"Drinking at home is the new drinking in pubs/clubs/bars" ;)

How cheap can you get drinks from the likes of bargain booze? less than 80p a bottle sometimes, no way am I paying £3+ for 1 drink, feck that.

You've obviously never been to Ibiza if your complaining about paying three quid for a drink ..

Although the Slug was traditionally one of the cheaper places to drink in town ..

I see I cant preach to the converted ;) .

Yes, Staying in with a few is the best option :).

What pisses me off is exactly what you say, I once opened a wrong door in a pub, and it was stashed sky high with cash 'n carry bottled booze. Youre right, look in the right places and its well under a quid a bottle, yet they make all the profit on it!

One of my mates went to this horse show thing a few weeks back, he's a bit posh lol, but he was impressed that the drinks werent as expensive as he thought......however, this place was huge, and it was £60+ for the ticket and it cost a tenner to park on the estate. The place was packed, and turned round a lot of punters in the weekend, an estimate of £500,000+ for a weekend!. Not suprised the beer was cheaper than expected! lol.

Theres a few pubs round here who only sell bottles and cans now :eek: ....booze cruize to France anyone? hahaha. I bet they do.

I bet I can blow your minds

£3 for a smirnoff ice is quite cheap in london. Me Timo and Luke when we djed in this poncey club in leicester square with howard from bleedin take that. It was £6 for a bottle of lager and £9 for large jd and coke. Think I spunked all my wages in the first hour. Tis always good to have a litre of white russian in your record bag ;). I reckon I spend 80% of all my expenditure on booze.

they will never make it work a ciggy ban! no chance....my m8 was over in Ireland last month and they have banned all smoking in pubs / bars etc.......the profit loss has hit some bars quite badly and they are now refusing to enforce it......the police have said they will not do anything about it because its really not worth it.... ;) Same thing will happen here i think on a larger scale if they try! :D

whenever i take a bottle of summat out in my bag...i always come home with more money than i started off with! :confused: Every time! :thumbsup:
