    As the title says, about how much do you spend on drink and how much on drugs if you do them per week? Do you consider it a waste of money?

    I'd say I blow anywhere between 100-300 a week. Enjoy it at the time but left with that 'ah bollocks' feeling afterwards.

    Probably a bit too much on the old gargle but haven't done much, if any gear for years. I realised that it just wasn't for me. Pity it took so long to find that out :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    I spend almost nothing.

    Haven't had a drink in about two weeks and I don't take drugs.

    Depends on the week if I was drinking though. Usually spend less than €50 as I am a poor student. Sometimes 50-100.

    It was €25, but since the headshops closed - zilch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,444 ✭✭✭Dohnny Jepp


    3 to 4 bottles of mcguigan shiraz so i'm in the up to 50 cat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    I'd spend about €30 on booze maybe €50 for the taxi home from town.* I hate living in the countryside.

    Uh, I made a mess of the poll.... loads scan, loads.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,949 ✭✭✭✭IvyTheTerrible


    Very very little.

    Between myself and my partner, we drink between 6 and 12 small bottles of beer a week, and maybe a bottle of wine.

    If I drink more than one drink I feel like hell (I don't know if I have a tolerance), so it's just not worth it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    Very little. I'd say about €50 on a bad (good :o) week. Usually it's more around the region of €20 (off license)

    about 250-350 a week for the past few years.. jesus i really need to stop drinking. sucha waste!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭bluto63


    Betweem 50-100 on drink, taking into account going out then if I were to do anything else it would be seldom enough, so less than 50


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    €346 on drink in the last 12 months, a weekly average of €6.65, and that's including drink I might buy for other people. Not a heavy drinker or a frequent pub goer.

    Yeah,

    I spend nothing on drink and drugs....

    And no I don't work in an off licence and sell drugs on the side..:rolleyes:

    Although it does sound like a good idea now that I mention it

    LOL, no. Last night out was 4 weeks ago. I spent about €26 on drink. :o

    I've had about 3-4 units of alcohol (wine) since.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 36,496 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    About a tenner, maybe twenty if I'm flush.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,598 ✭✭✭✭prinz


    I could go weeks without spending a penny and then have a week where I could go out a few days or nights and have a few......... too many. When I do spend on drink I tend to overspend, but not that often. Have spent upwards of €250 many a time. None on drugs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 565 ✭✭✭Millie


    If I don't go out then maybe €40/50 on wine and a few beers.

    If on the lash then €100 approx.

    Zero on the auld drugs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 679 ✭✭✭just-joe


    Maybe up to 50, 60 quid on a big night, which would be few and far between, The funny thing is you spend the same amount on a student 2euro night or whatever as you do on a normal expensive one, and don't even end up more panini-ed. Just buyin other people drinks, what a waste.
