bored of going out?

I've just begun my 4th year at uni and lately i've been getting really bored with going out and getting drunk, especially clubbing. i guess it's just not exciting anymore now i've been doing it for 6 years! it's always the same, i frequently get really hammered, and i always wake up with a mega hangover and waste the entire next day. i'm starting to completely forget loads of stuff when i'm drunk also, which i really hate. it's beginning to seem a bit pointless and a waste of money!(it also makes me put on weight!!) call me an old fogey but i now much prefer sitting in a pub enjoying a nice beer or going out for a meal than having a mad large night!! it's so wierd cos up until a few months ago i was the original party animal!!
i'm even considering quitting drinking....eek!
i really don't want to become antisocial!!
does anyone else feel like this? is giving up altogether the answer? please help...

I've felt like that since I started uni lol. Mind you I started uni at 21 so had had a good number of years of being wasted. As you say, I find it boring now! We must be getting old! :wink::p:

I'm the same and I'm only 18 :p:
Whereas last year I was going out drinking sometimes four or five times a week, now I'm only going out once or twice a week. Saves me some money in the end, I guess, so it can't be all bad :smile:

Same here - which kind of makes Freshers week pointless, doesn't it? *Sigh*, oh well...

I'm the same...did all my partying during 6th form, on my gap year and 1st year. I'm only a 2nd year and I feel old.
its not gonna make you anti-social, I don't drink or smoke...I'm not anti-social...*looks around*

Quitting drinking doesn't make you antisocial! I didn't start drinking before I was 18, and not drinking never stopped me from having fun/being social. I think most people go through moments like this (I know I do!). It's not exactly the end of the world, and your liver might love you for it. Just go out if you feel like it, and have an orange juice instead of a SanFran.

Yeah, I had freshers' week a couple of weeks ago - most boring week ever.
i never get bored of going out, doubt i ever will

but thats cos with our course, a lot of the time were on placement & were never able to all get together and go out cos were all at diff hospitals and on diff shifts so it can be anything up to 3 months before were able to meet up again and hit the town

ditto :frown:. i still like going out but twice a week MAX. i feel like i've outgrown it a bit but the funny thing is i would now much rather do more childish things, like a sleepover with the girls or a trip to the cinema or something with my bf :smile: crazy world.

19, also bored of clubbing, since I've been going since I was 15 and don't like smokey places or getting really wasted and ending up with a hangover. It's a pain, I'm trying to go with the flow more this year and just go out or not as the mood takes me - and not worry about it.

I've never liked getting so drunk I can't remember what i've done. I go out clubbing a couple of times a week but get tipsy at most and just have a really good dance! the rest of the time i usually just go to a pub or a bar for a couple of drinks and a good chat with my friends. That doesn't me antisocial at all...in fact i'd argue it's more sociable to go to a pub where you can actually hear each other!

I like the pub cos you can talk and get pleasantly fuzzy on alcohol without feeling pressured into getting utterly pissed. Bars and clubs annoy me because it's too loud and you can't talk.
