I got manhandled by a bouncer because I gave my boyfriend a quick kiss and they just pulled me away from him D: i wasn't even drunk & we weren't doing anything PDA extreme either, literally a peck on the lips :P

I think they're so used to completely wasted people they just try & kill anyone! Never been in a place like it before though, someone threw up on the floor in front of me and just carried on dancing :') grottiest but best place in the world haha

Wow, really?
I don't remember seeing any bouncers, but I'm usually gone by that point.

Ohhh, that's disgusting! I'm going ack in a couple of weeks, and I'm determined to pace myself and last the night!

I've made it to half 2 before, but I'm determined at least once I'll make it to when they turn the lights on!

I've yet to actually meet anyone at Sheffield that doesn't get smashed at least some of the time. I wouldn't worry though.

Horses for courses and all that, but I find most people who say they don't like clubbing just aren't doing it right.

This. I mean, if you don't like it, I don't care that you don't do it, but so many people say how they don't like clubbing for really generic reasons... like the music is crap... but there are so many different nights you can go to with all different kinds of music... come on, you don't say you don't like food because you're not into, I dunno, bread...

I hate clubbing, but it feels like a necessary evil to me if I want to sustain a decent social life. I just get drunk enough to drown out the music or hope and push to go to clubs that play music I actually like.

I remember when I first went to Kingdom nightclub in Sheffield. It was the amazingest place I had ever been in. Sometimes, on a Monday, they would even have topless students there.... and once Chesney Hawkes played there...ah... memories. :smile:

Oh, yeah, you don't have to drink alcohol if you don't want to. Have a coke instead.

It's written between the lines of what you said.

So basically what you're saying is that I didn't say it, and you just can't read properly. Stop embarrassing yourself please.

Original post by Sagacious

You said and I quote, 'When people ask me what I did during uni I want to say I was enjoying living life, not saving up and just studying.' I enjoy studying, so do others, but you said 'enjoying living life', that implies that you need Alcohol to enjoy life.

Sorry but how the hell did you infer that "when people ask me what I did during uni I want to say I was enjoying living life" = "you need Alcohol to enjoy life"? Alcohol wasn't even mentioned in that sentence...

Original post by Sagacious

You also replied to another user with this when he said he liked studying, 'Well you sound like a whole bag of fun.' Sarcasm. That shows that you think he isn't fun and therefore studying isn't fun, as opposed to Alcohol which you said 'enjoying living life.'

That doesn't even make LOGICAL SENSE. I don't understand how anyone can be so stupid.

So when someone says that instead of going out having fun and socialising I'm going to spend my time at uni every night studying all night to someone who apparently wants a social life, and I say "you sound fun", what has that got to do with alcohol? :lolwut:

You have a big problem understanding simple sentences mate, I'm not sure anyone has a clue what you're on about.

Original post by Sagacious

'I'd want to spend my youth having fun.' This sums up everything I just said in the above paragraphs. You think Fun = Alcohol.

So because I think alcohol = is fun that means I somehow said "you need Alcohol to enjoy life".

How the **** are you actually coming to these conclusions. Are you tapped in the head?

What I was saying had nothing to do with alcohol, like somehow you've figured out in your warped reality, and more to do with the point with saving money for years for no reason instead of using it to enjoy life.

Original post by Sagacious

Definition of fun - 'A source of enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure.' Enjoyment, this links back to what I said in paragraph 1. You do know that people find pleasure if different things, don't you? Some people; enjoy reading, some enjoy playing sports, some enjoy killing people. We can't say that they aren't pleasurable because it's subjective to the person. You may find studying boring, it doesn't mean others do, and it doesn't make them any less 'fun' than you.

You also said and I quote 'so many people with a wasted youth', this implies that you think people who stay indoors and save money are 'wasting' their youth.

No they're not; they're just spending their time as a youth in a different way to what you are. Isaac Newton stared at light, was that a waste of youth? Of course not, by doing this it guided him to his scientific discoveries. Einstein also wondered what light was, did he also waste his youth? Shakespeare wrote page after page, did he waste his youth? What about Darwin, he was so 'sad' that he took note of many animals on the planet, he even left his country to do this, was that a waste of youth? What about Bill Gates, he spent the majority of his time as a kid looking at programming manuals and making little games that he could show his 'friends'. I suppose he wasted his youth because he didn't go outside and drink Alcohol? The answer is no. None of them wasted their youth, neither is the OP, myself or any other person that doesn't drink Alcohol.

You also said that people in this thread aren't real life people. What are they then, machines? No, they're human beings, just like you. Just because they live a different life to you, it doesn't mean they're living it in a wrong way. Different isn't wrong. You don't need me to actually define different for you, do you?

Come on mate. Even an idiot would know that I meant "people on this thread aren't representative of normal people". See, there you thought I was implying they were cyborgs. :rolleyes:

I swear you suffer from some sort of psychosis... you should really get your head checked. I have no idea what the **** is going on in there.

Why do you think quoting yourdictionary.com somehow means anything?

Original post by Sagacious

In response to that last point, nowhere did I say I'm leaving, I was saying that I said the exact same, therefore 'you're leaving'.

I can't believe you spent so much of your time on such a pathetic reply. I must really have hit a nerve. It wasn't even worth replying to that, now I just feel embarrassed for you.

Alcoholism runs in my family and i'd prefer not to irreparably damage my liver for life. The Panorama on youth alcohol consumption is pretty shocking with people in their 20's dying of liver disease.

I don't know what happened with the double post thing.

But i'm not going to keep arguing. We all know you are a immature, narrow minded person who thinks if you don't drink Alcohol then you're weird.

Admit it or not it really doesn't matter.

Not gonna lie, almost everyone is going to drink alcohol - some more than others. By the end of my first year I was pretty much over it - very bored of going to clubs and things. Not sure if I'll bother next year or not.

You will save tonnes of money, in my case, the people I know seem to dislike pre-drinking so often end up spending upwards of £40/50 each a night on alcohol. Which is absolutely crazy to me.

Don't really get why people on TSR seem to think you therefore won't have a social life. At my uni at least people go out and do loads of stuff in the day time and do loads of things that don't require alcohol. So...

I'm at Sheffield and I can assure you that you will enjoy the nights out. I wasn't a massive fan of clubbing before uni but Sheffield has provided so many good nights out for me (some with no alcohol, some with far too much... :p:
