BRITS GO ON A SPENDER £45bn-a-year splurge on booze and brekkie

PUB-LOVING Brits spend a staggering £45billion on booze and fry-ups.

We like nothing better than going on a bender – with a big breakfast the next morning to recover.

Revellers spend an average £29.70 on a night in the pub and another £10.53 on a fry-up or takeaway to get over it.

That is a combined bill of £40.23, which comes to £2,092 per person per year based on one night out a week.

The UK’s total pub-plus-fry-up bill comes to £45.3billion annually.

The North East is the hangover capital of Britain, says a study.

Partygoers in Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough spend £33.40 on a night out plus £11.48 more on fry-ups and takeaways while recovering the next day.

That’s a total night out and hangover bill of £44.88.

Londoners came second, spending £33.01 on a night out and £11.72 on hangover food – a total of £44.73.

In third place is Scotland with Glasgow and Edinburgh drinkers spending £11.12 to recover from their £32.73 night out.

Researchers from social payments app Circle, which lets pals send and request money, asked 2,000 adults how much their nights out cost.

They used the findings to rank different parts of the UK.

Fourth in the league table is Manchester, where a night out and breakfast costs £42.62.

Wales is fifth on a total of £42.06. The places with the smallest bills were the South West on £32.35 and East Anglia on £32.38.

Jack Collier, European marketing director at Circle, said: “With hangovers costing us an eye-watering two grand a year, you at least need to split the round fairly to avoid losing out even more.

“Although the only way to avoid a hangover the next day is to drink less!”
