In Thailand yes as in Pattaya I buy lots of rounds and up in Isaan Esco land (me old Dutch mate) I tend to buy boxes of Leo and only really eat breakfast and a light fish type dinner.

Just realised I don't eat lunch in isaan ........................ blimey its true. Beer gives glucose and fuel so why ???

Off topic, but I think you're not the only one. IMO, if it can be OK for a few days on holiday it sure is, healthwise, a major disaster if done every day on the long term. 

Personally, I have cut my 2 daily large Bintang to zero when at the jungle house. Only water now when up there. 

And I have 3 proper meals a day.

Don't drink for the 9 1/2 months I spend in the States. When abroad, I go out and drink maybe 2 or 3 times a week. So I guess, no. I spend more on food here obviously. In the LOS I spend more on food as well.

Dunno what I spend on grub as the missus always buys it except on the very odd occasion when we eat out.

I do know that I spend a lot on booze....but a bloke has to have a hobby doesn't he?

Depends where on holiday, but if in Pattaya or similar that's rather easy. 

I eat mostly Thai food so spend probably around 500 baht per day on food for 3 meals a day, maybe a little more. 

At an average beer price of 80 baht that's around 6 to 7 beers. For some that's breakfast 🙂

Since I don't drink alcohol while the sun is up and keep 1 out of 3 days alcohol free, I will guess it ends at about the same amount +/- 1000 baht seen over a 3 week holiday.

(other drinks such as coffee, milk, water, fanta etc not included, same goes for small food items such as chocolate, gum etc)

Was thinking about this last night. 

I think I've spent most on taxis. 

Airport - Bangkok - Ayuttaya - Bangkok - Cha Am - Pattaya - Ayuttaya - Airport. 

But doubt renting a car, plus logistics of it would be less hassle, expense. 

If didn't have the child could do cheaper transport options, he little vans etc. But too much hassle with a child and everything needed for the child.

Single, married, with a child... all different life styles, and can't really compare them.

Oops, and I forgot to add "pensioner" 😄😄😄

I spend way more on drink than food but not necessarily beer than food. 

Beer vs food about even on long trips as I don't drink beer every day.

On short trips then more beer for sure!
