The average Brit spends £4,000 a year on going out but most attempt to cut costs by walking home with an empty stomach rather than jumping in a taxi with a late-night kebab in hand.
Research released today by MoneySuperMarket reveals that the cost of a night out has increased in most UK cities since 2019.
Pre-pandemic revellers partied harder and for cheaper, going out seven nights every month for an average cost of £61 but nowadays people only go out five times per month and spend £67 each time they do.
If spending had risen in line with inflation, party-goers would be spending nearly £82 on every night out in 2024, showing that people are attempting to cut the costs of socialising.
In an effort to save amid a cost of living crisis, almost three-quarters of clubbers nowadays opt to walk home rather than hopping in a taxi, and 60 per cent avoid getting fast-food on the way.
However there are some sacrifices Brits are not willing to make with more than half choosing cocktails on a night out over more economical drinks like lager.
