    How much do you usually drink on a night out? How drunk would you get?

    I would usually have about 6 cans of Tuburg pre-drinking then maybe about 3-4 pints of Heineken and about 2-3 Jager/Ice bombs in the club. Usually get pretty tanked up on a night out.

    How much money do I have going out???

    If I have 50 In my Pocket I will drink it.

    If I have 150, it will be spent on Drink.

    So give me a monetary limit!!

    Last night I had out (last week):

    6 cans
    1 shot Jagermeister
    9 Pints Heineken
    5 shots Aftershock Red
    and to top it all off:

    An entire pitcher of vodka and red bull to myself. :( I don't think I need to explain how that shopping list feels the next morning.

    Dont know why but seem to be able to drink more at home.
    Went to the pub last night had about 8-10 pints and was pissed,came home spouting ****e,dont know how much i spent but had a very light pocket this morning.
    If i was to go into the city for a night out with herself(very rare these days)fags(only i smoke)drink,food and taxi there and back i would spend 150-200,not really worth it but you have to splash out from time to time.

    Whatever money I bring out I will definitely spend it all on booze.

    Had our class party the last night.

    Had 3/4 bottle of Jameson (the 700ml bottle)
    6 more Jamesons in pub
    1 Bulmers
    3 Sex-On-The-Beach
    3 shots of something green
    Possibly one or two other drinks but don't remember.

    I was sensible enough to know I had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than usual and sent myself home in a taxi!
    My own fault for mixing all the drinks. Was not healthy!
    In future I will stick to the plain Jameson and Coke. No fancy other crap:cool:

    Couldnt agree more.
    When you wake up feeling like crap and lose a day to drink its just not worth it! I can think of better ways to waste my cash.

    Bloody hell. I always thought the papers were exaggerating the binge drinking angle, but apparently not.

    OP - your "usual" adds up to about 25 units in a single night.
    DarkJager, your total comes to over 40 units in a night.

    The suggested "safe" amount is 3-4 units on any given day.

    People tend to binge drink until their mid 20's and after that they cut back. You do get the occasional over-27 moron who spends half their weekly pay on drink but it's uncommon.

    Last time I drank (too long ago - cursed exams :mad:) I had a bottle of wine and 8 pints of guinness. I thoroughly enjoyed the night. However the poo the next day was, well, shameful.

    So technically, if your body gets rid of roughly 1 unit of alcohol per hour, I really should not be driving until Tuesday morning??? :confused::confused::D

    Damn....that unit calculator on the drinkaware website is cool.

    Results are not....last "big" night (say 1 or 2 times a year) works out at 52 units and thats just the bits I remember there was probably more

    Yuh-huh. Throw us over your car keys there, I'll look after the car for you.

    Edit: BTW, the safe amount I mentioned there was what's safe for your body - not your driving skills :)

    going on last nights performance it was

    half bottle of wine
    13 pints of heineken.usually wouldnt have this amount, only reason i know the number is because all 3 of us bought 4 rounds and i had another in the club.
    3 vodkas.round each.
    2 tequilas.

    that wouldnt be the norm but last night was a big one starting at 5 yesterday evening.
    a normal night in a pub would be 8/9 pints.if i go to a club its that plus shots and a few doubles.

    Last night out had

    Shoulder of vodka (at home)
    Half a bottle of wine (at friends house)
    1 Jamesons (in pub - FREE!)
    4 pints heinaken (in pub)
    3 vodka and coke (in club)
    1 tequila

    I resent the fact that as a female I have a lower recommended alcohol intake. :D

    But that said, that was an unusual night...and I wouldn't mix drinks like that. Usually stick to the pints and have 6/7 in pub and a few shots/vodkas in the club.

    ara come of it folks, there's a lot of **** written here at the mo

    If someone can say 12 pints, firstly they're doing fantastically well for even remembering the amount of pints they consumed and secondly, if you remember every other individual drink after that you're a bull****ter...

    We all have day long binges where god knows what you're had but making a list of all the drinks the next day is a conversation I haven't seen anyone have seriously since they were a teen.

    Any pukes with the previous tall orders??
