Around £15 per day. Which was just coming out of savings, all my money did/does go on alcohol, i've wore the same clothes for 3 years. I bet the regulars in my local shop get deja vu everytime they see me.

Probably around $120/ week. But that's not counting stupid purchases I made when I was drunk.

Average $9 bottle of wine five times per week, plus an occasional pint of bourbon at $16then add in the extra bottles for special nights and the bar nights (3-4 times per month).... holy crap, that is a LOT more money than I thought I was spending.

Forgot to add, I also buy cannabis. I haven't bought any in a long time, but there was a while I was spending between $40 and $120 per month on that in addition to the booze. Jeez.

Between my husband and I, I would say 30-40 a week and for us that is ALOT because we don't have 40 bucks to be wasting on that. Imagine all the things I could have done with that 30-40 bucks we wasted every week just to get wasted. What a shame!

If we added in bars it could be 60 bucks a week or more.

I spent about $150 a week. I didn't eat much, so in my alcoholic mind I figured the expense was ok because I'd have spent it on groceries otherwise..... Crazy.

That would be me. Some clothes came about a week ago which I had no recollection of ordering from one of those high end deal sites. The clothes were hideous and non-refundable. One thing that happened while I was always drunk is I knew I was out of shape, overweight and just horrible looking. I really didn't buy any clothing or anything when I used to be a borderline shopaholoic. so i guess I saved some money that way.

Probably about $250-$300 a month. And I didn't even care at the time.

I spent anywhere between $35-100/week on my drinking. It was closer to $60/week in the end. It makes me sick to think about how much I spent in a year.

Between my husband and me, about $450 a month. We could have done something much better with all that money - like travel the world!
