Oh god, what a nightmare day. Having to waste my time driving between Home Depot, Walmart, Staples, etc. Spent 2 hours doing that bull****. And what kind of store is closed for lunch for an hour and a half?
How the **** can I get in the Christmas spirit when it's 86 F outside?
*think is the important word here. Clearly university still hasn't matured your mind yet. The average student absolutely does not have a £100/week spending budget. Where the hell do you think that money is coming from? The lowest student loan (which I get) is £3300/year, that all gets eaten up by rent, so I have to survive off of my own money/get help from my parents. Even the highest student loan (about £5200?) leaves you with less than £1000 after rent. And Norwich is a cheap place for house rent compared to the rest of the UK.

I don't know, you wouldn't go and see your friends and just sit there doing nothing. At university it is very normal to drink socially and go out to bars/clubs/parties etc. What else is there to do otherwise? Sports and other activities obviously, but they are more hobbies and don't take up much time, especially on weekend evenings
Drinking is expensive though. It's like £30 a night, it ads up.
No not necessarily. That obviously can happen, but that's why you pre drink, half a bottle of vodka is about £7. Entry costs about £3-£5 in most places then you only need a few drinks which are cheap. £15 can easily get you a good drunk night out.
Also, what's wrong with people spending money on drinking? It's a social activity with friends.
So you can't meet your friends without alcohol?
