Not been out for a long while because of the mini munkys. A chat at work revealed an average night out cost about £100 pounds. Really? I am feeling really old as £50 was a blowout not long ago...
Depends if you are talking about going out for a meal as well, but that sounds very high to me. Maybe they are all including drugs/hookers in that figure?
£100? What the hell are they drinking?
What part of the country ? £100 sounds pretty high to me 🙂
£20, once a month for me. Buys four/five pints and a bag of scratchings in the local. Not fussed by anything more flash or pricey at my age.
I took £30 out (told myself once it was spent I was going home, lolz!) for the last works do, meal and wine payed for plus 5 or so drinks at the various bars before it started getting "shotty", it was awesome opening the online banking the next day to discover I'd debit card'd a further £60 😛
3 day hangover.
The time before (Xmas do) I took £20 out knowing I wouldn't need much money but made the same deal to head home after spending up...came home with £12 😕
3 day hangover.
For a proper night out I'd probably budget £100, I only drink about 3/4 times a year and like to kick the arse out of it!
Twenty quid will get me half a dozen pints and a pizza on the walk home, and leave me with change.
In't the North brilliant?
10-11 quid for a pint here
Probably £40 to £50 with a bit of cheap pub food

My old man was telling me there'd been a kick off at the Working Men's club recently as they'd put the price of a pint up to £1.30 or something equally daft!
pint at the local - £3.13, pint at the bowling club - 40p cheaper.
just go after a monster day on the bike and £15 is more than enough (if flying solo) these days...
village life.
I think it's a sign of getting older when you consider how much it will cost instead of just going along with it. For me buying a single pint at over £5 is tragic when I could buy 4 cans of Stella for less than that. (& might be having a better time at home drinking them by myself)
£20-£100. I've been having too many of the latter recently so this weekend I'm going nowhere. Well, maybe out for a ride.

Is your local Pacha in Ibiza?
It's very unlike me in so many ways, but as a single man when I go out, £200 usually gets pulled out of the cash machine after a pint or two. I become irresponsibly generous on a night out. Don't know why.
That said, I've not been out since I bought [s]this hell-hole [/s] a house.
I am out in June though, in Blackpool. I do not know how this will go. Badly, I suspect.
Blackpool (weekend) is an easy £300er minus "B&B", advice, don't get generous at the strippers!
You can easily spend a £100 just on booze and club entry...beers, shorts, shots adds up pretty quick. Especially if someone is drinking red bull vodka or starts doing silliness like jaggerbombs (actually quite nice).
Add in food and taxis, maybe a spin at the casino / snooker hall / dancing ladies place and you'll easily be spendin £200. Last stag do I went on a chap who was skint, been made redundant was last seen telling all his mates to piss off (for the umpteenth time) as the strip club closed and he bought another round of champagne for the girls...I'm told he isn't allowed out much.
I can't remember, it's been too long 🙁
seriously though, my [i]last[/i] "night out" was an expensive do:
2x tickets for Foo Fighters @ Manchester
1x hotel overnight stay
2x meals in hotel
2x breakfasts
2x Foo Fighters t-shirts
2x gallons of diesel to get there & back
beer (me) & wine (her)

Exactly that 🙂
An all day number is over a £100 easy.
When did red bull with vodka and jaegermiester become expensive? They're usually the ones on deals for those that can't get away from pop
Depends where I guess. I went out in Camden the other week and all in it was probably about £140 (including trains, hostel etc). For a normal night out round here it's about £50-60 with taxis.
Meal for two: £50 up.
If we're both drinking, booze: £50-60 (proper night out in Oxford/Wallingford.)
If we're both drinking, taxi home £10 to £30.
Food is the main variable. Can be over £100 easily.
Evening costs are split though. Or at least we rake turns.
Thursday night pub ride, £20 in the kitty, 4-5 pints and cheesy chips, may need to top up the kitty if we stop for another pint.

That same twenty quid won't buy you 4 pints of shandy in Harrogate. £5.30 a pint in one establishment. Then in my mums local near Huddersfield, a fiver a pint, again for shandy, same price as a full beer.
£100 is about right for going 'out' out, assuming the gentlemans club is given a wide berth. If not, all bets are off.
Ended up in a night club a month ago. I reckon I spent £30 in total. I had far too much to drink (£1 shots in a bar before the club). I got a kebab on the way home too.
That was in Oulton Broad (Lowestoft) though. I expect if I did the same night in Bury St Edmunds or Norwich I'd spend much more.
I know people who can spend £100 in a night. They tend to buy big rounds or move onto expensive shots early on. They also tend to my mates who we worry drink too much......
If you ever go to Oslo or Hafjell bike park it's 12-15 quid for less than a pint. Was thinking of having my stag do there. 'Whose round is it?'

Even at £5 a pint you're not going to spend a £100
Cost of an average night out
Like most things as I stretch the gap away from my 30's, TOO BLOODY MUCH! £100 for a night out is nuts. That's a bit of bling for the bike, or a hefty load of wood to burn. Crap when did I suddenly get old?
Is there such a thing as an average night out? A few pints and a bag of crisp at the local and a fancy meal followed big night with 4am finish at a flash nightclub in a major city and taxi back or bed for the night are poles apart.

Who says I'm just buying beer? Admittedly it won't always be that much, but that's how much I budget for/start the night with.
So give us an idea then what your average night out is.

With taxis, fags and a takeaway at the end of the night I'd be more than happy to only of spent £100!
Hmm! Maybe that's it then as I walk and don't smoke so won't spend anything like a £100 more like £40.
Spent over £100 last time I went out in the wonderful place that is Maidstone. Beer, curry and JD mostly. I was pretty hammered by the end and I quite sure I was receiving drinks from friends because I'd spent all my cash. I didn't use my credit card because, thankfully, I'd forgotten I could.
Does the £100 include a babysitter?
Depends on where and when....
$100 Australian is easy beer is 8-15$ for 2/3 pint chuck in some food and it gets close to £50.
If I go somewhere in the city it can go up further with a taxi in the mix.
Throw in a sit down meal and the £100 mark can be hit.
Get yourselves an ulcer... You can remove anything fun from your life.
No drinking, smoking, anything remotely spicy or fatty/greasy , chocolate, caffeine.
Unfashionable part of the borders and its £1.70 for deuchars ipa. Can get pretty hammered and finish off with a chippy for £25. The same sort of night in edinburgh was easily £100+.
Two drinks in Newcastle, cocktail for Mrs Crumb and a 330ml bottle of Peroni, cost me £12.50. The barmaid had a right face on too.
Ok that's not average. Thursday night pub sees me spend a tenner if its my turn to by chips.
it also depends if I find someone to buy a drink for
For me an average good nights is probably £50-60. That includes dinner and drinks afterwards and the bus or a wobbly cycle home. I'm too tight to pay for taxis or go to flash restaurants.
I have been on a couple of £100 nights out this year with folk from work. Going out and drinking is a big thing for some of them and the money soon racks up.
8 drinks over the night at an average of £4 = £36
Some food somewhere = £10
Entry to some club or a hour or so in the casino = at least £40
Taxi home = £20
You know it was a good night when the loose change in your pocket > value extracted from cash machine before drink 1.
