Saturday Night Spend

Just as a matter of interest how much does your average saturday night on the beer cost and how you spend it? I spend easy a hundred now between drink taxi and maybe food! I hear some people saying they get away with 50 bills!! No way !!

biko · 14-09-2009 11:47AM

I spent about 70 this Saturday, incl taxi

renraw · 14-09-2009 11:48AM

Depends on company and how p1ssed I want to get, sometimes ends up near 200 notes...average sat nite probably about €100

eirebhoy · 14-09-2009 11:52AM

When I lose my memory around 150. When I keep my memory it's about half that.

PrettyBoy · 14-09-2009 11:52AM

If I'm in town, I'll easily spend €100-130 but my local is €3 a drink on Saturday so if I'm there I might get away with €50.

3 bills a drink on a saturday thats top notch!! Where that?

I used to spend nearly 150, but it's stupid. Now I drink at home and go to the pub later, last bus into town. Can get away with 50, maybe a little more with food. It's stupid money buying pints for over 5 euro a pop when you can get a few cans at home first. Can spend my money on stuff I'll actually remember while having essentially the same experience while out.

Euro_Kraut · 14-09-2009 11:56AM

Dom Pergion: €160
Coke - €70
High class hookers - €300
Garlic Chesse Chips - €3.95

Snowie · 14-09-2009 11:59AM

Dont really drink any more i get bad hang overs so I go out with about 30 maybe 40 blips

300 euro for high class hookers, get outta town

I don't bother with town on weekends anymore it's such a rip off, student nights during the week are great, even more so because i'm not a student!:D

Average Saturday in the local, maybe €50

blankblank · 14-09-2009 12:10PM

Have a few drinks beofre i head out,, and make a point of only bringing 40 in my wallet, that way i cant spend anymore.

Ed_ · 14-09-2009 12:11PM

I spen €0 this weekend on booze. It is usually €50 or there abouts.

Paddo81 · 14-09-2009 12:16PM

Including Taxis and whatever else, e100 on a good night. A good night being a cheap night. Its fookin crazy.

Wagon · 14-09-2009 12:17PM

Too much. I think i speak for everyone here too (everyone in dublin at least, dunno about small towns and other cities)

1mcampo1 · 14-09-2009 12:18PM

On average, 50+ squid on the weekend incl cab home.
But i usually just go out on weekdays because theres no charge going into clubs and all that

by my calculations that would be at least 1000 euro!?!

Jay P · 14-09-2009 12:21PM

30-40 at the very most. Usually get a few cans, which is 8-12, depending on my mood. Then maybe 20 when I go out. If I'm generous, I buy gifts of drinks for other people. I can't understand why or how people spend 100 quid on a night out...

kumate_champ07 · 14-09-2009 12:21PM

bottle of tesco whiskey 11euro, 1pint 4euro. max spend of 15euro.

sometimes I wont have the whiskey and just have the 1 drink.
watched tv with mates on saturday, went out on thursday got 2 free pints and payed for 1.

gazzer · 14-09-2009 12:22PM

Last time I was out in Dublin city on a Sat night (3 weekends ago) I spent:

€20 in the pub (4 Pints @ €5 each)
€10 into nightlclub
€18 on drinks (3 Pints @ €6 each)
€4 for a sandwich on the way home
€10 for taxi

So €62 in total on the night out. That would be about the average I would spend. If I dont go to a club it would be around €45-€50.

candlegrease · 14-09-2009 12:22PM

people here are spending way too much

smashey · 14-09-2009 12:23PM

Pfft.

In Strabane last week.

Taxi to pub - £3.00
8 Pints - £20.00
Taxi home - £3.00

Total - £26.00

Sweet.

happyoutish · 14-09-2009 12:31PM

The price of Drink here is ridiculous!!

I bring my drink in my bag!!

Along with sooooooooooo many other people!!

€20-€25 on a bottle of Vodka or whatever..

Water bottle filled, in the bag and away I go!! Just pay for minerals. So I could get away with about €40 incl club and taxi home. Usually end up coming home with some left over drink to!!

Was in a pub a few weeks ago and most of the company I was in had theirs in their bag... The bar staff even commented and told us we were dead right.... sweet

peepeep · 14-09-2009 12:32PM

What's with all the taxis? Don't people use the Nitelink anymore? It's only 5 euro. People on here spend a ridiculous amount of money on a night out methinks.

On a standard Saturday drinking session:

Bus into town: €1.60
Admission to club: €5.00 - €12.00
Cloakroom: €2.00
Drink: €???
Money given to random vagrants: €10.00
Filthy kebab that stays down for 10 minutes: €8.00
Taxi home: €20.00 + stupid tip

Total damage: €100-200

If I go to a dance gig:

Bus into town: €1.60
Pre-club pints: €8.00 for 2
Ticket/admission to club: €10.00 - €20
Cloakroom: €2.00
Pills: ~€15-€25 for 5
Tapwater: €0.00
Food: Haha, good one.
Taxi home: €20.00 (less since we leave together and split it evenly)

Total damage: €50-€75

So I don't go to town anymore unless there's something good on.

Professey Chin · 14-09-2009 12:42PM

Between 20-40 usually.Sometimes less

dearg lady · 14-09-2009 12:47PM

Yeah, mad money! I get bus in nitelink home, few drinks at home before, don't usually get food when I'm out boozin anymore, used to always, don't be hungry after night s out these days, or maybe just too tired!
Can vary but would generally spend around 20-30, and I have had a good few nights out for a tenner!

I_am_Jebus · 14-09-2009 12:48PM

Typically, €120 on alcohol

and another €30 on buses, niteclub entrance and some food.

Total €150...

There have been evenings I would spend up to €200 but thankfully not so often any more.

If Nitelink want to operate in Donegal and Tyrone, I'll use their service.

Corruptedmorals · 14-09-2009 12:51PM

€55-60 would be the minimum, always including €5 nitelink. It can reach €100 if I'm getting ready in a friend's house and getting a taxi to there from town and then back again staying over...the €100 would then include a rip-off Charlies or burger and chips and coke..
