Taxi unless I'm staying at a mate's place who is closer than mine. Though recently the trend has to been for a mate and I to run home, 3 miles or so haha, it makes sense at the time.

I can't go home if I've been out cause my parents hate it, so I usually stay at a mates. We get a taxi back, or a mate (who was not out or draining) swings by and gives up a lift :')

I hardly ever go out, but when I do I usually get a taxi home.
i normally walk home alone.....if im with friends then its cheaper with taxis- but if ive gone out with mates where we all live different areas/i leave early then i just walk.

Its about 2 miles up hill!!! However, more recently ive decided to get taxi's as id rather spend £6 than regret spending it...

The other night i went out and caught the night bus and then got off and legged it home haha! i didnt realise i was such a good runner when drunk lol

Because all of us can drive, one of us doesn't drink that night and drops us all off at the end of the night. We take it turns being the person who isn't going to get hammered lol. Works out well as we live in a village and the taxis stop operating after 2am.

I walk, it takes about 2-3 minutes depending on BAC.


If I go to a different town, I usually catch the train. Sometimes they don't come along to check for tickets, and other times they let you off with a reduced rate. I think it cost me about £8 to get from my town, to the main station, to the other city, and back again.

To this date, I still don't know how I get home after a night out. For all I know I take a plane.

It depends on if I'm at home or uni. When I'm at home the buses stop running at about 11pm, so they're no use, and I don't like walking home alone at night through deserted residential side streets - especially given that every so often you get a spate of sex attacks in that area.

When I'm at uni the bus service is much better and pretty much drops me outside my front door, so I just use that.
I get 'home' by relaxing my definition of what my home is - but generally I walk if the buses are done, sometimes jog. I find it much easier to run at night-time, when it's cold and you're too drunk to get tired :biggrin:

Bus usually, or the tube if it's still early enough.

crash at a friends house but more often than not bus then a very long walk home, unless i pass out in a hedge somewhere:rolleyes:

depends how far away my house is. If its a 15 min walk i'll stumble home like a complete pisshead but if its further away i normaly bus it
I tend to walk, it's only around 3 miles.
I get a taxi and it's £15-20 but I hardly ever go out anymore. Can't wait til uni cos I'll only be like a 10 min walk from pubs and clubs :smile:
