Bottle of Rum - DFW pointless thread?

I spent £7 on a half bottle of Morgans yesterday, I drank some of it last night while watching TV and I am having the other half tonight, while playing the wii. With friends both nights. £3.50 per night I get drunk and have a good time. Good money saving considering I used to spend £80 a night on nights out, maybe more depending on taxi fares, how many drinks I bought my friends and so on. £400 a month used to be my paper budget for going out, I never stuck to it, it was always more, hence I am here.
I will be debt free in no time at this rate. I am more annoyed I saw the same bottle of rum for £5.74 today in another shop. Feel like I have been robbed.
I hope this post isnt taken too sarcastically, I hope it shows how you can still have a good time and not spend a fortune.

Challenge for the cheapest night in per person involving alcohol and at least one form of entertainment anyone?

Its looking like there will be enough left for another night as well - if I was on a night out I wouldnt feel near drunk at this time.0

Why do you need to get drunk to have a 'good time'?
It's more of a self analytical question...I'm typing it drunk (took me three attempts). Wonder why we need to...

lol, grey pilgrim, when I think back to my funniest times of my life, alcohol was involved.
Theres this woman at work, retired last year, age 65, says she has never touched a drop, doesnt need alcohol to have a good time. I wonder if she has ever had any fun. She gets the 9 oclock bus home when we go out, even when we do things not involving alcohol for her and everyone else stays out till last bus home at 11.30
