I seldom go out for a variety of reasons. I am not a big drinker, but I enjoy a glass or two of wine of an evening some weekends. I don't buy into the whole 'you've a problem with alcohol if you drink at home on your own'. It's not me anyway.

Alcohol is alcohol wherever it's consumed.

'It' doesn't know if it is being consumed in a pub or on the couch grin

Going out is expensive, especially if you're talking about taxis as well.

It's unreal expensive. We (friends/sisters and I) would usually taxi in/home, end up going to the club and then the obligatory Supermac's before going home. In the past I've spent close to €100 on a night out, on a few occasions, more if we went for a meal before going for drinks.. It's mad!!! Nothing to show for it the next day bar a hangover and an empty purse!

I will often have a couple of cans at the weekend watching a good movie, a trip to the pub is only an occasional thing, it is just too bloody expensive going out every weekend, I would rather save my money for a damn good holiday then give it over too a publican.
