Is £40 your lot for drinks at the bar/club (and a kebab on the way home at 4 a.m.) or are you the sort of person who splashes out (whether you can actually afford to or not)?

[parmnion]

80 to 150

[Niamh.]

Depends, I'm out tonight but I'm going to drive so i probably won't spend much at all, maybe €20 at a push. But I'm also out tomorrow night for food and drinks and probably will end up getting a taxi home so that might be close to €100

[LeatherTrumpet]

I dont go on nights out so £0 for me

I was at the football last night and spent £20 or so

[Alf]

I'm usually too pissed to count.

[glib]

£0 as I don’t go out, it’s a waste of money and foolish. Just have a few drinks at home with mates, quiz, watch a show. Put your OWN music on.

[Cherie]

Depends really

[UserSince2005]

America is so ****ing expensive, i couldnt believe it when i arrived, i thought london was bad. but at least you can have a good night and dont have to worry about some terrorist attacking you for fun.

[MTVN]

Don't track it now because I think I'd be horrified lol but probably £100 on an average night out, trouble is these days it normally includes a meal and it starts in a pub in the late afternoon/early evening instead of drinking round someone's house like in my teens/early 20s

Where in America?

I remember nights out in London after bonus was paid and we all ended up in Stringfellows

waking up the next day and realising you had done £300 just in there (the 90s)

horrific

Now i just get horrified when I pass a garage and see the price of fuel

People are different.

[bitontheslide]

i don't go out often, but when i do, i tend to splurge

Young people are going out to find a mate to procreate, its an innate desire, once that is done in life you are more inclined to stay home and entertain. also when you get older you realise that paying silly prices for alcohol you can buy 5 times cheaper from a supermarket makes more sense.

I dont regret going out when young

People are the same, ages and life-stages are different

And there are people who enjoy clubbing well into their 30s and introverted young people who were naturally never particularly about the club scene (and hook up potential partners online more than anything) but still don’t mind a decent night out every now and then. It’s just what people need and what people want and that’s more of a case of personality than age.

Yes i also agree with that

[AnnieK]

Totally depends on what I'm doing and where I'm going. Could be a quick drink so £20-£30 or a big night I tend not total it up as the fear and shame sets in
Quite happy staying home though too

[rusticgal]

Nights out for us is a meal with a couple of drinks…normally coming in under 75.00. If I’m out for a meal with my girlfriends…35-40.

[Vicky.]

100 ish. Depends on the night and if we go to someones afterwards

Depends where I go out. If I was local then probably £60-£80.

Went out in London Friday night and I spent nearly £180

That could’ve gone to a mental health charity.

[Oliver_W]

I'm not much of a drinker, so I'm a light weight. My friends and I usually predrink anyway to save money I usually have like, a bottle of vodka and cola before going out, and then a token beer occasionally once out and the odd entrance fee, if that's the case.

Never more than 20-30.

[Kizzy]

I don't drink so usually have a meal nowhere posh so under £50.
