‘Pre-drinks’
“去酒吧前,在家喝酒”
We’re not advocating drinking, but you’re a student now, so we suspect you’re doing it anyway. Take our advice on this, though – you’ll save money if you drink before going out. Your local supermarket is almost always going to beat student bars on price, so buy accordingly, and start your evening at home with friends. Bonus: you’ll actually be able to hear what they’re saying.
此处不是提倡喝酒,但你已经是大学生了,所以你总会有机会喝酒的。尽管如此,请采纳我们的建议——外出前先喝酒会帮你省钱。当地超市的酒几乎总是比学生酒吧卖得便宜,所以适时去超市买酒,和朋友们在家里开始晚上的娱乐。这样做的额外奖励:没了酒吧的喧闹,你还可以听到他们在讲什么。
