How much is a double vodka and red bull these days. I haven't drank in 5 years.

Fart · 31-10-2011 02:34PM

Completely overpriced. Utter disgrace!

31-10-2011 02:36PM

I always thought this must be lethal, clashing a stimulant with a depressant can't be good for you.

Eldoco · 31-10-2011 02:36PM

agreed plus sometimes you don't actually get red bull just some cheap ass imitation but still some charge the same.

I got some serious sickenings on that stuff. Smell of it repulses me still.

im not sure but i think it was around 11.70 in a pub!crazy

Price of spirits and red bull are both a complete joke in Ireland. It's a bad mix and usually costs an arm and a leg and you're finished it in 15 minutes max. You'd be broke before ya get drunk if ya had a few of them.

About ten years ago I worked in a bar with a function room, at weekends. For 21st parties, the biggest seller was a triple vodka with red bull in a pint glass with ice - we used to sell it for a tenner at the time. I remember telling the manager that I was sure it was illegal to sell 'one' drink like this but he just looked at me, with dollar signs in his eyes....:rolleyes:

My lasting memory of those nights was of the rancid smell of red bull and my feet sticking to the floor as I tried to clean up after the 'revellers'....it's awful stuff!

Good fecking jaysus and people are skint these days. Maybe one at the end of the night when you're banjacked to perk yourself up so ya might be able to manage even a horn for a few minutes but feck getting too many at that price:D

Would never drink it in a pub only ever in a nightclub when its on special like 8 euro would usually have 1 or 2 and then onto the pints, however when on holidays ie Spain etc its dirt cheap so would always drink it when I'm away

pudzey101 · 31-10-2011 02:48PM

The exact reason to why i sneek a jumbo naggon of vodka to the club with me

and i can have it as weak/ strong as i like haha

Vicxas · 31-10-2011 02:48PM

I used to drink Double Vodka and red bull, but its too far expensive

31-10-2011 02:50PM

Either double vodka and red bull or 7up. I was paying 12 something for double vodka and red bull in the club Saturday night and the club I was in Thursday night were charging 10 euro for them.

It's great stuff though, nothing better to keep you going if the tiredness starts to hit on a night out, we call it "wake up juice".

Kiera · 31-10-2011 02:52PM

Always hated the taste of redbull and when i tried it with vodka years ago i found it made me forget most of the night. Double vodka and cranberry is where its at

RightlyRandom · 31-10-2011 03:04PM

€13.00 in one the clubs here.. €4.50 vodka n €4.00 redbull. Madness!

PseudoFamous · 31-10-2011 03:07PM

Rum and coke is expensive as hell these days, too.

Why would it be illegal? Genuinely curious.

pudzey101 · 31-10-2011 03:26PM

them Jagerbombs (red bull + jagermeister) are a disgrace at the price aswelll!!..prices change every single week

jester77 · 31-10-2011 03:29PM

I was out drinking with a few Russians a while back and we were drinking something called Russisch Koks (Russian Coke). You had a slice of lime, put a teaspoon of coffee powder and a teaspoon of brown sugar on the lime, bite it and throw back the vodka on top. Instant rush and a lot better than any vodka energy drink.

Its safety is in question the taurine was never tested. also it enables you drink far to much, when you drink that amount of double vodkas you should be on the floor instead of being the best dancer in the disco.

5.50 for double vodka and red bull in a club in Galway! ha take that Dublin

TheZohanS · 31-10-2011 03:42PM

Used to drink DVRB all the time when I was out. The tricky thing with the stuff is that even when you're hammered you just keep going. Nasty sweats at night after the stuff too, but that's from all the sugar in the redbull. The best way to drink the stuff is in a pint glass, single vodka, redbull and add in some water. Wouldn't drink doubles these days and I don't like the hangovers, but it can be a good drink if you're playing catch-up or are wrecked tired when you're heading out.

kfallon · 31-10-2011 03:48PM

The smell of red bull alone makes me feel like puking, hate the stuff!

Wouldn't drink it with vodka or even on its own!

I love a single vodka measure with red bull but only drink it on a night out and only have the one as a treat might have two if I can afford it. Ya it is quiet expensive so tend to stick with alcopops when going out.

Generally people probably buy the vodka and red bull and have it at home its more cost affective. The thing with it is it tastes so nice that you could drink too much of it. Guy can't handle it neither can they handle cocktails like us ladies.

I only have vodka and red bull as treat really. Its nice, and easy to drink. I find the double measure doesn't go down well with me so find the single vodka measure is fine. Ya its expensive but if you shop around you get a good bargain around pubs. Cheaper in pubs/late bars than the nightclubs. And depends on what vodka brand the pub/club uses can determine the cost.

There are places that it is far too pricey. Around €7-8.50 be about right anything more be too expensive.

Why on earth would someone pay that price?

You would have to be mad to pay that for one drink. And lets be honest, many would get more than one on the night too.

I'd rather chat to someone that had snorted a bowl of cocaine, than someone after a few cans of fcuking red bull.

Double vodka and.....
