North East revellers are likely to sink the most pints this Christmas party season - as the country plans to spend a staggering £2.1billion on festive bashes. Partygoers from Sunderland budget £122.50 on average for their main festive night out, while those from Middlesbrough earmark slightly less with £99.60, the survey revealed.
This is a huge leap up from the national average of just £70.40 for the celebrations - and two-thirds (65%) of those quizzed said they plan to attend a Christmas party. This equates to a whopping £2.1billion being splashed out by consumers and pumped into the economy across the UK, according to the 2,000 Brits polled by fashion retailer QUIZ.
The research highlighted that Londoners look set to be the biggest spenders at Christmas parties and events this year, splashing an average of £133.60 per event. However if Londoners enjoy a takeaway and four pints they'll end up spending £31, whereas up in Sunderland the equivalent costs just £19.89.
