How much do you spend when you go out

candy-gal1 · 21-10-2013 05:52AM

About 50e, pending on where I go obviously, but an average night out of drinking for me including food on the way home and taxi would be in or around 50e

rustedtrumpet · 21-10-2013 05:55AM

Bag of ket 50euro. Second bag of ket (after losing first bag) 50euro. Taxi home because I don't know whats going on. 10 euro.

Last weekend I spent 500. No joke. It's been killing me since

Shenshen · 21-10-2013 08:56AM

Depends - if we're going out for a meal, I would spend €20 - 30 . if it's drinks only maybe around €10 or so.

jester77 · 21-10-2013 09:06AM

A quiet night out without going nuts would be going for a meal around 8 or 9, hit the pubs until 4-5, nice kebab afterwards and in bed by 6.

Between transport, food and beer it usually costs €25-30.

€25-30 including a meal, beer and a kebab?? Where the hell are you drinking that I'm not

LoonyLovegood · 21-10-2013 09:10AM

Haven't gone out in ages, just haven't been bothered really. I've managed nights out on €15 here, including a taxi home.

A decent Greek/Italian/Vietnamese - €7-€9
Kebab - €3
Transport - €0, monthly work ticket covers public transport
Beer - 7-8 beers @ €2-€3 depending on pub

lukesmom · 21-10-2013 09:22AM

I don't drink so I'm the designated driver . Himself drinks so probably spends €50.

21-10-2013 09:46AM

Standard night out about 60 to 100 euro, exact amount would depend on of it was straight to the pub or if there was a few before hand, if a hipflask happened to find its way into my pocket for the night club, if a taxi is required (rare enough as I can walk home usually)

An all day session would be more costly at least 100 euro between drinks and a food a few times throughout the day.

Guinness is about e7.50 a pint here, so multiply that by 5-7 depending on what time I arrive. about 6 for travel on the monorail on top of that.

If it's all you can drink in a more typical Japanese place, then about 15-30 for the night. Depending on the place, thay may or may not include food.

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 21-10-2013 11:38AM

Spent 50 on Saturday night all in. I used to spend way more but now I leave my bank card at home and only bring 50. Its the only way to keep some sort of order on my finances.

Ahhhhh its grand · 21-10-2013 11:57AM

Dinner for 4 last night, including about 4 or 5 beers each = 30 euro. And that was even too much food for us to eat.

Ya'll need to come to China

ForeverYoungx · 21-10-2013 11:58AM

drinks to have in the house before i go - 15
return bus ticket - 25
nightclub fee - 10
cloakroom - 4
drinks - 50ish

Where do people get that much money to spend?

The secret is spending nothing for the rest of the week.

Well its not so much a secret, you simply have nothing left to spend for the rest of the week... :V

Mysteriouschic · 21-10-2013 01:38PM

30-40 I usually stick to the cheap places with drink offers.

Depends on how much you earn, your outgoings and if you are saving money etc. I don't earn that much at the moment as I just have a postgraduate stipend for income (and an odd few bob from my parents etc if I've a big expense) and I can manage a proper night out almost every week with at least another trip or two to the pub for a few pints without ending up in my overdraft, I don't save anything though. When you consider I have friends getting from 50% more to 150% more into their hand every month than I do then they have even more disposable income and can comfortably afford to spend on nights out even if they have higher outgoings in other areas also.

Elessar · 21-10-2013 02:01PM

€20 a week give or take a few...
1 round for the night with the lads €15
McDonalds on the way home €5-7

As you can see we don't drink much (maybe 3 pints each on a night out) and then get a cheap burger and chips. We are within walking distance of home so no taxis. Don't like nightclubs so we don't use them.

Though we started getting dinner in the pub now so...€30 maybe for the week.

if I can bear listening to drunken people talk shyte I may make it a long term thing

There's your problem, right there. It doesn't work.
Without alcohol 'the craic' gets exposed pretty quickly for what it is. The same drunken stupid hollow shyte talk that went on the last time and the time before that etc...
With alcohol if course it's hilarious and a great night out

They're all drug dealers.

On a side note - I hate the phrase pre-drinking.

It's not pre-drinking because you're actually drinking. It's just drinking.

If you work from home in the mornings and then go to the office in the afternoon you don't call what you do in the morning pre-working.

Plazaman · 21-10-2013 02:21PM

Usually costs me an arm and then I'll throw in the leg if it's the weekend or going to a nightclub.

I am running out of them quick though.

0ph0rce0 · 21-10-2013 02:23PM

When i used to go to town always say gonna spend 50-100

But never spent any less than 300-400, sometimes more.

Few in the local 100-150

Makes you sick when you wake up the next day

wretcheddomain · 21-10-2013 02:32PM

Quite amazing how people on this thread almost proudly announce they spend around €50-€100 on a single night and many of these will be the same people on other AH threads saying nobody has any extra money in the till at the end of the week.

Or pre-eat before you go to dinner. Stupid phrase needs to die.

Well plenty of people pre-eat before their dinner, its called a starter

The phrase pre-drinking makes perfect sense, it's drinking before drinking in the pub, or a "drinking starter" so to speak. How else would you put it.

And what do you do with the starter? You eat it. Therefore you are already eating and the prefix 'pre' is being used incorrectly.

Pre-pubbing would make more sense.

Pre-drinking would imply that the drinking has not started yet, but it has. Therefore it doesn't make perfect sense at all.

21-10-2013 02:44PM

I agree, it makes no sense at all

beakerjoe · 21-10-2013 02:46PM

Usually 80-100.

Pre drinking never saves me money, i just drink more. Whenever i Pre Drink, mess times are inevitable. I just get nicely drunk before i go out and spend the same amount I would without pre drinking. Oh and end up in a worse state, usually not remembering parts of the night.

Wouldnt change it for the world though
