Oasis' Noel Gallagher was recently stuck with a bar tab that totalled 708.40 Euros ($1,134.93) when he visited an Irish pub in Amsterdam.

Gallagher listed in a Jan. 23 post on his blog what he'd been stuck paying for after exclaiming, "Urgh! My head hurts today." We aren't sure if that's from the bill, which he found in his pocket the next morning, or the liquor he consumed the night before. But in any case, here's what he paid for:

"29 pints of Guinness
16 pints of Strongbow
6 pints of Jupiler (whatever the fuck that is!)
4 pints of Heineken
3 Gordon's gin
5 Sauza Tequila
12 Bacardis
11 Vodka Stolis
14 Jameson whiskey
10 Bushmills Malt
16 bottles of Coke
7 bottles of tonic
4 7-Up

"... and this is the killer: 1 glass of Port and a packet of Cheese and Onion crisps!!??"

The drinking continued once Oasis got to Sweden, which Gallagher vaguely recounted in another blog post on Monday:

"Where've we been since last time? Fuck knows. Gothenburg last night. That much I do know.

"Met up with some old friends. From that band "The Soundtrack Of Our Lives". They were dj'ing at some club. Pretty fuckin' rowdy, as I remember. Think there was a definite Viking element to the evening.

"Met the Swedish cultural minister last night! Bit of a dude, by all accounts. Lord knows what shit I filled his head with. Sven Goran Eriksson probably."

Gallagher ended his ramble with this post-script:

"Still trying to get to the bottom of who had 1 glass of Port and a packet of cheese and onion crisps in Amsterdam the other night. Everyone's taking the 5th. The smart money's on the guy from Q Magazine though. We may never know."

We hope you feel better, Noel. We get that you might have a higher than average alcohol tolerance, but here's the trick to being a celebrity: Skip out early so that everyone else gets stuck with your tab.
