This is why i dont go out unless its a student night.

Apart from the odd birthday or whatever.

Just get pissed before and then only buy a couple of drinks later on.

Why not just take pills instead? So much cheaper, unless your munching 40 a weekend then it gets expensive

Drugs and carryouts ftw

This is why coventry is awesome. Students everywhere so drinks are stupidly cheap in comparison to other places. £1.50 for a pint, 80p for a bottle of stringbow and £2.50 for a double vodka and redbull!

1 litre bottle of Red Rooster, Blue Charge, Emerge, or any other cheap energy drink (£0.80 - £2.00 ish)

1 litre bottle of crappy vodka - £8 - £10?

Drink before hand, buy the odd drink when out. Sorted lol ;)

Lucky for me when i go out i don't pay for any drinks for the first 4 hours ish since i just go into to work and take them for nothing lol

That'll be £4.20 which isn't a massive amount to be honest for a night club. Most decent London clubs are well north of that now.

Pre drinking is great when you're 16, you just look like a twat in your 20s

+1...

Pre-drinkathon is probably more fun that most of the night out since you can actually sit about and have a laugh..

And with one of my mates having a games room, with a pool table, smoke machines, and strobes, it might aswell be a club..

That is cheap, when I was on exchange in Hong Kong it was £10 for a vodka + coke in the LKF bar district! (crazy taxes on alcohol).

haha I know what you mean (living in the student village/hell). No better than at 3am either. thankfully I don't go into hooligan-mode after pre-drinks or night out.

Kind of makes the £3.20 for a Can of Strongbow I pay at the local club seem decent lol. Still we usually go to Wetherspoons and have a couple of pitchers of cocktail each before heading down to the club before they put the price up at Midnight.

Me, Stissy, Nath89 and another went to bristol for a night out about a month ago, ended up in Ramstad is it ? Anyway they wanted £5.50 for a jagabomb ! And £6 for a single JD coke robbing bastards. Luckily took my old man hip flask out and filled it up with JD ha.

Yeah except i don't steal the drinks i just put them through the register under "Staff Drinks"

Funny how some Friday nights the staff get through about £40 worth of ale while working :wacko: ;)

A bar I used to manage had a phrase you had to say when you were asked about the high prices. In 2000 it was one of the most expensive bars in Newcastle a Vodka Redbull was nearly £8, which nowadays is nowt, but was crazy back then. You were trained by the owner to say "Our prices are high to attract a higher class of clientele, if you have a problem with the price you are welcome to leave the bar." I was supprised, I only had one person refuse to pay and leave in a year of working there.
Nowadays I'd rather be at a festival or free party than out on the town, which solves this problem.

Bristol carnage is shit, went to all of them last year and wont be going again. You pay a tenner for the shirt to get entry to bars which wouldnt charge you in the first place, ending up at oceana which would normally cost £4. Then no drink deals anywhere. Just an expensive night out with hundreds of people and massive queues everywhere

Club prices are stupid, bottles are usually £3.50-£5.00

Night out usually costs me £100 if we go to a club etc

What clubs do you go to that only do bottled drinks?

Club I work in, we rarely sell bottles unless it's a student night and it's on a deal.

Prices where I work are like:

Double VRB = £3 (Student) £6.65 (Normal)
VK = £1.80 (Student) £3.65 (Normal)

Pints are like £3.10 all the time.

Double vodka + mixer is £5.65ish.

Not too bad IMO, especially compared with other places.

£1.50 for a double, so you drank 106 shots of vodka?

All by yourself? In one sitting?

Some people get their pants pulled down.

If drinks are as much as the prices mentioned I don't go. I begrudge paying £3.50 for a pint in the nicer pubs, £2.00 in spoons keeps me happy. Though the beer does taste like shit :p.

Rather be at a house though, can be infinitely better.

really? seen as its been voted the best student night several times over! its £10 for 5 clubs seems fair to me as most places are a fiver to get in, its more about the atmosphere i reckon, ive been to two of the carnage nights and was fucking awesome

To be fair on the guy, last time i went to newcastle, i spent 140... Student place was costing 2 quid a double.. dont remember leaving, woke up in the morning and had chicken nuggets from mcdonalds, a few chips, one 20 left, some white powers, and a room key in my wallet..

Im pretty sure i didnt spend 140 on vodka though, i will have bought people drinks, paid for a taxi, allsorts once i was too off my face to realise...

Thats what i mean...he said he spent 80 quid, like as if he spent 80 quid on vodka for himself thats why he was spewing

He would of spent about 30 quid on drinks for himself, maybe 30 on rounds for the boys, and the other 20 quid was probably stolen out his pocket while he lay on the ground spewing his ringer

i have no idea where my money went.. i cant rember a thing mate, all i know is i had £80 that i took out and had £3 left.. I would have though i would have treated the lads to a few rounds. I was buying a fair few cocktails at sillys prices aswell.. Never getting that drunk again, until saturday

Never getting that drunk again, until saturday

I used to say this every Monday

Now i drink like once a month or every 6 weeks, saving a shitload of money its good :y:

When i drink now it's usually at a mates house, no pub, and i'll spend like 60 quid or so over the weekend and it's even gutting wasting just 60 quid...whereas before i spent every penny of my wages every week (£420) on fuck all apart from drink, drugs, fags and a bit petrol for the car

Gimpo tryin to say im tight with my money aswell when i would just let the boys help themselves out of a big bag of gear free of charge, in exchange for some banging banter

Peter_D
21st February 2011, 22:42

How do you all manage to spend that amount on drinks like 8.40 for 2 drinks??

One of the local pubs is a really posh hotel and we used to go in there cos the barmaids were foreign and hot as fuck, it cost £19 or somethin for 7 vodkas, £3.50 for a Kopperberg etc and i thought i was gettin robbed blind at that prices
