Entry: $10 (can be $20+)
Early beers: $4 pots (say 6?) $24.
Middle beers: $6 bottles of beer (4) $24.
Late night drinks: Vodka, bourbon etc $8 each (5) $40.
Food: Souva ($8)
Cab: Obviously it varies. My average would be about $30?
$136. I would say 15 drinks would be pretty standard if you're out for 6 hours. I also didn't mention shots or shouting friends whilst pissed which would push us over $150. May also go to more than 1 venue?
Yeah, it's pretty hard to stay under $100 in Melbourne. Cover charges are ridiculous. Paying to get into a club so you can spend more money, when did that become accepted?
damo said:By comparison, this past Saturday night for me:
Total - $38.80
- Dinner (homemade seafood laksa) at home before going out (6:30pm) - $0 (already had the gear in the pantry/fridge)
- Tertiary student bus ticket to town (8:15pm) - $2.40
- Five $2 subsidised drinks at a 21st (9:15pm-12:30am) - $10 (skipped the free food, as I wasn't really hungry, and don't usually get into party pies, cakes, chips and fare of that ilk anyway)
- Entry fee at a venue where I was meeting friends (1am)- $5
- Six $2.50 lemonades (got a pair for free because I'm a regular) - $10
- Entry fee at another venue we eventually moved on to (2:45am) - $5
- Two more $2.50 lemonades - $5
- Tertiary student bus ticket home (4:45am) - $2.40
- Hot breakfast (baked beans, eggs, toast, orange juice) at home once returning, before going to bed (6am) - $0 (again, already had the gear in the pantry/fridge)
One of the better nights out I've had in a while as well.
I'm not hanging around at 4am to catch a bus that's for sure, I'm getting a cab.
These days I only drink enough to have a good time. Never write myself off anymore. Too expensive, feel horrible the next day.
Also, what's the deal with getting to the 21st after 9PM? You would've missed the speeches and half the party.
