I don't understand, either. The last time I went to a bar, it was to humour my former friends. I don't drink alcohol as I dislike the taste, not being in control of myself and it gives me cotton-mouth. There is nothing to do in the bars around my area except sit, drink alcohol and make pointless conversation with pointless people. That and get looked at. I just don't understand the appeal. I tried nightclubs in the city a few times, but same scenario - the music was bad, too loud to have a conversation over anyways, and all anyone was interested in where I was concerned was the way I look (or rather, how I looked then before I fixed it).

Well, I don't drink, don't like crowds, and am not that social so,

No, I don't like any of this stuff.

I have no interest in bars, night clubs and drinking it doesn't appeal to me.

Interestingly, I had thought on occasion about going to to a nightclub either to meet women, or to go on a date.

I do not drink, so therefore going to bars and nightclubs are not usually for me even though I have not closed the possibility of going to a nightclub. However, if I were to do so, I would probably ask a few questions first, such as whether or not the establishment offers non-alcoholic beverages, and whether not the restrooms are gender specific (men's and women's) or gender neutral (unisex).

I occasionally drink with mates or with my girlfriend in pubs, I find that enviroment as long as the music isn't too loud and we can have friendly banter/conversation to be a good time. Nightclubs make me feel extremely out of place and I can't understand why people enjoy them at all!

I love it, especially if I'm in a group that accepts me! but it happens rarely and I'm almost never invited to go somewhere :(

I know I would hate it so I would never waste my time there.

Drinking and bars are okay, I wouldn't know about nightclubs since I haven't been in any and the picture of one in my head is an expensive, trendy place with a lot of dance music. I find that people in bars are pretty friendly.

I can't drink without becoming ill, and I couldn't dance to save my life. I have, on a couple of occasions, gone to a bar by myself to see some live music, though, and I enjoy concerts. I don't want people to talk to me or try to pick me up, but I can sometimes enjoy the feeling of being engulfed in a huge swirling mass of people. The lights and smells and sounds and the feel of the bass pounding in my chest are overwhelming and block out all words and thoughts, leaving me just feeling. It's difficult to describe :) I've never taken LSD or other hard drugs, but I wonder if this experience might be comparable on some level..

I've been to a few night clubs that were very loud and it was therefore, very difficult for me to follow social conversations with people. However, I've been to a couple of bars that weren't extremely loud and was able to socially converse with people.

As for drinking, I really don't understand the idea of drinking to get severely drunk. When one is drunk, he/she will tend to do silly, dangerous, and regrettable things. Also, I don't think I'd want to interact with sloppy drunk girls at loud night clubs and bars.

I can go to bars that aren't too loud and drink normally with people, but I'd just avoid dangerous things that can happen at bars and night clubs.

Been in some, mostly since it was either go to bed at 8pm or go to the club/bar.

I cant dance with someone to save my life, and it was rather uncomfortable too. But I stuck it out, and may or may not have had fun in the end.

Can't stand them at all. I never was interested in alcohol either. I did go to clubs while I was in college but I only went to fit in. I went to a rave few times and didn't really like it. I don't go out much on nights anyways. I work full time and by the time I get home I'm too tired to hang out at night.

I like small bars, dim lights, great music and beer with one or two friends.

I hate nightcubs and overcrowded places with drunk people who push eachother around.

I don't drink alcohol and I find drunk people really annoying. I hate bars and night clubs. To me they're nothing but a loud, stinky, dirty place full of drunk people behaving like idiots. I really don't get how anyone can enjoy those things so much.

I'm also really tired of how important those things seem to be to 99% of people and how they try to involve them into everything they do. I find it particularly annoying when it's related to my work. Whenever the company gives the staff a gift, it's wine. Whenever the company invites employees out, the main goal is for everyone to get drunk. When the staff goes together on some trip, they insist on drinking the whole time and the main theme of the trip is drinking alcohol in various circumstances. Whenever there is some competition at work, the award is alcohol. Seriously, don't these people have any imagination or other things they can enjoy besides alcohol??? They almost never take into consideration that not everyone drinks, so those who prefer to stay sober inevitable get left out of the fun, and then get to be the only employees who are actually in condition to work on the following working day, so they get left with most of the work while everyone else is mysteriously "sick" at home or half-dead at their desk at work.

I will never be able to understand the drinking enough to get drunk thing. Doing something that impairs my judgement and makes me likely to do things I'll regret is just too illogical for me. I also like to be able to remember having fun after the fact. I do, however, like to drink socially without getting drunk. I also love wines (I'm a wannabe connoisseur) and trying new drinks of any kind.

I can't stand smokey environments because it aggravates my allergies as well as my voice (I'm a professional singer and teacher, and am always exceptionally careful with my voice), and I really hate having that sickly nicotine smell lingering on my clothes for days.

Bars have nothing at all to offer me. The fun of being around drunk people and watching them make asses of themselves doesn't last too long, and because I'm basically incapable of "picking up chicks", that part of it is worthless for me as well.

Clubs with dancing are actually pretty fun for me sometimes, as long as I go with some friends or people I know. However, I often find myself eventually feeling "lonely" for various reasons.
