If you need to ask what to do in a nightclub then I can bet you're not the sort of person who's going to enjoy it.. :lol:

Go to the bar and get a drink that I wouldn't normally get down the local pub. Something like a jug of Sex On The Beach, because when in a club it's acceptable.

Attempt to dance, but then realise my new found jug of alcohol is likely to spill, so leave the dance floor.

Head outside to the smoking area for a cigarette and then begin chatting with complete strangers, because when you're at a smoking area and in a club, it's not weird.

Decide that it's that time of the night to go to the toilet, not because I need the toilet, but because I probably need to touch up my lip gloss, sit on top of the toilet and hold my shoes in my hands for a while because my feet are in agonising pain and then attempt to leave the toilet bare foot.

The bouncer then tells me that is a stupid idea because I'll probably end up with glass in my feet.
The bouncer is right and if I were sober I would know that without his help, I'd also be able to put my shoes back on without the supervision of two friends holding on to my arms.

The realisation that I have no drink in hand and my feet have had a small rest hits in, so I decide the dance floor is now calling me. Dive to the middle of the floor and decide I'm now Beyonce, voice and moves.

Find I'm being groped left, right and centre by men and women, because in a club it's assumed that's the done thing.

Discuss with the current group of friends whether to attempt the bar for another drink, or head to the next club.

Head to the next club and repeat.

A little bit of vodka and mixer won't affect your rowing.

The music is terrible in my opinion, mostly house/dance music (or whatever they call it) :boring:


Lots of clubs are hugely successful busy venues, which attract huge numbers of people every night. They play music which suits the vibe and that people enjoy, if they didn't the clubs would not be as successful.

Don't confuse your opinion with fact. Also there isn't such a thing as bad music so long as somebody gets some kind of satisfaction from it.

Couldn't anyone with half a brain cell work out it was my opinion?
I really don't understand how anyone can go to a club and just not dance for the whole night, unless you're planning on spending 3 hours in the smoking area. You don't need to start doing the moonwalk lol, just jig around a little.
Run for the door as fast as possible.

To get served after 12.30?


Lucky me, I have a pub five min walk away that is often open and serving after the clubs have shut XD

Don't drink as much as your friends because it will probably take less for you to get drunk (unless you have a lot of body weight) and you won't be able to control your silly drunk antics as well as them (i.e. = embarrassment).

You have to dance in a club...that's one of their main purposes. Clubs serve to get you drunk, make you dance to their music, socialise with friends/strangers and for some people, pull.

Smoking area is a good place to physically cool off and talk to people, you just have to stand in smoky air for a bit which can be pretty disgusting for some people who can't stand it.

Once you get a bit drunk you'll find yourself dancing anyway. Just copy a mate.

I was scared to go clubbing for the first time and I waited a long time. Once you do it, you'll realise there is not much to it and it's the last place to feel anxious.

Alcohol is key, though. But you must be responsible. I drink a fair bit but not enough to have a hangover or forget the next day. Know your limits and dont push it.

If you don't know your limits, you're probably not going to enjoy it as much. For me, knowing my limits before I first went clubbing meant I could make the most of making sure I was drunk enough to enjoy it without being too drunk.

smoke
pee more
drink more
smoke more
the only thing i find to do at a club is smoke

Once you're drunk you'll probably dance
1) Get drinks in, talk *******s, get tipsy
2) Stand awkwardly at the edge of the dancefloor and gradually work our way in and start dancing
3) Dance up to a girl and get up in their personal space
4) If getting good signals, go to step 5, if bad signals pick a new target and repeat step 3
5) Get in position to recieve some grinding - do some hip grabbing if grinding occurs
6) Get back in front and do some ass grabbing whilst continuing to dance
7) Go in for a snog
8) Ask in as smooth and casual a manner as possible if she wants to leave with you (optional)
9) If she says no or you decided you want to carry on the snog fest, repeat steps 3-7/8 as required

If you're worried about your inability to dance - nobody really dances. It's kind of more like everyone awkwardly bounces together.

If you drink enough to be drunk but not so much that you're ****faced then you should be able to get into a good, carefree and easygoing mood, and you shouldn't overthink. If you worry too much and get too self-conscious you will struggle to enjoy yourself.

If you've never been clubbing before / don't know how to dance then just tell your new mates. You can laugh about it and you might find that they'll dance with you. Most people who are new to clubbing / dancing just stand in the dance floor and take the mickey out of other dancers (usually a sign of self-consciousness), but everyone's a bit drunk and nobody really cares.

I don't like clubbing to unfamiliar dubstep stuff because that's when it is about the music and dancing, but I enjoy singing along to songs I know and dancing with my mates.

I'm sure your friends won't judge you if you're new to clubbing / drinking especially if it's because you're dedicated to your sport (which is impressive rather than negative, there will be a lot of people there who haven't been clubbing because they didn't have a social life in school, etc.)

We had a guy who lived in my halls in first year who would get really drunk because he would just keep drinking, and it affected him worse than most because he didn't drink often (he was an athlete and squash player), and he was still fun to be with. I think it's in your best interests to just be honest about your lack of experience with clubbing because then your friends might keep a bit of an eye on you and just not pressure you to drink too much (which is always a good thing). They might be surprised you haven't been clubbing before but I'm sure they won't make you feel ashamed of it. Dedication to your sport is a totally legit reason to not drink often.

Ultimately, clubbing is just about letting go and enjoying yourself, and you can only really enjoy yourself if you let your insecurities go and just dance. This is why so many people need to be inebriated in order to enjoy themselves, because they can't let go of their insecurities and self-consciousness without alcohol. I wouldn't advise you to drink to lose your inhibitions, just remember that everyone is looking for a good night out, and nobody will notice the things you feel embarrassed about except you.

And if someone does seem to be taking the piss out of your dancing, it's probably not that you're a bad dancer, but that they're an insecure one.
1. Predrink
2. Move to the first girl that catches your eye, any girl, anywhere, just be a persistent guy
3. You'll know within a minute if shes worth talking to or not
4. If yes, boom you can stick with her all night and potentially get laid
5. If no, find mates, relax go out for a cigarette, have jokes with some loudmouths
6. Walk back and repeat from step 2.
