How much do you drink in a night out?

Hey i was wondering what the average number of drinks you would have in a night, in terms of units. I was wondering if anybody drinks anything interesting or know's any interesting drinking games aswell.

1 shot of vodka = 1 unit
1 normal shot = 1 unit
1 bottle of alchopop = 1.4 units
1 pint = 2 units (variable)

I'm also interested in what non-drinkers usually have, but i don't really care about why they don't drink.
Thanks :smile:

I usually start out on vodka and orange. Either doubles or triples.

Then I'm on shots most of the night.

about 20 or something according to that. :s
On average night about 20... mostly Jack or Vodka.

Though on Monday I had (at a guess) around 35 units and puked up most of my vital organs at about 3am. Completely idiotic to be honest, sort of scared myself :frown:
usually a couple of malibu and cokes (doubles) and not much else... im not a big drinker, never have been

So how much do you lot normally spend then? It would be quite interesting to see how much more certain groups of people (men) pay more than other groups of people (women). :P

It depends what im doing- if im just going to the pub to meet and chat with a few friends, then id have about 2-5 units, if im going to a big party it will be more. it also depends on how long im out for- if i go out at 8 and stay out till 2 am then ill drink far more than i would if i go out between 9 and 11.

0 units. In my entire life. I bloody detest alcohol.
Really depends on the night out/bank balance.
I tend to drink G&Ts or V&Ts, and I'll either stick to that or move onto shots. Or drink wine all evening. But I don't mix wine and spirits :/

I drink too much really, about 5 pints of lager a night and then usually some spirits. I went through a stage of drinking bottles of vodka neat ( bout half a full size bottle) then one day took it too far and now been put off drinking it neat FOREVER. I must spend bout 20-30 quid a month on alcohol, depends how many parties there are.
about 5 or 6 pints will get me hammered. most i ever drank was about 10 and i was WASTED beyond belief, could still walk though!
but if i'm just going for a quiet drink in the pub- 2 or 3 pints/glasses of wine. it really depends on the type of night out.
i'm trying to stick to gin and slimline tonic now though as i hope it will reduce my little beer belly.

i'd say about 10-15 units in an average night out clubbing

actually, i tell a lie, we counted it up once. the most i ever drank in a day was over 37 units. but that was on holiday in prague... we started off with a few beers at lunch time and progressed untill 4 am, it included shots, cocktails and beer. i didnt really feel that pissed by the end of it. still went sightseeing the next day!!!

you should. It gets you shitfaced proper quick.

Avg night out I'd say:

3 pints of fosters/carling/depends on cash so maybe stella
5 double jd+cokes
after that, depends on the mood, maybe move onto sambucas/vodka

I'd say thats what around 14-16 units?

3/4 pints of Fosters is all it takes for me. Anymore and im really not with it
When Im on a 'proper night out' I usualy have about
5 or so pints of Stella (a warm up in a local pub)
5 triple JD's (straight)
3-5 single other spirits
and I spend what money I have left on bottles of larger
so about 30+ units I guess, God thats a lot realy isnt it :blushing:
