How much do you spend on alcohol per week/month

  • In my head I am a teetotaller. In reality I love a glass of wine after work whilst the news is on and I am reading the paper! Then after I have eaten I dont drink a thing. It varies from week to week really. I never (cant afford to) pay more than a fiver for my wine so some of it is pretty revolting. I have also learned not to drink anything over 12.5% as I will have an awful hangover next day. I wish I didnt drink as my guilt complex is now at its highest but I enjoy it -and I dont hurt anyone and you wont see me staggering about the streets on Sky telly or sitting in a gutter completely out of it!!!!! If I get !!!!ed I just fall up my own stairs and thats that!!

    2-3 bottles of wine a month, maybe 1-2 bottles of spirit and year and a crate of lager for parties/ social gatherings a few times a year....probably about £5 on average

    Nothing.

    We've both got health problems & take meds that proscribe alcohol. So, no contest!

    I used to spend about £40 a week on wine for myself. I dont drink anymore (just as well).

  • No idea - drinking at home is in the grocery budget, and drinking out is in the socialising busget :beer:

    I'll move this to the Grocery Shopping board, where you may get more responses.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].
