How much do you usually manage to get through on a night out?

im free baby

oh wait, i meant

on a weekend i have maybe 7-9 cans of beer in the house (im getting old, ive learnt not to push it :P)
if i go out i normally have maybe 7-9 pints (i normally get a couple bought me off mi mates cos im popular :P errrrrrrm dont see em often, so even if i say no i still manage to get em bought)

My OH jokes about me being a cheap date- normally I don't drink, so he buys me two soft drinks and I drive us about meaning that he avoids paying for taxis.

When I do drink then it takes me 3 or 4 evenings to drink a bottle of wine and even then it makes me fall asleep every time. For this reason I don't drink when I'm away from the comfort and safety of my recliner ;)

It depends on where I go. If its to a decent pub I can drink 7 - 8 pints in an evening session. If I travel into the city centre, with not a great choice of real ale (bitter), queuing at the bar, expensive prices etc I drink a lot less.

These days I don't enjoy getting out of my head. Maybe I'm getting too old, at 38?

yeah, us over 30s tend to get worse hangovers (if i have over 9 pints i can get a hangover for 2 days :( )

I'm cheap as anything, even at Town prices I can make a tenner last me all night in most Pubs, as I only drink 3 Pints at the most.

I don`t even manage a tenner. you don`t realise how difficult I`m finding typing at the minute!:hihi:

It wouldn't take much to make me get drunk. I hardly ever drink and don't really see the appeal. Give me a glass of cola any day.

I usually have a couple of bottles of wine at the weekends and spend most of the time giving a pretty good rendition of Daniel Day Lewis in "My Left Foot" when I'm on the pc.

If I'm downloading and its above %70, I'll sit there staring at the counter, shouting "SEED YOU XXXXXXXXXXXX" and trying to work out a complex algorythm in relation to the speed of the download and it's fluctuations. This can last till morning, when the wife brings up a bacon buttie and the divorce papers.

Worse thing is, I'm usually downloading something naff for the kids, like Peppa the Pig. And no, that's not a euthamistic porn title. Though saying that . . .

I very rarely drink these days so my tolerance is near non-existent. My family laugh as it takes only one or two sherries or martinis and I'm giggly.
None of the family drink much, we never go to a pub, so we only drink if out for a meal or at home playing cards or games which can get quite hilariously out of control.

So, yes I suppose I'm very cheap (and cheerful).

yeah, I`m writing crap on jabbers and everyone elses at the min! lol

I'm either extremely cheap in that my preferred non alcoholic drink is soda and lime and I'll be driving or extremely expensive in that I like cocktails and jack daniels.
Wine I'll normally drink something around the £4-5 mark in the house but don't drink all the time...

I take £50 out and usually come home with some change depending what I'm drinking, this includes taxi.
I am a bit of a ladette when it comes to drinking though, it must be the Irish in me.

I was falling asleep on the sofa, and in bed by 11.(lightweight):hihi:

I'm amazed that there are people who can drink over 9 pints of anything in one evening and only suffer from a hangover. My kidneys and bladder couldn't cope with it, let alone my head.

so whos got a cheap hangover then?
i havent :) only had about 7 cans tho (was busy doing stuff so drank slower)

I still don`t know what you phoned up for?? lol

If we go out for a meal, I never drink, cos I am always driving, but in the house, we have a bottle of red wine on a sunday - and the half bottle knocks me out! I have to go to bed for a sleep:hihi:

I don't drink much at any other time, but it only takes 1 or 2 gin and tonics to get me a bit tipsy!

Don't get hangovers anymore - had a gallon last night and feel as fit as a fiddle.

How much do you usually manage to get through on a night out?

Oh. In comparison I suppose I would rank as high maintenance. On an average week I eat out on 4 weekday lunchtimes. Nothing extravagant but with drinks it probably adds up to around £40 per week.

Weekday evenings we either stay in and have a bottle of wine with a meal or eat out (1 or 2 evenings) and do the same.

We rarely stay in at weekends and so Friday night would be either a couple of small beers or a couple of glasses of wine, followed by a couple of malt whiskies at home.
Saturday night is usually eating out with the OH. Perhaps my share would be £20/£25 in drinks and food and perhaps another glass or two of whisky at home..

Sunday is often a sandwich and a glass or two of beer. Sunday evening a roast and a bottle of wine at home.

It frightens me to add up the units.

Today is a pretty typical Sunday. A cycle along the 5 weirs calling at 2 pubs for refreshment. I am just having a quick Campari and soda before I start the Sunday Dinner.

I drink an expensive bottle of red every night, I'm sure it will kill me in the end but so what, life is good during the process!

When i used to go out drinking more-or-less every weekend, it'd cost a fortune cos i really could take my drink, now, give me 2/3 vodkas and i'm nearly gone :hihi:

On a night out with the girls i normally spend on average about £30. However, it can vary between £20 and £40, but i don't know how :huh:

What you spend now you save in hair dye and false teeth later.:hihi:

I've gone out with £50 on a number of occasions and taken more out of the cash machine well before the end of the night.

Although on Friday - 2 pints of cider, 2 cocktails and a shot was more than enough for me.

That Government advert which shows the number of units per glass and the amount that can be drunk during the week is really depressing. I have to sink a bottle of red every time I see it :D

I only have to sniff the bottle and I'm gone :hihi:

I wish I could be cheap, but often than not I end up spending a small fortune. Maybe the idea of keeping my cash card at home and taking out a specific amount might solve that problem.

Thats OK if you know in advance what you'll be drinking and how much it will cost. It also helps if you avoid paying in rounds

I am with you there wendy. If they don't want you to drink it, why do they make it taste so nice?:hihi:

Anyhow, I might be having to give it up before too long.:(

Thats OK if you know in advance what you'll be drinking and how much it will cost. It also helps if you avoid paying in rounds

This is definitely true of paying in rounds, I always spend much less when I'm in rounds of 2/3 as opposed to 5/6.

Yes, rounds are the killer. I am sure people ask for the more expensive drinks when I'm getting them in :suspect:

I am on to everyone. Fortunately, I dont often buy rounds so it's not all that bad.

Aw come on, I was drinking jugs of tequila all night, regardless of who was buying it for me.:D

I know your obsession with jugs and pans. This just goes to show the extent of that obsession.
