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

Post Reply New Topic

I generally don't like them. I don't have friends to go to them with and going by yourself sucks, unless you're just going for a bite to eat. It's also too expensive for me to get drunk. I metabolize alcohol so quick, I can drink and drink and drink and not even get buzzed. Plus, in general, there's just nothing to do at bars/clubs so I find them boring.

I don't do nightclubs, and I've very selective about the bars I will go to. Mostly, I stick to the bar in the bowling alley where I bowl.

I imbibe.

My roommate is a dj and every so often I tag along with him and his friends. More often than not we have a vip table in the nightclubs he works at so I can sit back and observe. In that situation, I actually enjoy clubs because I get to feel like part of the popular crowd I guess. Having a few drinks loosens me up and I don't feel so out of place.

I HATE bars. Bars may be a bit less crowded and quieter, but I feel like there's more pressure to socialize. I have to talk more there...where in a nightclub I can just hang back and nobody notices.

Well, being under 21 means I can't go to bars and most clubs. But I don't think I'd like them, given my hatred of loud and crowded places. I'm not a fan of drinking either.

I quit drinking. Not for me anymore, I just smoke the reefer on occasion
Bars & Clubs bite. I worked in a bar for a long time and got sick of the entire scene. Clubs are sensory overload + overpriced drinks. Hell, even bars are overpriced. A pint of beer is like $10 if you tip %14; a 12 pack of half-decent cheap beer is about $14 here. See what I mean

I think this is something that i've always wanted to do more of. Theres something about it that i just like even when i'm alone and not enjoying myself. It's probably just associated with alcohol itself in my mind and therefore it has a positive rep.

weeeeee noob time GO

Bars/clubs suck. The alcohol is obscenely overpriced, and the atmosphere is mostly loud noises and stuff and it's just not fun. And if you're trying to meet people, I find that parties are a lot better/more easy to do so at than bars or clubs.

I drink in private a LOT, though. Grab a handle of Smirnoff for 20 bucks, sit in front of my computer shooting the s**t with people on Skype, and enjoy life, really. So yea.

95% of bars are horrible.

In my town there's only one bar I like, and even then it's only the beer garden which is only open from like april to october. When it's open I go maybe once a week, but over the entire winter I think I've only gone to a bar once.

Bars are okay, provided the music is not too loud.

Nightclubs are horrid. Too many lights, music is too loud, and I don't dance. never have, never will. Period. And it is an attack on the senses. And if someone talks to me, it feels like someone scratching a blackboard with his / her fingernails. I can't stand to talk to people over the music. I can't. Please, make it stop. Please! I wanna go home.

Parties... They are okay, up to a point. I don't dance. I don't drink more than three beers because if I get drunk, it is horrible. I just want to talk for a while. Then go home and be alone.

Concerts, I love them. The heavier the better, provided the singer is not a growler. Here in Panama, you don't have the chance to go to many rock concerts, unfortunately.

Ive been to a few bars, never been to a nightclub but going tomorrow night and Im excited. I think people mostly just like that stuff for drinking, dancing, partying and going crazy basically. If you go out with a group of friends...chances are high something crazy is gonna happen. NTs are entertained by that. People like to dress up, get all glammed up, look like hos. Theres a lot of meeting random people thing which really doesnt make a whole lotta sense for me and most aspies. You meet some random hot person, dance with them, playing the attraction game. Sure people do go to meet people but its not terribly serious, from what I gather. Like your not gonna go to a club just to look for some1 to get into a long term relationship. Its the thrill, dancing and hooking up and stuff.

Proper pubs are very different from the noisy bars/clubs that you describe.

I live in an Indiana college town right now, can't imagine there's too many "proper" pubs here to be honest

yep thats true...considering that most of us are on the spectrum or suspect that we are on the spectrum, it goes against every bit of what most aspies would like. Clubs/Bars have loud music, packed with people, drunk people going crazy, have dancing, people tend to be more judgemental of others based solely on body language and apperance. ex: "whats up with that creepy guy trying to hit on me?"

I dont think I need to breakdown every single aspect about why a bar/club would be unappealing to most aspies. For me, I like it to a small extent, mostly cause of the dancing and the music. It gets very tiring to be staying there to the late hours of the night, 2-3am, but its not something I do very often. Its a nice change of pace...because all I do is study/work all day long.

I'm in a southern illinois college town and the deal is the same

Tequila is 100% on point with the proper pubs, but they are not easy to come by in the sticks.

Have been there and done that with bars and clubs. Have never been in a nightclub though and don't think I ever will. Have never had any success in meeting guys and just not into the nightlife. Most guys are there to hit on girls so I don't like them as a place to meet men.
Bars and clubs are noisy places and I do drink but I'm not a big drinker and don't dance. If I have too much to drink I am inclined to get a hangover. Not good the next day and I spend half the day in bed.
I don't like being in crowded bars and clubs and don't like noisy environments like that and I don't like to go out on my own. Even if I had a group of people to go with I'm just not into that as a form of socialising.
I would probably like to go to a bar to have a nice meal and a couple of quiets. Other than that I am not into nights out on the town and like the quiet life.

I'd rather jump in front of a bus than go to another damn night club. I hate those places, they're what I imagine hell would be like if it were indeed real.
