That really depends on what you plan to buy.
well the normal stuff. food, transportation, alcohol

It still depends on what you want to buy…
I’d plan on $100 per day for food from markets and street vendors with the occasional pub grub or cafe, hostel dorm, local transportation by subway, tram and bus (no taxis), 2 to 3 beers a day, laundry and misc.
If my lodging, airfare, and transportation between cities were already covered, I’d want 50 to 75 Euros per day, realizing that sometimes I might do better than that, and realizing that my tastes are more for local food and drink. If I had to add in-city transportation, it would depend how far out my lodging is. If I’m staying city-centre, then I’d budget very little; if further out, then I’d have to budget daily commute costs, plus to any sights not walk-able. However, I’ve rarely spent more than 75 Euros for a full day anywhere in Europe—if you don’t count nice restaurant meals out in Scandinavia.
Nice thing about your itinerary is that you’ll only need to get 2 more currencies once you’re in Europe.
for me its mainly food from pubs cheap cafes and restaurants, and i guess a cheap snack now and then during the day. transportation would be local city transportation. i have my flights/ eurail pass already. just taxis/subways/buses that sort of thing. alcohol would be beer and hard liquor and mixed drinks. i dont know how expensive it is to go out clubbing every night in europe + drinking at those clubs which is why im asking. thanks!

Unless you plan to drink a lot every night, then 50-75 EUR should handle you. If however you decide to only go to the most expensive clubs, then you’ll easily blow through 50-75 Euros in a few hours. Stick to non-touristed pubs, watch for specials, and limit your clubbing to stay within your budget.
