    I usually have 6-8 pints before hitting the vodka. Usually around 80-100 quid all in after food and taxi

    20 quid at most. few pints, take away, walk home.

    Enough so that together with a hangover I also have the regret of spending way more than I could afford.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,816 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    100 - 120 average. Hoping to go out again towards the end of 2014.

    Anywhere from €10 to €80 depending on where I'm going and if taxis are needed.

    A disco? Have i gone back to the 70s


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,351 ✭✭✭NegativeCreep


    Way too much :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Depends.

    When I go out I go out to enjoy myself, if it costs a fiver or five grand then so be it.

    Pre Drinking - 6 cans of Heineken 10 euro
    Local Pub - 3 pints 12 euro
    Taxi - in 4 euro, taxi home 4 euro or 20 euro depends who I lose
    Nightclub - 5 euro in, 4 pints and usually one double vodka 30 euro
    Food - 10 euro

    So roughly around 70 - 80 euro. Thats generally my routine


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,987 ✭✭✭Legs.Eleven


    Not that much here. You can get piddled on very little or at least I can. 10 Euro usually or 20 if I'm hitting the harder stuff.

    Never heard that before? You need to broaden your horizons a bit my friend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,238 ✭✭✭Prodgey


    It's unreal when you don't drink, max I need to spend on a night is thirty at a push, that'd be if we were getting taxis. Most nights I come home with less than 15 quid spent.

    Do you live in the country?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭[-0-]


    About 40 dollars.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--


    Definitely wouldn't spend anywhere near 100 euro anyway. My alcohol tolerance is quite low most of the time and I'd never get takeway afterwards either


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Can vary, Could be as little as €30, could be up to €80-90.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 10,685 Mod ✭✭✭✭melekalikimaka


    from predrinking to bed... 120 usually


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,977 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    Go out ?


  • Posts: 53,068 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    If I go "into town" it costs me a fortune, taxi is €30!

    I'm gonna give a few weeks off the booze a go so I can drive and not spend a fortune on alcohol. I've a big night out in two weeks and I'm going to see how I get on without drinking, if I can bear listening to drunken people talk shyte I may make it a long term thing :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭languagenerd


    Depends who I'm out with :P

    If it involves food and getting a taxi by myself, it's anything up to €50 (the taxi alone costs over €20); if it involves sharing a taxi or staying with a friend, it could be less than €20. I don't drink though, so it depends how many Lucozades I get through at €3 or €3.50 each :pac:

    I used to go out by myself for a few pints with the hope of meeting someone i could talk to (i have no friends) but no one ever talks to me so i stopped. I used to spend about 40 euro.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    Depends on how much the hooker wants to get paid for teabagging me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,401 ✭✭✭Skuxx


    Used to be €100-120, but I gave up drink a few months ago, so now maybe €30-40! I realized I can have just as much of a good night sober, I don't have the horrible hangover the next day and I have more money to spend on things I want!
    Mature beyond my years!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I dont drink that much but when I do go out I wouldn't count how much its costing me. No point in worrying about that sort of stuff until "the fear" kicks in the next morning and you take a look at your wallet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 401 ✭✭theblaqueguy


    Normally spend about 50 quid in the pub then I have to get food after so I head to KFC cos I love fried chicken and theirs is finger licking good then I gotta get a taxi home so about €70-80 altogether


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭Pang


    80-100. The odd time I can get away with only spending 60. Alot depends on the gang I'm out with. If we start doing shots, sometimes the card needs to be taken out :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Grandeeod


    6 pints. 20 smokes. Jamaican curry with rice and peas to take home and a taxi.

    26 euro.

    Is it 6 pints of water? Sounds cheap


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭username_x


    Between predrinks, cigarettes, food and taxis home about 70-80 quid. That's a midweek student night.

    Weekends depend on where I go. Heading out on Friday so I'll know then I suppose
