I'm curious as to how much people spend when they hit the clubs/bars.
How much do you spend usually including entries, pre-drinks, drinks, taxis, food?
I find it crazy when people tell me they spend over $120 - $150
I usually spend about $40 all up. but i'm cheap and always drink a shit load before going out. and always having a lift home helps.

I'll buy a handle of Captain for like 30 bucks, that'll last maybe a couple weekends depending on how shitty my week was. I'll spend the night at a friend's dorm after partying walking distance from campus.
I've gone through a gallon of Captain Morgan in a night(albeit with two friends), shit does not last.

that's probably one of the reasons, but i don't think any of the bars charge cover around here really.

a night at a party usually costs me like 35-40$ (24 pack is 35$ over here)
a night at a bar might cost me around 120$
I only go to places with drink specials. I'm not rich and don't want to pay $8 for a Corona.

The most I've ever spent is probably $300-$400, but that's because Miami/Atlantic City/New York can be absurdly expensive. I'd say average is $30-$50.

It depends...back at school I would go out for free some nights just because of hookups. A night out in the suburbs is like anywhere from $15-$60 tops...some of my friends go to the city all the time and drop like $100 a night on a regular basis, but that's fucking ridiculous.

$7-8 for beers and a lot more for shots. Pl;us heavy covers. And sometimes gambling was involved.

it's all about bringing a flask and some gatorade to pound before you enter the bar/club. all you gotta do then is just buy one drink for something to hold and watch yourself get shitty as shit.

I went to a bar last summer in Wildwood, NJ, where some douche bought a round of Ketel One shots for everyone sitting down at the bar, twice. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to enjoy both and there had to be at least 70 people sitting down, so the guy must have spent between $550 and $700 on those shots alone. Good times.

20ish, never over 50 unless I'm buying drinks for people (read:girl).

being that I'm within walking distance of the bars that we frequent,
I can get away with bringing around $15. that's assuming we stay at one place

shitty town bar has no specials, but 4$ for a gin and tonic = a 20$ night
buying rounds? 60+

I spend anywhere from $50-$120 tops. When I go to net working parties though it's like 200. I like to go big.

fuck that.
PBR for $1. Sparks for $2.
not only that. i never pay usually. hahaha.
if you gotta spend $200 or more to fucking show you've got money or to go "big", that's just a waste.
if yr a young, college student or just a young kid in general, the rule of thumb is you get wasted at yr house 'cause it's cheap, then you go ride yr bike to wherever, drink a bit more for really cheap and dance and socialize.
pfffft. $200.
i wouldn't ever spend more than $20 probably. that's just not worth it.
plus you can go to big dance parties for like $20 bucks and have free drinks until 1 in the morning.
this is how philly works. hence, this is how i work.

If I'm going out to the bars, I'd be pregaming first and only get a few drinks while out. So maybe... $40-50?

Well tonight, Im going out to eat then a football game.
Im spending like 5 bucks on dinner, game is free because Im on yearbook, and then I might get a drink so it would be like a dollar. So, at the most, I will not spend more than 20 dollars.

Haha, well if ya abuse it, ya lose it.
If I really wanted to, I could bum cigarettes, drinks, hits, rides, and what have you throughout the entire night for a grand total of $0. But nobody likes a moocher. I usually spend about 10 bucks.

At school $100 would get me through like 4 nights of drinking with all the specials and everything. But now, I easily spend over $100 a night, it sucks.
alot of people spend hundreds here on clubs and bottles, but for the kids like me that cant afford that a night can be anywhere from 5 bucks for a house party to 15 just for cover at nice clubs. tonight i spent 25 and went to a jazz club and just had a drink and dessert
