How much do you spend on drink and drugs?

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 28-05-2010 02:14PM

On average of about 15-20 euro a week, not bad eh

I rarely go out though, when I do I don't go nuts. Most expensive night out was in 2007, spent a little over 300 quid, but that included nude lapdances and the likes

Fcuking well worth it. Doubt I would do that again though.

Drink: under a tenner
Drugs: nada

"How much do you spend on drink and drugs? "

1) Is that per year/month/week/day/hour ?

2) Shouldnt it be "How much do you spend on drink and other drugs?

3) To what extent should flights/hotels in Amsterdam be included in the calculation ?

4) Those who say they "dont spend anything on drugs" do you use caffiene/nicotine/sugar......

If on the lash then €100 approx.

Zero on the auld drugs.

What kind of wine and beers set you back 50 euros?
I could get 13 bottles of nice wine or 100 cans of beer for that

You don't.

Get a job. One-trick ponies can plough fields and the like surely?

For personal consumption, the average would be close to €0.00

entropi · 28-05-2010 02:33PM

Less than 50euro a week on booze for sure, I dont drink every week and on a scale of 1 to coppers for drunken-ness, I'd be around a 5 at most:pac:

Never into the aul drugs, not my scene so thats no euros per week.

thats you. people can spend their money whatever way the like. Irish begrudgery is alive and well.
I dont even want to think about how much I spent on drink during the good old celtic tiger days. Three nights a week full lash. I'm lucky to get an end of a can of dutch gold found floating down the camac these days.

Where's the €0 spent on drugs option?

It's a multiple choice poll, if you don't spend any on drugs then you don't click any of the drugs options.

I said earlier in the thread, per week.

No it shouldn't unless I'm writing my thesis for Cambridge. You know what was meant by the question.

Not at all.

I'm sure they do but I'm not anal about such things. You know the meaning of the question.

I wonder what these figures would be like say 2006/7. Would people of spent much more?

I voted 100 - 150 as I suppose that would be an average. It could be more though and even a lot more on a big week/weekend. I always appear to spend at least 80 euro on a night out and go out a least once a week but often more.

He most likely earned it, why shouldn't he spend it on what he wants? It's true that there are many less fortunate people out there but if I work hard for something, I shouldn't feel guilty of getting a reward for it.

Meaningless poll unless it has ....per day....per week....per fortnight..per month or some other unit.

So people can give answer.

Like saying I'm doing a hundred. Yeah, but what...foot per hour....miles per hour etc.

I spend about 50 EUR per fortnight on beer for having a drink at home.

there sure is!

but just because so spend 300 or whatever on it per week doesnt mean your at nothing else. in fact at the very least it means your working a job that allows you such a lavish social life.:D

The (unfair and down right unjust) difference between Ireland & France I guess

poisonated · 28-05-2010 03:05PM

I'm a studednt so I would probably go out about 2-3 times a week. Considering a good drinks special would be 3 euro a pint, I would spend about 60 euro a week on booze. That is, if you didn't factor in the cost of admission into the night club.

You know, if you spent that on illegal drugs, you'd have a great night out and get most of your money back (if not all or more) by selling the surplus you'd left over.

Plus you'd only be dealing with a few grams of the drug rather than a few gallons of it.

jester77 · 28-05-2010 03:23PM

I usually go through three six-packs of staropramen per week - €10.80
7 or 8 pints in the pub during a week - ~€25
