Who can afford to drink out these days?

    I think this when I see the cost of pints, and yet practically every pub I go to is so rammed it's frequently difficult to find a seat unless you go early. Same with restaurants.

    Apparently a lot of people can afford it

    I definitely couldn't. It was like £70 minimum to have a good night! And that's only sticking to pints, and not counting cigs or the inevitable kebab or chicken for supper! That three or four times a week is basically a grand a month. Ridiculous money.

    Not buying cigarettes with almost certainly cut the price, they are by far the most expensive thing on that list. Honestly it's probably cheaper to have a cocaine addiction. Which I also don't recommend by the way.

    Zone 4, London - £2 ales, £4 lagers, loads of families out on a Friday/Saturday night with their kids.

    Meals are £15-20 a head though, granted - but enough people just buy a couple of packet of crisps and spread them around the table
