How to become a Millionaire by avoiding buying rounds of drinks in pubs

Someone suggested I ought to buy a drink
Why should I buy a drink?
  1. Don’t buy the first round – it is usually the most expensive.
  2. Go to the toilet when it is your round of drinks.
  3. Buy your round last. It may never come round.
  4. If it gets close to your round of drinks go to another pub.
  5. If by some massive error it does get to your round buy half pints and tonics.
  6. Say ‘you forgot your money’.
  7. Say ‘The pub wasn’t there yesterday’.
  8. Say ‘I didn’t know we were going to a pub’.
  9. Get so pissed on others rounds so that you aren’t capable of buying your round.
  10. Say ‘My wallet is at the bottom of my rucksack’.
  11. Say ‘On the way to the pub I put my cash card in the wrong machine and it kept it’.
  12. Offer to buy your round after the pub has closed to appear generous.
  13. Pretend you’ve got a bad memory and forget when your round comes.
  14. Make your drink last from the previous persons round so you don’t have to buy one for yourself on
    your round.
  15. Buy expensive drinks on other peoples rounds and cheap ones on your round.
  16. Smuggle some cans in to the pub.
  17. Do something so stupid that everyone forgets that it is your round of drinks.
  18. Take everyone to a pub that has closed down and has had its windows boarded up.
  19. Offer to buy a round first thing in the morning.
  20. Go to the pub with people under drinking age so that you are the only one that can have a drink.
  21. If you are driving, drive past the pub so you do not have to buy a drink.
  22. Conveniently forget where the till is.
  23. Turn the clocks forward one hour so everyone thinks that it is too late to go to the pub.
  24. Hide round the back so that you cannot be found.
  25. Try to sell copies of this list to pay for a round.
  26. If someone gives you some money to get a round, keep some of the change to pay for your round.
  27. Take only foreign coins so that you cannot pay for the any drinks.
  28. Pay for a small drink and go back and get yourself a second helping when the people behind the bar are not looking.

All of the above have been thouroughly tested. I am always looking for ways of getting out of buying drinks so if you can think or any excuses not listed here then please Email me . I will try out any excuses sent in and if they work I will add them to the bottom of the list.
If You want to by me a drink I like scotch Whiskey mixed with coke, Beer, Lager, Shandy & cider .

How the list on avoiding buying rounds of drinks in Pubs started

The tradition in England is when you go up to the bar to buy yourself a drink you also have to buy a complete round of drinks for all the people you are with. However if there is a lot of people you know in the pub buying a drink for eveyone can get quite expensive. Every time I go out I try to think of another way of saving money by avoiding buying any drinks. While I was on holiday in the Ise of man we went to a pub with a list of 5 ways of getting out of buying a drink. I soon realised that not only had I used every reason on the list but had successfuly tried many many more. By the time we left the pub the list had extended to 15. By the end of the holiday the list was up to 24 (in case you wanted to know I dont remember buying any drinks that week). For my 30th birthday I had mannaged to get the list up to 30. One excuse for every year of my age. Unfortunatly I lost the copy of the list with the full 30 excuses on but when I remember any more I will add them here. I am aiming to keep thinking up a different excuse for every year of my age so as I get older I will have to thimk up even more ways of avoiding buying drinks. Just think how good the list will be when I am 80.

Some of the ways of avoiding buying rounds of drinks in Pubs may sound a bit strange so I will try and explain them here.

10. Say ‘My wallet is at the bottom of my rucksack’.
I went on the Essex Way long distance walk with a group of friends. I convienently packed my wallet is at the bottom of my rucksack & mannaged to get away without buying a drink for a whole bank holiday weekend.

7. Say ‘The pub wasn’t there yesterday’.
This must be the strangest ways of avoiding buying rounds of drinks on the list but it worked . Wilst on holiday in Ise of man I realised I needed to think up some new reasons for the list. Everyone might complain if I use the same excuse too many times. We went for a walk one evening . The next day we did the same walk but went about 20 meters further. I told everyone I couldnt buy a round because ‘The pub wasn’t there yesterday so I didnt bring any money with me’
If you want any of others explained then please Email me

Some of the pubs where I have tried out the list of ways of avoiding buying rounds of drinks include
The Marne Inn in Bishops Stortford Hertfordshire
The Purple Emperor Pub in Harlow Essex
The Red Lion Pub in Stevenage Herts
The Shark Pub in Harlow Essex
The Vault Pub in Waltham Cross Herts
The White Lion Pub in Sawbridgeworth Herts
The Willow Beauty Pub in Harlow Essex
so if you see me in one of these pubs make sure you have plenty of money with you
