About 20% of people do. So 4 out of 5 times you get a perfectly good drink for free

On the rare occasions these days
Drink before going out €10
Taxi €10
Club €10-€15
Drink €50-60
Food €5+
Taxi home €10
money fell down the back of the taxi seat €4

If its down to my local its usually 50-70 euro. On a big night out 100-150 euro.

ArphaRima · 24-06-2011 04:46AM

Regularly 180 Euro in Dublin.

Taxi 15-20 each way = 35.
Taxi in town = 10
2 clubs (2x10) = 20.
No food.
Drinks until 4.30-5am usually. = 9x5.50 = 49.5

Still only 114.50!
I havent a clue where the rest of the cash is going. I must be drinking more than I thought.

Regularly 250 in China.
Taxi 2x5 euro = 10
Splitting mega round with guys for big table of girls 80 euro.
Vodka Belvedere bottle with mixers 130 euro.
Shots 40 euro.

250. Easy.

hatrickpatrick · 24-06-2011 06:34AM

You guys are doing it wrong.
Few cans for predrinks + guestlist in NV + €1 drinks until midnight + nitelink home at 4am = €15 TOPS.

24-06-2011 07:02AM

If I'm down the local, €10-15.

In town, €50.

jester77 · 24-06-2011 09:15AM

Transport runs 24-7 and my work ticket covers that
Bars don't close so no need to pay for a club

On a long session till about 6 or 7 the following morning it would be about €35 (10 beers + kebab)
On a normal relaxing evening out, €15-€20

"predrinks"
:rolleyes:

nearly in the same category as spraying on a fake tan before you go to the beach to get a tan

What's "predrinks"? Is that, er, drinking before you....drink....?

tayto lover · 24-06-2011 10:13AM

A lot of exaggeration in some posts methinks.

5 pints is enough for anyone - 20/25 euro
Takeaway on way home - 10 euro.

Clear head the next day - priceless.

Ah, nothing like a drink to get you in the mood for eh, a drink.

I should have unfollowed this thread, waking up to mails from it on a Friday morning is making it seriously hard to concentrate on work. Maybe I'll have a few pre-drinks for lunch, 'cos they're not drinks, just predrinks.

Where the hell does €2.50 drink's these days?

mconigol · 24-06-2011 11:13AM

I'm guessing a lot of people on here don't buy rounds when they go out? That really sucks money out of your pocket!

EL_Loco · 24-06-2011 11:16AM

with all the stories of stingy feckers in rounds you'd be mad to. Was never a huge drinker myself so tended to stay out of them anyway.

Maybe so! Although I like to take the viewpoint that you only live once and sure what's a few drinks in the grand scheme of things....probably only to make myself feel better staring into an empty wallet the next day though!

Loanshark Blues · 24-06-2011 11:55AM

6 cans/bottle of cheap wine before I go out: 5 euro
A pint or 2 after going out: 10 euro
Nitelink home: 5 euro
Centra hot chicken roll: 2.39

Most nights...22.39, I'd never spend more than 30 on a night out, that's just crazy...

Da Shins Kelly · 24-06-2011 11:55AM

About twenty or thirty euro - tobacco (if I need it), taxi fare and pre-drinks! I don't buy anything in the pubs. Get nicely drunk beforehand, and then go out. Saves me a lot of money.

Saves a lot of money in fairness. All of yiz spending over 100 euro on a night out is crazy. Drinking at home with friends or going to another friend's house for drinks and then going out saves a lot of money rather than buying drink in pub.

Are you still in Brum ? Cos 13 pints here are a lot easier on the pocket than Dublin. Its travesty really that I'm moving away from this place, probably back to Dublin. Really wish they could sort Digbeth out though , its got so much potential

No. I,m back in dublin,

jimthemental · 24-06-2011 02:25PM

Too much. I don't really get hangovers. Instead I get a deep sense of shame when I look at my wallet or the shrapnel in my pocket the morning after.

Makes no difference to me. I could have half a crate of bottles and still go mad on pints and shots for the night and spend a fortune. Christ, what's going to happen to me when I get to Oz, I'll probably have to give it up.

Azureus · 24-06-2011 02:51PM

I'd spend an average of €30-€50 on a night out once a week.
€10 bottle of wine / predrinks
€5 taxi there, another 5 back
€5 food after
And remainder spent on drinks in the pub.
