Apart from Jingles and Adam & Eve I didn't drink in town a lot.
Crowd that I hung round with weren't particularly concerned about drink drive laws (even one who was a police cadet). We used to frequent Woodside, Highfield, Olde House, Peacock (Barlow) mainly or go down Brampton (mainly Terminus & Star).
As a student working tax free in the summer I could get 5 pints for my hourly wage, can't even match that now!
