How much money do you spend on a night out?

Are you all pretending to be from TOWIE or something?
Beer costs £3.20 in my (London) local, so if you have six you've still got change for a bag of crisps from £20. If I spent £100 I'd probably have a respiratory arrest unless there was a nice meal in there somewhere!
We tend to go to Red/pizza express, cocktail to start, dinner, bottle of wine and tip £100 squids.Beer costs £3.20 in my (London) local, so if you have six you've still got change for a bag of crisps from £20.

Anywhere between £30 for a couple of rounds down the pub to £250+ for a proper night out with meal, club etc.
Don't object to either.
Waht concerns me is your measure of whether it's a good night or not is whether you pulled or not. Very strange!
Probably as its going to cost him another £50 for an hookerDon't object to either.

Wow I'm clearly just far too sensible or tight.
haha, that's just what I was thinking!!It is pretty gross how much you can blow on a night out and not even think about it but when it comes to buying new clothes etc. its always 'not sure I can afford that'
I'm afraid I might sound cynical or just plain rude here but I get the impression some posters think the amount they've spent somehow qualifies how good a time they've had.

For the two of us, here in HKG, if we go for a nice meal, £100--£350, then if we go for a few wines after, in a nice cocktail bar, similar again, depending on the venue. So, £200-£700+. Happens about once a month.
We we go out with friends, the eating part will do undoubtedly be less formal, probably £50-£80, and the boozers will generally be more 'divey' and lively than if its just the two of us, and it is often possible to follow happy hours until 5AM. Still, £3.50-£5.00 during HH, 5-10 otherwise. £150-£300 all in. Also happens about once a month. Sometimes twice.
There is still no compelling reason to be more responsible.

Usually between £40-200, depending on if its just a couple of hours in a pub or a big meal and on it till the early hours.
+ £££ if the casino is involved
+ £££ if it turns into jumping in the car and making it a night in Edinburgh or Newcastle as Aberdeen gets a bit boring sometimes.

Presumably we're talking families or couples then? You could do better than pizza for £50 a plate.HaHa no, £100 a head and just us girlies; the husbands then turn up to pick us up before one bright spark (usually me)says lets go hit a club and party, PARTY!!!!
Suggesting it was just a bottle of wine was misleading; I meant a bottle each, before mains
Probably £50-60, of which £20-30 is the taxi home.
A good night is all about the people, and emphatically not about the money/location/amount of booze consumed.
I tend not to get completely bladdered, so I normally know how much I've spent, and make rational choices to spend it (or not).
