Pub - Who can still afford it?

Who on this forum can still afford to go out to the pub on a regular basis at the weekend. I just can't afford it anymore. It's that long I can't remember when I've gone out to the pub at the weekend. Up until about February I used to go every weekend. I just can't afford it. I'm sat in my house tonight with a four pack of Holston Pills feeling unbelievably depressed. The same old thing every week. I'm going to the pub on Sunday to watch the United game, but I can't afford to drink alcohol in there, I'll be drinking pints of Blackcurrant for 50p a go. Alcohol prices in pubs are just ridiculous at the minute. It's £3 a pint everywhere where I live. Sorry to moan, I just needed to get it all off my chest.

Can you really get that?
Cool!

It is actually good stuff believe it or not.

I can.
Draught beer seems good value at £3. But large glasses of wine at (about) £6 can get expensive.

I drink lime soda and look sad so everyone thinks its because I'm a recovering alcoholic. (Sometimes this combo costs less than 50p a pint but some sods charge 2 squids)

Does any one remember the old student think of the prepub drinks lasting longer and longer.

Wetherspoons always have a good deals, no music and loads of grumpy old men.

I'm sorry I put this thread up. I hate to seem like a moaning bastard. I'm just going to put an episode of Dad's Army on now and no doubt when I return to this forum in half an hour, I'll be as happy as larry.

Not as happy as Laurie - I hope.

Don't worry Jack, I'm with ya. I used to love going to the pub, used to go 2-3 times a week.

Initially the smoking ban helped me cut down on my drinking and then the recession pretty much killed it off completely.

So hurrah for the Labour Governmnent, they've helped me cut down on my smoking and drinking and all it cost was my job, my home and my immediate future.

Wizard!

Feeling better now after my episode of Dad's Army. Sorry for moaning.

Can you learn to keep it down when you're masturbating to Dad's Army in future?

That Wilson, 'ey? You would. Right on his posh cock.

Who do you think you're kidding Mr Hitler?

When Jack's giving his cock a thumb.

Don't drink lager. It's overpriced and tastes of piss.

Try some bitter at Wetherspoons like sooty suggests.

They often do one for about £1.20 a pint.

Surely the simplest solution is converting to Islam.

Save money on booze and go to the Mosque instead and steal peoples shoes, then sell them second hand.
I believe that was announced as New Labour's new alcohol policy.

I don't remeber SootyJ mentioning Bitter. (apart from talking about the BBC)

I'll go for a bottle of wine instead to save a bob or two.

That's always an option.
