Its not to make us more interesting, its to make you more interesting.

I don't much drink in pubs at present (17, no income, 6th year)
but i'd imagine once i hit college i'll have 3/4 cans before heading out for a long night. the appeal of a night out is the atmosphere, the company and the slight intoxication. The actual state of "drinking" in the pub is just a formality...

while away in France over the summer i shared an apartment with 5 guys and all (bar the non-alcoholics) had plenty to drink before leaving for the pub. my preffered was a bottle of wine but that wasn't on the poll

well, luckily i am no longer a pauper student, so i dont need to go drink before i go out.
nor do i infact go out to get locked anymoe, simply because i no longer need to get up the ol dutch courage try chat anyone up.

which is nice

Usually have about 2 cans before I leave otherwise my bladder would never survive the bus journey into town

I was starting to worry that the entire population of boards.ie were secret alcos until this post... I'll admit that I do go out and get smashed about once a month, and I have done it twice this month already, but generally the best nights out don't begin with a few cans at the house...
