How much do you spend when you go out

MaroonAndGreen · 20-10-2013 10:56PM

Well with college:

Pre-Drinking - €10-15 (can usually be enough to get ya locked for the night if you shop around and get the good deals.)
Taxis - €6-8 per night spent on taxis.
Nightclub - €5 in. And no need to buy drinks if you get the pre drinking-right!
Chipper (optional) - €5.

So at most I'd spend €35 and at the least €15-20.

So I could afford to go out twice a week most weeks in college

All hail pre-drinking.

If it's just a few pints with the lads about 30 or 40 quid...

Nights out with the Mrs generally involve restaurant taxis etc...around 150....we only go out once a month thank Jesus!

Between 80-120, Id say the average for women would be lower than for men.

Mint Aero · 20-10-2013 11:13PM

Anyone who spends more than €34.96 would want their head examined.

Tugboats · 20-10-2013 11:16PM

On Average:
Drink 60euro
Food 10euro
taxi 10euro
ROHYPNOL 5euro

Stheno · 20-10-2013 11:20PM

Oh doesn't drink, and we take advantage of special offers. so average night out including dinner would be max. €60 including a few glasses of wine for me.

We splashed out for our anniversary and dinner was over a hundred euro

Autosport · 20-10-2013 11:21PM

I usually spend about €10 as I drive so no taxi needed and I don't drink alcohol so i only have around 3 soft drinks.

_Redzer_ · 20-10-2013 11:23PM

Usually €50-€90. Last week I tried to be tight and bought a bottle of whiskey for €15, that's all I spent, but fvck me that wasn't the smartest move either and let to a lot more regret the morning after.

SparkySpitfire · 20-10-2013 11:24PM

Went out last night and spent a whopper amount...

Had a bottle of wine at home already
Used my bus ticket to get into town
Free into Doyles
Two drinks: €10.50
McD's burger: €1.50
Lift home

€12.00 cheapest night I've ever had :pac:

At MOST I'd spend:
Predrinks: €12ish
Bus: €2.80
Entrance: €5
Drinks: €20
McDonalds: €5
Nightlink: €6
So the most I'd spend in total: €50.80

But normally I get away with no door charge, a bus ticket and 2 drinks max in the place

TheSetMiner · 20-10-2013 11:32PM

I usually have 6/8 cans at a mates house, walk to the club, bout 2 euro in midweek sometimes free.. get food afterwards rarely and walk home in the end... Most id buy is one or two drinks in the club also, sometimes none... so i have pulled miracle 6 euro nights out of the bag but have also gone over 20 on occasion. haters gonna hate the stinge but its a numbers game for me... the less i spend per night, the more nights i can go out

What club you going to that's only 2 quid in?

dgt · 20-10-2013 11:35PM

About €20 tops out and about, several cans/bottles before I leave the house though and sometimes I bring my trusty hip flask filled up with jager

Probably about €40 in total for a night!

20-10-2013 11:37PM

Very little compared to most people I know. About €30. Sometimes less.

I drink slowly. Don't get chipper food. Or taxis. Or go to nightclubs..

Only 2 drinks? I could never drink that little. If I've feck all money all of it goes on drink so I don't eat and I walk home. Those would be most nights out in fairness!

All the locals midweek - with a stamp

anncoates · 20-10-2013 11:40PM

I don't always do exactly the same thing, go to the same place or drink the same amount every time I go out so it's kind of a pointless question.

Felexicon · 20-10-2013 11:42PM

What the fook are predrinks?

Stheno · 20-10-2013 11:43PM

I'm in my early forties and we would never go out on a boozy night, it's dinner then home for a few drinks, or dinner and the cinema etc, so my comparison may not be right.

The odd time I do go out for work/hobbies, I'd spend about forty, and he comes in and drives me home so no taxi

Yeah! I'm already plastered from the wine, there's no need to go overboard and be vomming in the bathroon

I normally only buy them to have something in my hand!

Drinking drink from the offo before you go out so you don't have to buy as much over priced drink in a club.

Geuze · 20-10-2013 11:57PM

Out twice this week.

First night, two pubs, four beers, spent 4.50 + 3.20+3.20+3.20 = 14.10.

Second night, three different pubs, four pints, spent 16.20.

lucozade13 · 21-10-2013 12:25AM

Between €50 and €70

Roughly, it is something like ...
5 Pints in pub = about €22
Pay into nightclub = €10
3 Drinks in nightclub = €13
Jacket left in - €2
Sometimes get a burger and/or chips - €6/€7
Taxi home - €12
= approx €66

That would be for a Saturday night and if I was feeling tight I would avoid the chipper and a pint or two in the pub, knocking off another €15 or so, so around €50.

Rare that I've ever spent more than €80 on a night out and if I did I felt a serious wallet-hangover the next day!
I'm almost certain I've never spent €100 on 1 night out!

pharmaton · 21-10-2013 12:42AM

bout 50ish, usually find change all over the floor in the morning and if I've been especially good a five euro note in a back pocket somewhere. I live "in town" and rarely need a taxi and if I do it's minimal fare so roughly a fiver to get from club to bed. I drink stupidly priced vodka/rum mixers though but try to do two for tenner jobbies when they're on offer.

LOSTfan57 · 21-10-2013 01:09AM

€127.64
Thats last nights cost......not too bad actually haha

Voodoomelon · 21-10-2013 01:24AM

Night out in Dundalk is typically in the €70-€80 range. Don't do this pre-drink lark, straight to the pub. Usually guts of 5 pints and 6 shorts, plus taxi and food.

Spin down to Dublin costs me €40 alone in petrol to stay in a mates, plus €100 minimum. Those nights out are a killer.
Can certainly understand the drinking before in cities, prices are off the wall.

retalivity · 21-10-2013 01:30AM

if myself and herself go out , it can run into $200 with just beers, food, taxis. If shots/cocktails are involved it would be another 100

Taxes and tipping is a balls

Is the country anywhere outside of the metropolis you call Dublin?

policarp · 21-10-2013 02:09AM

4 Course meal + half bottle of wine, then 5 pints.
€25. In Spain.
We're being ripped off here.
10 Cent extra on drinks after the budget.
So 5 pints tonight €25.
Wish I could say "Never again."

dorkacle · 21-10-2013 02:36AM

90 quid atleast usually...

I regularly spend more so 90 would be a relatively cheap night, always regret it the next day!
