At what point does your idea of a good weekend change?

[Bubbs]

So my idea of a good night out was to go out in town, get drunk, have a few spliffs then head to the local nightclub where they played a mixture of hardhouse and other similar music. I'd then be encouraged to drop a pill, then throw up or have a mighty shit, then come up and dance like an idoiot while taking more pills, end up at a house party making friends with loads of randoms and talking absolute shit, partying until around 10am-12pm then going home and dying for the rest of that day and repeating until Monday comes round.

Now...

My idea of a good night out is going out somewhere close enough to politely say I'm heading home and not having far to go before I get home and get into my "comfies". Actually I'd prefer to stay in, order a chinese/indian and get a couple of bottles of wine/10 cans of imported beer and watch a movie, or have people over and have a talk and a few drinks and just enjoy the chilled out relaxed feeling of being at home.

So when did this change for you? (If it hasn't yet then it will eventually I promise.)

Even when I first got with my now wife I used to go out every weekend with her and have it large, but now it's more about chill and relax, even my music taste has changed from Eric Morillo to Mumford and Sons.

How old are you?

I'm still starting a phase of:

One weekend;
watch a film at home, often with beers - with freinds if they are free and not tied to other stuff

another weekend or 2;
go to mates and play xbox/get drunk and be very silly (sometimes childish pranks/dares can happen)

one weekend;
hit town.... do what has to be done.

the order rarely changes from pretty much how I wrote it but it's not the same thing over and over again everytime so it works for us.

My idea of a good night out now consists of having a bit of a cold. This is a good excuse not to have to go out so I can stay at home and watch Ola Jordan on Strictly.

I think I was 28 when I thought "fuck, this is costing me a fortune, I'm tired all the time, my job and health is suffering". Even before then I preferred the quieter settings; if I was at a bike rally, I'd not be found at the beer or band tent dancing and drinking until I puked, I'd be sitting at our circle of tents with a fire going, handful of good mates, talking bollocks, drinking and passing a joint or seven until the sun comes up, then fall backwards onto the sleeping bag.

A good night out now is with another couple or two, nice meal, couple of bottles of wine, then home for more drink/coffee, more talking bollocks and some decent music on in the background, low enough to talk over, loud enough to sing to.

Or me, the wife, a movie and a KFC family bucket between us.

Actually, ive been stuck in the same routine for a long time as I have been nowhere near my mates for 3 years so I would add going out on a wild one on the odd occasion when I do get back to home. Getting there slowly.

I'd say that things changed the most in my mid to late 20's, mates drift away from regular nights out with family/work commitments. When you do go out in town you realise that you're the oldest people in the club by about 5 years!
Drinking makes me tired and hangovers last 2 days.
At 31 Friday night is now when I do my housework and I go food shopping later on whilst it's empty sad times.

Saying that I've had a big weekend in the Dam, a messy day/night in London and a decent house party in the last 2 months so I'm not ready to roll over and die just yet.

For most people it is when they get married, after which most of their money is soaked up by living costs and maybe kids too. By the time they have a bit of money going spare they are in their 30s or 40s and not really interested in clubbing and that anymore.

[mistergixer]

Mine hasn't really changed, I just tend to do it much less frequently.

I'm only 24, go out at least twice a week and get shitfaced, more if on holiday/public hols.
Tend to start off light and then just hit tequilas, jagers and purple rains (light a bluebols/sambuca mix in a wine glass, pour into shot glass turn wine glass upside down. Drink shot, inhale fumes from wine glass, snort the left over sambuca). Typically don't remember much but patches after 10pm. If I wake up next to a woman (my memory is affected, but apparently not my motor and social skills) then it's a good night, if I wake up with a casino win it's a great night. If I wake up with both, a police fine and in a different country it's borderlining on a warped-style make believe misadventure.

TBH best nights I really have are getting drunk with my mates, at my mates' houses. That hasn't changed in 8 years, though some of my mates situations have (kids, fiances etc).

Weekend = Work. Xbox. Sleep.

Fun times.

I'm mid thirties, married, kids, mortgage etc etc I went through quite a while of staying in, but in the last couple of years started going out again. This was all fantastic but have found that I see the same old faces, there is also a lack of people that I 'click' with. It's either young girls / divorcees / left on the shelf types/ alcoholics... very few people who are in the same boat as me. So, I have began to smoke weed, drink wine and delight in my wifes company.

Harold_Shand's theory might be the best explanation.

[Clanger]

I used to party all weekend long, much like you Bubbs (but without the pills), and spend just Sunday recovering. Nowadays going out clubbing happens about once every 4-6months And I prefer to go out Friday night so I have two days to recover...

I do however, do bike rallies most months between April - October each year, which involves getting rather tiddly and chatting bollox with loads of randoms/friends around the campfire until the wee hours, then slinking off to the tent to sleep/pass out. Saturday night is much more relaxed and chilled and I usually get to my tent before midnight.

I do spend a lot more weekends home, mostly because I live a fair distance from my mates...and because I like time alone.

Used to go out Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday when I was 18/19.
Come 26/27 I went out pretty much every Saturday, (recent break up made me go bit wild) stayed out untill very late - But clearly that wasnt for me.
Now, Ill go out if I really can be bothered - Local is 30 second walk from mine. Sometimes I prefer to just chill with some beers at home.
The person who I got with this Jan is a bit of a drinker, Go out Saturday, go home, drink with friends till 3-4 in the morning go sleep, wake up 10am, then hit the drink & food again.
I got really ill and I stopped.
Im 28 now and again, Im out tommorow, first time in months - but not really looking forward to it. Id rather be in....

[Rogerborg]

I stopped drinking for a year when I hit 18. I think it's about how fulfilled you are during the day: fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run.

I dunno really, I quite look forward to eating crap food & a movie on the weekends, that is if its an occasion that I don't have to be up at 5:30 for fecking work.

Think I might have gone full circle, few years ago the whole drink, day in bed ill & repeat was a weekly ritual, then when I bought a house I quite liked staying in for the quiet life with the missus and boy, now though a night of getting rat arsed in the town boozers and escapades with ladyfolk sounds like some magical fun fantasyland.

These days a rare night in the old high street in the pubs with me dad is about the most exiting my weekends get, once maybe twice a year.

I think it's dependant more on your current situation in life more than anything.

I sound like a middle aged miserable old git, bring on the midlife crisis!

realised that going out and getting off my head and feeling shit after wasnt actually that enjoyable. far better things to spend my money on than destroying my liver.

prefer hanging out with my real friends, chat away, play some games and relax.

You can tell its a good night, when you wake up with no money and a sore head.

Its a bad night when you wake up with more money and a sore arse!

While night life aspect I still for going out with some mates, get drunk and have a laugh.

What surprised me was that when me and the missus went on holiday earlier in the year we both decided we wanted a quiet one...

It was really nice to be in each others company.




I'd still enjoy a night with some mates with or without getting smashed. Depends on the mood I guess.

Also it is fcuking expensive..

I used to stay up till 1...maybe 2am.

I'm now a rebel who goes to sleep before midnight.

It happened when I turned into a lazy weekend fart, sometime around the creation of the PS3.

Never really gone clubbing, can't see the point. I'd rather throw my money into soft drinks for the flat than alcoholic drinks in 1 night
