How much do you spend on Alcohol per week?

[Penny-lope]

After reading some of the posts on a recent thread about weekly outgoings, I was shocked by the figures some people were quoting on their weekly alcohol.

I go to the pub maybe once every few months, and rarely spend more than £30. In the house I probably spend less than £3 a week when averaged out over a month.

Crikey.

I'd have expected you spent a lot more than that in a vain effort to block the pain and forget the loneliness.

Or is Lambrini particularly cheap in your ghetto?

[Penny-lope]

Nah, the anti depressants deal with that...

Not a penny, i am teetotal at the minute

Wow! That's harsh!

I thought it was quite tame for him actually

She knows I'm kidding.

Plus, she lives fecking miles away.

And he knows I'm not going to the BTaP this year

Nothing at the moment - I'm trying to phase it out over time, so I'm alternating months of drinking and not drinking. When I am drinking it'll average to around £5~ a week - my friends and I tend not to go to the pub so much as someone's house, and I won't drink at all of our gatherings, so it's a fair bit cheaper.

Compares rather favourably to a couple of months at uni (shocked to realise this is over a year ago now) where I was spending about £40~ a week on spirits that I was drinking alone.

Ouch!

I spend on average about the same as you. I might have a bottle of cider at home one evening a week or a single malt and then settle into a nice argument on PH.

I chose £30-50 as a rough guide to what it has been up until recently.

[stephen300o]

None.

[jas xjr]

£10 - £20 at home but could be a whole lot more if I go to the pub. Pretty rare these days but it does happen

[okgo]

£30?

you can't go to the pub these days without spending £20+ when pints are pretty much £4.

[Biker's Nemesis]

£30 - £50.

[Hairspray]

When I'm at uni probably about £25 a week, when I'm at home its down to less than a tenner!

[doc3]

I probably spend about £30/week on plonk for at home. Go out 3/4 times a week spending about £30 on average, so I suppose £120ish all in. Blimey, sounds like a lot when you add it all up. Damn you London with your enticing pubs and nightlife.

[drivin_me_nuts]

Probably averages about £5 a week over the year. A bottle of cider every other night maybe. I have a lot of it at home, but it's like a lot of things, when it's within east reach, the desire is not there.

Unless it was a specific bottle of something nice, I don't think I could drink £100 worth of booze a week - not volume wise, as in beer etc. I'd just get bored.

About £650/£700 on booze in the last 2 weeks. Too much??

The next 2 weeks I intend to average down that figure but good intentions don't always pan out

I wondered when you would appear...so you made it all the home then?
