    I guess this is a fairly common problem. I'm 25. I go out about twice a week. Once midweek usually and once at the weekend. Its got to the point where I don't even really enjoy it anymore, its just whats done. I don't particularly want to drink anymore, I hate being hungover all the time. But if I don't go to the pub, then I'm kind of at a loss. All my mates drink. Whenever I stay in I just end up feeling a bit lonely and depressed...

    I don't know what kind of advice I'm looking for. How do I stop drinking or change things up without losing all my mates?

    Are they your real mates or drinking aquaintances? the difference is huge!!!!

    You could find new mates, go paintballing at the w/ends. Go carting (it's great craic) broaden your horizons!

    Just cut back.

    I don't drink when I go out, I get bombarded with questions as to why I don't drink, but I stay strong and just say it doesn't agree with me.

    You could try and join a sports club or another club you might have an interest in.
    You could also try and encourage your friends to do events that you might like yo do.
    When you do go on a night out set yourself a limit so you don't get hungover.
