A big night out?

We know a boys' weekend away can lead to messy nights but one Australian celebrity trio's booze-fuelled evening in New Zealand has landed them one hefty bill.

Model and ex-boyfriend of Dannii Minogue, Kris Smith, The Bachelorette - Australia star Sasha Mielczarek and a friend had been enjoying a boys' weekend away in the snowy paradise of Queenstown when they decided to indulge in a boozy binge.

Mielczarek posted a photo of their bill with the caption: "This is what 3 blokes and 4 hours can do."

Their impressive list of drinks totalled a sizeable $872. Not bad for a four-hour session.

The trio's bill mostly consisted of alcoholic beverages, including 12 pints of Kilkenny, five pints of Guinness, 18 double Baileys shots, 16, Smirnoff vodkas, 15 Irish car bomb pogs, three double gins, three pints of Macs and a double tequila shot among a Sunday roast for each person.

While the trio's four-hour alcohol-fuelled binge was sure to be rowdy, there's no doubting the hangover from hell struck the next morning.

Arriving in New Zealand Thursday, Kris, from I'm A Celebrity, was joined by Sasha, who made a number of social media posts about their time at Queenstown's Winter Festival.

Sharing a black and white image of their night out, Sasha captioned a picture: "Two of the roughest heads going round but loving every second this beautiful place has to offer."

The pair, who have been locked in a long-running bromance, posted about their time in Queenstown images of ride down the luge and evenings sipping wine and smoking cigars.
