    Lot of places near me don't do " council lager" or if they do it's often one I don't like.

    So I mainly drink St Miguel or Peroni which is around £6.00 to £6.50 a pint.

    Although my local ironicly called "The Bear" give me a 10% discount. So a Peroni there drops from £6.20 to £5.58.

    Not been out in so long I’m genuinely scared to go and find out. Hearing some horror stories.

    My local football team is a fiver a pint. That includes peroni, wife beater, Guinness or Corona. Sometimes the local does okay prices on fullers stuff but non fullers stuff is 6 quid or more.

    I honestly don't even know how much a pint is and been drinking for years! Couldn't tell you what a pint, a vodka, a whiskey, a shot or anything else I've drink costs when out. I just buy a drink and put the change in my pocket or leave on the bar untill next drink if I'm sitting at the bar.

    Although in saying that, I know how much a venom costs in glasgow after buying a round of them, 8 and 12 came to 80quid and 120quid and was like *.

    With that said, been aff it since 20th Dec. Think this is the longest I've been aff it ever! Going to try and do a full year aff it and reacess after the year wether I want to go on it ever again. Been * up my life with it again, that and that other * and blowing ridiculous amounts of coin on both so time to start wising up again.

    I'd * love a pint of Guinness thou :60::35:

    Aye its the money we spend on it that really hits home. Like yourself I couldnt tell you the price of a pint really....like a standard price. At Christmas me and 2 of the guys went to the pub after work and I do know that it was a kick in the baws off of a tenner for 2 pints of that Madri lager. I was thinking......I'd get 10 can of stella for a tenner and I could just be sitting on ma couch. The pub isnae ma scene anymore. It used to be. Big style. But not now. Too many arseholes and too easy to get in bother with the young team etc and then your waking up in a polis cell for nae reason other than you decided to go out to the boozer.

    I love a drink.

    Dont quit drinking completely..........................or you'll die of dehydration

    I like a cider. Although I need to take an anti-acid tablet if im on the cider. Just to stop the burning in the my insides!

    That Westons in the business when it comes to cider. They have loads of different kinds.

    Whats weird is....I get a beer belly more easily drinking cider than I do beer. But within a couple of days its gone again as my job is like the training scene from Rocky 4 and it is not possible to put on weight

    I drink a lot of that glass bottle one that Westons make..........its like 8.2% or thereabouts. You can get it in most supermarkets. It can give you a filthy hangover but. It tastes nice at the time however
