I didn't realise what a truly binge-drinking bunch Brits are until moving here though:) The tame drinkers you refer to are about 5 people, but they just don't drink as much as the 5 people we would go out with in the UK, mainly because they smoke weed instead. Of our closest friends one used to be straight-edge and has never been a drinker, and another can't drink because of his epilepsy medication, so i dont think they should be used as examples of the whole nation's drinking habits You've met 5, you've met them all

Around $30-$40 all weekend for food last year.
Every year most of my money goes to food. I don't drink so nothing towards beer. For whatever reason, I never splurge on merch and only end up buying a couple things. Mostly because I don't feel like carrying anything around all day.

If you exclude my 100$ worth of parking tickets, I probably spent around 30$ on food (I just brought a shit ton of oranges with me and mostly ate those in the morning, then didnt eat until night). And I brought and snuck my own booze into all the venues.

At Fest 7 I spent like $800, mostly on tons of records and shirts. Last year, I was sub-$100, but a barely drank and only spent money on food...
I'm thinking this year I'll be around $300 - $500... |

I usually spend 200-300 not including my Fest ticket.
I usually come home with like 10-20 band articles... but I would say half if not more of that money is going to food and beer. There are so many good places to eat it's hard to not want to eat and the fact Fest is super draining... |
