    Ok bit info bout me,im 26 soon ,and given up on pubs about few months ago before that it would be once or twice a month,and before that,it would be every weekend drinking until barely could speak and nightclub at the end of the night to finish of going home to puke my guts out,and feel like $hit for the rest two days.I also quit smoking few years ago ,now im healthy as a bull,started exercising every week for the last 6 months,and only drink i would touch is a can or two sitting at home while watching a movie during weekend.Al tough im happy that i quit all those nasty habits ,but in social part when weekend comes i dont even want to go out because of the rip of prices and then feel guilty the next day for over drinking,so instead i stay clear from the pub scene,But at the same time im nothing to occupy my life in such evenings that would involve social interactions without booze clouding my mind,so how do others spend their time on such occasions :) peace

    Not entirely sure I've read this right, but are you looking for alternative ways of socialising at night?

    - Inviting friends over to the house for music, food, drinks (non-alcoholic for me, but I don't really mind what they drink), movies, games etc.
    - Restaurants
    - Cinema
    - Bowling, etc. Sounds a bit weird maybe, but a lot of bowling alleys are 24hr or at least late-opening.
    -Concerts/gigs (when possible)

    :)

    something like that,just with possibility to meet more people,as cant stand the overcrowded pubs with music blaring at 130db,where only place to have a conversation is a stinky smoking area without having to shout your lungs out,and then yet you have to have few yourself just to make sense of chat about something stupid :D maybe the house parties isnt that bad of an idea.
