Now I am thinking about this and I can't see it been that easy.

Maybe it wont be that good but here goes...

We (Me & My mates) get the flights in the afternoon to our destination of choice, have possibly one hotel room maybe two for the lightweights that can't cope and wanna sleep, get leathered until stupid o'clock in the morning, go to the beach and chill out and sober up, fly home next day in either the evening or afternoon.

Now in reality, it should work...

£150 too hard to ask for it all to cost?

Surely the getting leathered bit will affect the memory hence defeating the "we won't forget" bit?

If you are just going to get leathered a take-away in the local park will be cheaper..........

Just had a quick look on lastminute.com, did 4 people from east midlands to Alacante including accommodation in 1 room, leaving friday returning sunday and it worked it 165quid each.

Have a look at expedia.co.uk too im sure you will find a deal somewhere in europe quite cheaply.

I've done something similar in the long & sadly forgotten past. :(

With us, it was a revised version of pub golf. Traditionally in pub golf, you have a drink in each watering hole. We did several drinks in several cities, via trains.

SkyScanner is your friend for the airways. Just be warned that flight crews can refuse you to fly if you're too drunk/rowdy.

If you wanted to leave today, come back tomorrow, you could get to Norway for as little as £61 each (incl. Taxes) - sort out your own transfers & accommodation.

The beauty of SkyScanner. :)

EDIT: That was from B'ham airport - if you're not fussy about airport, there's loads of destinations where the air fare is roughly £65 return.

your still lookin at £250 quid for a night out, if you've got the coin I'd say go for it why not sounds like a mint weekend.

France/Germany/Netherlands/Belgium/Denmark/Spain all under £50 return flight if you can wait until August.

Yeah, gotta be clubby/pubby. This is purely the planning stages and when I say £150, we're talking spending money there too. A lot of that will go on getting intoxicated.

Dont forget that the Euro is now roughly the same as a pound.
On our holiday I paid 2.26E for some strawberry jam it wasnt until I got back to the villa I realised how much it had just cost me. Europe is literally 4x more expensive than it was 2 years ago.
More important than Jam is beer for it to be a cheaper pint you need to go somewhere that sells a pint for less than 3 euros!
