Pay £1.50 instead then.

That's a bit more like it.

I don't like clubbing or drinking either. I honestly don't see the point in consuming alcohol at all. It saddens me that people need alcohol to come out of their shell and feel confident.

Also, clubbing is boring. Once you've had a bit of a dance, what else are you meant to do? You can't talk cos the music's too loud, and people bumping into you gets seriously annoying!

I do go to Wetherspoons and Yates for the cheap (non-alcoholic) drinks and food! :biggrin:

From my experience the people that do not enjoy going out drinking or "clubbing" so to say have a lot less friends or are hideously envious of those that do. It's not an extrovert/introvert issue, it's a social issue.

People that avoid clubbing like to think that they are better than those that actually go ahead and socialise. If that makes you feel better then that's cool for you.

Can you explain this further? I don't understand how dancing with people is more social than talking to them and paying attention to them.

What kind of socialisation takes place in a club? drinking, dancing, vomiting and fainting?

There are pubs, there are restaurants, there are cafes, there are cinemas, there are theaters, there are museums - even bars.. There are many, many places where one can go in order to socialise without getting a headache. When I go out with my friends I want to talk to them. I don't want to shout at their ears.

And you are the one who's acussing people of being unsocial if they do not go clubbing. You have equated socialisation with clubbing which is so pathetic that I am sorry I took the time to write this.

I love clubs- but for the dancing, not for the alcohol. I hate drinking too much, and have only done that about 5/6 times in my whole life (which is a lot less than everyone else at uni.)
There's nothing wrong with having a couple of drinks though, as long as you know when to stop!

nah dont bother

You'r very very normal, in fact I dont blame you.

I dont know why I still go to clubs.

dont see how not liking clubbing will make u a social outcast of any sort. I club but only for socialising and with friends. and my friends are going to say the same thing as me haha. Though they might look like people who go clubbing everyday.and dare i say so for most people who go clubbing, not many actually like the CLUBBINB per se. so nope ur fine.

Gemma :)!

Same here (except more than 5/6 times :p:

). I don't need to get drunk when I go out clubbing, just a couple of drinks to help me relax...The only times since being at uni when I've been REALLY drunk were house parties. Actually no, I lie, there was a college ent with free drinks that I just couldn't resist :o:

No way, you are not weird!! Gosh, :woo:

phew I thought I was the only individual on the planet who abhorred clubbing. - drunken people groping at one from all manner of directions is not my idea of fun. :naughty:

As for pubs, only been there once to use the toilet -it was either wet myself or use the pub toilet. :eek3:

However, if people like clubbing then it is their choice......

Why is everyone saying that clubs are just about drink, vomiting, blah blah? =S
Shut up.

I enjoy it for going out with my friends, having a drink, dancing, having a laugh, meeting new people .. Noone makes you drink so much till your sick, fall over, make a full of yourself so stop making it out as if every clubs a hellhole.

I went clubbing once and I thought it was complete and utter ****.

Problems:

1. Ridiculously loud music that actually left me partially deaf in one ear for a few hours after leaving. Can't hear a thing anyone says either.

2. So many people you can barely move, takes 30 mins to buy drinks. Seriously W T F.

3. Literally nothing to do except dance. That's all anyone did or could do. Seriously I don't understand dancing, I don't understand the point of it, I don't understand what you get out of it, I don't understand why the hell anyone would want to do it. It's just stupid. Dancing is frigging retarded....and gay. Super MEGA gay infact.

I do not understand it AT ALL. If I wanted somewhere to get drunk I'd stay at home, why would I need to go anywhere else? Least not to a crowded noisy hell hole with overpriced drinks.

EDIT: hear, hear...

I like getting drunk, I like going to clubs.

Does this mean im an alcoholic violent idiot who pukes up after a night out and lacks any real social skills?

No. It means exactly what I said; That I enjoy to get drunk and I enjoy clubbing.

Please stop attempting to label all drinkers/clubbers as being the same as the very few minority who do get wasted beyond their limits or are violent.

Drinking / clubbing is an important and accepted part of British culture. It is important for that very reason; it is the accepted norm for people to go out in the snow, wearing nothing, drinking poison and eating festering kebabs until hours you would otherwise consider ridiculous. (Before you get any ideas, I am a keen drinker and have been to many a club!)

This is how some people like to relax. I have had a few good nights out but generally also find it utterly boring. When I am in people's company I prefer to chat, rather than to flail and gesture. That said, I can see some of the appeal and I certainly don't look down upon people who are out every night - some people like football, some like poker, some like hardcore S&M and some collect coins. Similarly some club, it just happens that lots of people club and so if you don't enjoy it you feel isolated - perhaps you will start to feel how certain minority groups feel about other, more important issues - it could be a healthy eye-opener.

It's just how the world works i'm afraid. Realistically, as a student, you will probably seem pretty antisocial if you dont go out - but you may be surprised just how many of those who 'put on a brave face' actually want to be under a duvet watching cartoons :wink:

having your own interests, knowing yourself and not following a social norm are bad things, eh?

do what you want to do. life is not served by living up to others' standards.

That's funny. I remember you posting just a moment ago that people who have their own different interests are "geeks, nerds, scallies or sometimes mentally ill".

... Multiple personalities much?
