What do you think of bars, night clubs, and drinking?

Post Reply New Topic

Bars and night clubs are not all bad, but then, I have not been to a bar since before I turned 21

Same with drinking. I'll have a beer occasionally. I drank heavily for awhile, before I was of legal age to drink, and I no longer find being drunk appealing.

Loud scenes are mostly about bouncing energy around and just going wild.

I like to be drunk because it makes me behave senselessly enough for other people to start liking me.

people are idiots in bars and such...i just stay at home and drink there

I like drinking, but in a moderate way and only quality stuff, preferably homebrew.

I hate going out, though. I hate how the music is always loud AND some sort of crappy pop music (most anything that isn't country western, classical, or quality jazz I consider pop music). If I meet with someone, I want to sit down 1-on-1 and have a deep conversation. Yelling over music makes me tired, my voice hurt, and frustrates me.

I did go through a phase many years ago where I went clubbing a lot. I would typically go alone, drink, and dance to the music. I'd just shut my eyes and move my body and ignore everyone else in the place. That got boring after a while and I stopped doing it.

Every now and again someone would find me (a stranger) and take me home with them, but I think that in most cases I completely confused them once they got to know me a little. It made for some memorable evenings, though, and I mean that in the strict sense that I remember these times easily, not in the way that hints at fond recollection or something.

I love good beer (Colorado microbrews are some of the best on this planet), and I enjoy going to small, more chill bars when I'm with friends. Otherwise, I hate the drinking scene (especially uber-loud nightclubs and college parties), and I hate hard liquor since I always get the worst nausea-driven hangovers (especially tequila, my stomach always punishes me for that...). The aforementioned annoyances are bearable when I'm already pretty happy, but if I'm even remotely sober, you better start feeding me drinks if you want me to have fun :/

I don't like bars or most clubs but I have dragged myself out to some huge electronica musica parties or whatever people call them, I always thought it was unusual for me but it's not that social because the music is so loud you can't hear anybody, and I like the music and the colors.

I don't drink while there either.

Bars, nightclubs, etc. are a major turnoff for me. They are nothing that I desire. They represent the complete opposite of who I am.

I stay away from the bar scene. I've worked in a few bars and spent thousands of dollars in the past on forgettable nights that provided me with nothing tangible. I now tend to think of most bars/clubs as 'islands of misfit children', probably because the few times I end up going (I don't drink, just to humor friends is my reason to go) I see guys who I went to high school with who are still doing the same s**t and have zero growth as people. And are all going for 17-19 year old girls who don't know any better that girls the same age as these guys want nothing to do with them

bars = loud

night clubs = loud + cluttered

drinking = yes please

Pubs however remind me of laid back Saturday nights, throwing back a couple of cold ones while watching folk or blues bands with the manager and the band's road manager. Relaxing.

:roll:

How does illogicality even pertain to something that isn't meant to be serious and uptight in the first place? Sounds like yet another corny "We're so superior and speshul!" attitude.

I do not think much of the bar / club scene. I have never met anybody at a bar. The clubs I have been to have so many more men than women. I don't like the atmosphere and the crowds. I hate the noise. In many of them, it is too dark to see anything and they have these annoying lights that are blinding. I hate all of the cigarette smoke, but I haven't been to a bar since they banned smoking. My tastes in music are rather eccentric.

Drinking does not appeal to me. It just makes me quiet and sleepy and messes up my coordination. It does not make me relaxed or uninhibited. It has been years since the last time that I took a drink.

I'm ok with the party scene (as long as I'm able to go outside/get away from the loudness when needed), but I'm not a huge drinker. I'm actually going to a club with friends tonight for someone's birthday, just to dance and such. Most of the NTs I know are okay with the party scene, but also enjoy doing other stuff too (going to a movie, museum, play, etc). They don't do bars and nightclubs 24/7.

As bad as it may sound, I love drinking. Love it. I've never been to a night club, so no opinion on that. As for bars, I usually only go if I'm invited to play with a local band. I love, love, LOVE playing music at a bar. It's so fun. Especially when the crowd loves it. Though I don't love the recognition. I try to keep my school life and personal life seperate. Quite hard when I'm recognized by people who also happened to be at the bar at the time of me playing who also go to school with me.

I love the music scene especially smaller gigs at pubs. We don't call them bars here. Well we sometimes do but bars have less tables and couches and only take up a small side of the room. Pubs have this whole beautiful atmosphere. As beautiful as sticky floors, smokey air and stinky sweaty patrons go.
It's only the real socialising I do. Go to a gig with friends or meet up with people. Or somehow talk to someone for just a bit while waiting for the band to start with a beer in one hand, camera in the other. Even when lining up for drinks someone might talk to you. Not to mention it's so much easier to say hi or talk to a few band members. That's what I used to do in pace of having my own friends. Just talk to the guys in the band.

I enjoy drinking too. I can be fine with having 2-3 drinks, maybe I'll have more if I'm really enjoying myself. I'll stop at six. I don't want to become wasted and end up embarrassing myself during my favourite band's performance. Drinking is a part of the culture here. Of course there's the violent drinking culture too but I settle for the laid back-happy-chatty-drunk culture.

It's really fun to just get up there and play a couple tunes, it doesn't matter what instrument. It's a great release. As a result I get to meet really cool new people, people like me who just want to get up there and live the music.

I got to play a song by my favourite band, Glosóli by Sigur Rós, with a bunch of guys who loved Sigur Rós almost as much as I do and dear God I think I died and came back to life. I think I'm happiest on stage in the beauty of music.

I hate night clubs hot stink unsanitary conditions. How can people withstand these conditions! I absolutely hate night clubs! On the other hand I'd rather sit back at my local air conditioned bar play the pokies and gamble for a while, have a beer or basic spirit and sit back and relax and enjoy the laid back atomasphere.
