Would you be able to enjoy yourself at a nightclub without alcohol?

Would you be able to go to a nightclub and not drink or is the booze part of the experience?

Lets say we're in... A typical nightclub that plays all the generic music that everybody knows. Nothing too special.

No, because no normal person would enter a nightclub unless under the influence enough to convince them it's a good idea.

Not a chance, drunk people are annoying as **** unless you're drunk too.

Absolutely correct!

And some people like the alcohol to give them a slight confidence boost.

I don't think I've ever entered a club sober.

I thought I could, but actually, no. It's not really the same...I love the music and the dancing, but the people just become annoying and it's a bit like "why am I doing this". If you're drunk, everything you say/do is a fantastic idea.

Not sure if I could...I find it hard to get too drunk anyway, but working night shifts in a fast food chain has convinced me a night out is impossible without alcohol!

No, because then it would just be a dark room with loads of sweaty, hyperactive people circling their hips and and trying to punch the air in time to deafening music. But when your drunk.... =]

Absolutely not. Nightclubs are horrible places. They only seem like a good idea when you're already drunk.

That's not to say I can't have a good time without alcohol, it's just to say that nightclubs aren't where you go if you want to have a good time whilst sober.

Sadly probably no.

I could dance in the kitchen with friends totally sober - well, I do...

But the environment of a club does need alcohol to work if I'm being entirely honest.

yeah. Just drink coca cola instead. Then you get a caffeine high. I know people who just drink red-bulls.

Anyone who is too much of a chicken to go to a nightclub sober is not the bravest little soldier in world. awww. how sweet. :wink:

Yes. I have what's called personality.

Yeah, good luck with that. Personality counts for **** all in a club.

Never mind a night out, working in a fast food chain would probably convince me that a day at work would be impossible without alcohol.

I have spent nights at clubs with no alcohol whatsoever...in the bad clubs it was awful, in the good clubs I had a better time than normal :smile:

The only issue is when others are getting pished and you're the one having to deal with all their annoying drunken habits!

Hehe, well put. This is why I so rarely go to clubs.

That said, it would depend on who I went with. Certain kinds of nightclub can be fun regardless of alcohol in the right company.

I didn't drink for 4 months when I was at uni and still went out as normal. Still enjoyed myself! Provided you're with good people you don't need to drink to have a good time!

I'd like to think I could but I probably couldn't.

I suppose to some people it's like playing Call of Duty without any guns.

Have done before. Wasn't great but wasn't soul destroying either. Like other people have said, I find alcohol's best use as a means to dull your sense of all the crap going on around you.
