Truthfully, I always prepare to spend at least 40-60 on drinks and maybe a light night nosh--and that's at a cocktail bar I frequent (that's super chill, no loud music but really laid back while still having an aesthetic I love and fabulous drinks), typically. But! If I'm at the bar with some of my guy friends who are still very, very Southern culture, I probably won't pay for anything.
Mmmm love me a Spotted Cow now and then! But seriously, the amount of bars is insane. People think I am joking when I talk about how much we love our alcohol here and then they see how many bars/pubs/clubs you pass driving literally anywhere and then they finally get it! Hahah!Wisconsin has a bar on 3.5 out of 4 corners at almost every intersection.
Spotted Cow is probably my favorite drink when I decide to venture into WI and decide to have a beer.
I think this needs a little more context. What are you referring to as "an average night out"? Drinking, or different activities that we do regularly?
If by drinking, I'm not much of a drinker. Rarely drink at home, and will limit myself to two beers in a social setting as one of my jobs mandates that I not have any kind of alcohol infractions. For me, a two beer tab with tip will be around $20-25USD depending on the high end. If I'm drinking a couple of Miller Lites, it can be $5USD.
As to other activities which constitute as "an average night out". Costs vary greatly depending upon the activity. Free on the low end for a bike ride with friends, to $250USD depending upon what the activity is.
Lately though, my "average night out" of the house has me earning money.
One thing I loveeeeee about living in Wisconsin is we have such a huge "WHOOOO BEER AND BOOZE" mentality (which is actually horrible but also can benefit me) and a lot of my drinks are cheap. We hit a lot of country backwoods bars which makes it even cheaper. I can usually get drunk (my drink of choice is a simple vodka sprite which is usually between $2.50-$4 or Angry Orchard which is like $3.50ish) and spend less than $25 including the tip.
Edit: Okay wait let's say $30-$35 spent because I usually will get bar food at some point, I can't turn down that greasy shitty basket of cheese curds or wings!
Yeah, I meant drinking
If I ever came back from night out with more than what I had when I left, I'd be seriously worrying about what I did haha
Call me lame but my favorite night out is going to the movies. Where I last lived it cost me $10 and I went all the time. Now I've moved the cheapest I can find is $32. The flip

I can't imagine paying that. Only places I could think of those prices would be NYC, LA or the like...
It's ridiculous @ExcellaExe it is one where you can get alcohol. .. but of course that costs more. Looks like I'll only be going to marvel movies and other must sees now!
Do they at least have recliner chairs? Otherwise super lame.
and it is all super lame haha. There are cheaper cinemas but they're like an hour PT away and play indie movies and they're still like $17 (I have no issue with indie movies but my purpose for going to the movies is generally to see something that I can't hire or stream so not my deal).
