Medics, How much do you really party?

we party hard. allow the migraine skank - it's all about the handwash skank! six steps yo! she be tripppppin' mhmmmmm!

tuesday and friday nights are insane.

How do you find that? Are there other people you can chat to in the uni that don't go out or do you find yourself on your own in the halls? Because I think I'd be much like you in respect to clubbing/drinking at uni.

If those applicants that you're referring to had any sense about them, they'd surely realise that the OP's question was not directed at them. Similarly, I'm sure current medics are also able to read threads outside of their sub-forum and so there's no need to barge in there.

And also I meant trite. Look it up.

Ummm... My favourite flatmate doesn't go out clubbing either so I'm not lonely - and I have other hobbies about 3 or 4 days a week that aren't clubbing to fill the time. I'm naturally kind of lazy with doing things, so if I went out clubbing the whole time I'd probably be too apathetic to do anything else during the week

I talk a lot on the internet to my boyfriend too

I don't actually hang out that much with the other medics though I have good medic friends

It seems as though there are clubbers and there are teetotallers and then people who don't object to drinking but just don't like it that much are a bit of a rare breed

ADVANTAGES: Time for other things, don't feel constantly knackered, think of the money, THE MONEY!

DISADVANTAGES: I'm too biased to mention any

Awesome, I'm actually so glad to hear that people like you exist in med school and uni generally. Thanks for that (:

There really are plenty of people who would rather watch a film or go out for a meal or something instead of going clubbing every night, there's no need to worry about fitting in in that respect.

seriously when the migraine skank is played at clubs like ministry, everyone goes nuts with some crazy migraine dance...and then you have the medics in their own circle doing the handwash skank. only in tooting and george's riiight?

ONE TWO TAKE YOUR RIGHT HAND
TAKE YOUR LEFT HAND
SHOW ME THE HANDWASH SKAAAAANK

Thats good to hear!
I like going out but once a week. Once every two weeks. Not 3 times a week, bloody hell, I don't have the energy or the liver strength

Liver strength improves with practice. I just got home and was horrified at the lack of wine.

Last year, it was about twice a week, out at Tiger or Liquid, or 4/5 nights a week in Freshers/Refreshers/Week after exams. This year, it's been about once a week.

Hungover + diathermy smell is not a great combo, though. You quickly discover the mother of all hangover cures

The maximum I managed was 4 nights out a week in term time last year. usually sports night + one other. The thing is you can't really afford it, both financially and in terms of writing off the next day.

Drink port, never gives hangovers.

But port?!?! Now that I can't afford. And I know of no bar in Aberdeen that would sell it!

I went to the MedSoc xmas party on Wednesday (before my 8am start in theatres ) and only spent £3! 75p vodka mixers plus very generous wine-buying friends

we are the really really drunk people...

You surely must have seen me! I was asking tons of people if they knew a Becca-Sarah.

I may not be out every night of the week but I make the most of it when I am
