How much do you spend on booze each week?

Most weeks nothing, the odd week £10 or so maybe? I don't really drink at home so it's only when in a pub/restaurant really, and it's rare that I'd have more than two or three pints a night.

my own money = about £15 a week.
if away on business so company money = another £15 to £20 per night away. (av 1 to 2 a week)

stoner- good call.
your assertion that my decision to not drink alcohol is a very personal one is indeed correct, hence my lack of commenting on anyone else's drinking habits as i do believe that it is none of my business. my not drinking is something i feel is morally right for me, and me only.
i used to drink just to get drunk. i was a complete idiot, and had to do something about it, so i quit. it suited my other lifestyle choices too as i was driving my band around quite a lot at the time and it just made everything much simpler to not ever touch alcohol.
only in the last few months have i discovered the delights of alcohol-free wheatbeers, which i am told are very similar in taste to the alcoholic versions (i have no reference point as they weren't readily available in the UK when i did used to drink booze); i just don't feel the need to drink alcoholic drinks because for me, there is plenty of non-alcoholic choice these days and i am quite happy with that.
it's also a lot cheaper this way!Posted 2 years ago # -
About a tenner on average I reckon. Sometimes nil, sometimes a bit more.
Some interesting points from Stoner, and I agree that all alcohol doesn't taste horrible - sometimes you have a craving for a nice cold beer. It's probably like espresso coffee - some people love it, others just don't.
I rarely drink anything other than beer and I don't ever drink to get drunk. Can't think when I last drank any more than 4 pints in one night, and the average is probably 2 pints.

5 - 10 quid i spose, not really a big drinker.
Probably why i'm not a huge porker.

I also detest the chemical crap that is served in many places, but I do enjoy a well brewed pint. I would someday like to test the "original vs alcohol free" theory - get served a few beers, decide if they're non-alcoholic or not, kind of thing...

well i can easily get a selection of good quality non-alcoholic boozes (i.e. no rubbish like kaliber or cobra zero!) and bring them to yours some time...

No money spent on booze here. Just tea and chocolate.

Normally 1 bottle of £4 wine in each shop (for cooking you understand), and perhaps a couple of glasses of malt at home per week (£3) + one night out a month (average night £10 - wife doesn't really drink and we don't stay out late).
I reckon £10 per week should cover it.

how can someone called stoner not come up with my reason for not drinking
Posted 2 years ago # -
Normally £0.00
Over a year, possibly averages at maybe £0.10 per week ?

Looks like quite a long thread this.... actually quite "sobering " when you read everything. For me.. more than I can really afford to throw away, and I'm sure, more than is healthy for my liver. Good job the missus can only drink half a Shandy before she thinks she is drunk...I wish I was the same.

What do you do?
Spennd too much time at work, and then when I am not working:
Biking.
Riding motorcycle.
Maintaining the above.
Training at judo
Reading books/comics/cereal boxes.
Watching dvds/going to the cinema.
Cook for me and the SO.
Getting stuck in the nightmare called commuting.
Visiting friends in the kingdom.
And so and so.
You might find that weird, but there is a life out of drink/drug/smoke/Posted 2 years ago # -
how can someone called stoner not come up with my reason for not drinking
