    Don't worry, I don't.

    I did lose €50 on a night out once, which sucked majorly because I was still sober!!! :(

    Spent €170 on a night out before. Went through a constant cycle of chips > sick > pint to wash out taste > hunger > more chips > sick > pint to wash out taste > hunger > cycle repeats etc.

    That ate up a solid 90€ I was in such a state.

    Unlucky

    well I did then and I would now if I needed to

    I would be quite safe as to look at me you would probably think I was going to ask for money

    I'd say nearly 1,000 in my prime.

    Expensive drinks, hotel room, and.... stuff.

    I was playing with the big boys back then.

    I lost. :(

    If they won they'd hardly have "spent" the money would they?

    Maybe start a thread called "What's the most you ever won/found on a night out?" to find if the same people also win at times.

    The arithmetic of blowing, say, a ton in Dublin are simple.

    Ten drinks at a fiver each.

    Smokes at eight a pack.

    Taxi Fare.

    Some Nosh.

    Bingo.

    If you are going to go on a bender it is actually cheaper to fly abroad to do it.

    I went to Berlin for 24 hours in January. Ryanair special €30 including all extras.

    Smokes are less than four a pack. So buying just one carton already covers the flight.

    Beer in local pubs is about €1.50 per half litre of lager - far superior to what you get here.

    Resturants about half the price they are here. Great clubs, mostly free in , and the city is open 24/7

    Ryanir flight left Berlin at nine the next morning and, excluding the savings I made by bringing home 800 cigarettes, I spent less than €150 in total.

    Leaving a night club one night very hammered i wanted to buy two bottles of vodka for a house party they charged me by the shot and in my drunken state i paid €400 for two bottles.

    About €300. Good night that! Normal weekend night is probably €100.

    When I was in the summer of first year of college I lived with some great lads but piss heads the lot of us. We ended up on the lash for something like 28 nights in a row, I still managed to work two jobs, one in a call center the other as a bar man :-) I felt like one really long night out and was definately the most I've spent on drink probably about 3 grand... Awsome summer thoug although got the flu for 3 weeks after when college started again, stands to reason really...

    Average weekend night out in town costs €200 and have often spent way more


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,231 ✭✭✭Fad


    I get stupidly generous when I'm out, fine if it's normal drinks, but when I get to the point where I start buying doubles for people, I need someone to take my wallet away from me :eek:

    I'm a student so cheap drink isnt too hard to find, and I work too, but spending a weeks wages on a night out is not a good plan.......:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,791 ✭✭✭electrogrimey


    6 Orangeboom - €6
    Bus into town - €1.15
    Club - €5
    1, maybe 2 cheap drinks - €2.50 - €5
    2 Eurosaver Hamburgers - €2
    Walk home - €0

    Total - €16.65 - €19.15

    I'm kind of a big deal. People know me.
