How much do you spend per month on drugs/alcohol?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Not a big smoker myself, but I pay $15 per 1/4 (pretty decent stuff actually, especially for the price) about every 3 or 4 weeks, about $25/$30 a month for speed, and only about $15 for alcohol. When it comes to booze, I usually get it for free and really don't have to chip in, but I'd rather not be a bitch, so I pitch in now and again. Every now and then I'll go in halfies for something expensive. Grow my own shrooms so pay nothing for that.

So, about $65 a month for me, and I have enough to pass around and get wasted every day, should I so choose. I have more self control than that, however. Not bad, I'd say; not stresssful on my wallet, and not enough that it's overly-taxing on my body.

How about the rest of you?

    Way way too much...

    Can go up to 400~500 quids of smoke per month...

    Less when I am broke as I am switching to cheap hash...

    Still way too much...

    I would spend about £35 a week so I guess £140 a month on going out (pubs and clubs etc) which includes taxi's so I don't know exactly how much of that is on alcohol but I guess its way too much for my little body to handle.

    Between £20 and £40. My taste in drinks is expensive (scotch, gin, vodka and some outrageously expensive cocktails) but I balance it out by not being a big drinker and preferring to buy bottles and have parties with friends instead of bars.

    All depends but most of my money goes on getting fucked and going out.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    all depends with me and who im with and what there taste is but roughly i reckon i must spend easily about 200 quid on smoke and any other drug which tickles my fancy lol alcohol's gonna be about 140 quid a month depending where im going and if im on anything else

    Yeah, even once I turn 21, I'll still stick to partying with friends and buying my own bottles. I know enough party houses to put any bar or club to SHAME, ha ha!:thumb: It's not like I don't meet new people at huge parties...and I don't need to pay no damn cover charge! Fuck...I don't really need to pay ANYTHING at 9 outta 10 parties. And I would just feel wierd not having my own bottle...

    ...party houses all the way!

    Bout £300 a month on boozing
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Probably between £400-£500... mainly on drink and going out.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Nothing. Just thought I'd post to bring the average down :p
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Goodness...that certainly is low! :yes:

    But reading some of the other vast amounts...I mean damn, I felt like I was becoming a moderate spender now that I'll probably be spending more like $40/month on speed alone, but as it turns out I'm just a small fry after all...

    That's some willpower you have randomgirl...either that or you've got the fucking hookup. :lol:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Far too much, over £200 anyway.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I spend about £10 a month on alcohol.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    but then you do have to take into consideration how much you pay for you drink and drugs!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    My cousin spent a grand of his student loan in a week and a half. I salute him! :D

    For me, probably about £100-£150 for alcohol and then maybe an extra £50 a month if I'm dabbling in other substances.

    Drugs and alcohol cost completely different amounts here anyway so comparing yourself with British people is probably not that great a way to gauge yourself.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Well it's still pretty obvious that you guys spend more than I do. :yes: Besides, I got buds that spend $80 a week just on weed to smoke during the week. Then they'll blow another $25 on booze for the weekend, so upwards of $400 a month! Of course the extremity of spending must also be judged by the size of your weekly income...

    ...I mean shit, if I had a higher payiong job, I'd probably spend quite a bit more!

    what sort of dope?
    price obviously varies depending on the type.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    For me it all depends on the on the month. Some months when my friends are out parting and what not all the time, I spend more and the months they dont i normally dont. So lets see the weeks that there is mad parting i usually spend like $20 a month, considering i normally dont get wasted, on alcohol and normally where i go i smoke for FREE!! :D then the months that we arent parting is somewhere around 20 for smoke. so around 20-30 a month for normal months.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    holy man i haven't given much thought to this till just now :chin: $20 every weekend on alcohol, $20 bag every week, $80 a month. oh well money well spent. :yes:
