Nights out and the consequences.

There are millions of people who go out for a night on the town.
Bright lights, loud music and cheap drinks.

A night usual consists of 3 stages.
  1. Pre-drink
  2. the Night Out
  3. Pre-hangover.
Stage 1 - This is usually in a friends house after a good meal.
  • Drinking games.
  • plenty of beer, spirits and mixers.

Stage 2 - After a short walk if your lucky, or a small bus/taxi ride you enter town. This town could be small or it could be a city like Liverpool.
  • go to a club, get in and get the 'first drinks' of the night.
  • depending on the night go to different clubs
  • change drinks - beer, shots, cocktails, alcopops.
Stage 3 - The night is coming to and end around 2/3 am you go looking for a place to get something to eat. ( Burgers, Chips, Kebabs are most enjoyed). Get home and sleep.

But in the course of the night you could be drinking in excess of 30 or even 40 units. More if your sick and continue drinking like serveral idiots i have seen on a night out.

An average 18-25 year old goes on a night out this bad twice per month. Many people go out on night outs drinking less in between these big night outs.  The recommended is 2.5 units per day for a woman and 3.5 for a man. (average from http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/) These push a person's monthly alcoholic unit consumptions to around 100 units a month.

Is this sensible?? Short Answer - NO!

If you want to continue with this, its fine by me, but I am going to letting you know the conditions you'll be facing on your life.

  1.  Most Common - Liver Cirrhosis
  2.  Heart disease
  3. Also has links to dementia and cancer.
So if you have children you need to think, will you be around to see them have children if you continue drinking like this??

Young people when you get to 30, do you want to be kept alive by 30 types of tablets everyday???

Make your choice now!

  1. Don't think that students really care about this. It's part of what going to university and being a student is. To get it out of your system for when you start a job and have to be a boring person.

  3. Another factually incorrect blog. 2.5 units a week! Try 3-4 units a day. http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/tips-and-tools/drink-diary/. There is the website you can find it on, so basic maths means you can drink up to 28 units a week.
    Also "These push monthly alcoholic unit consumptions to over 20 units a week" doesn't even make any sense. It is either monthly or weekly, it can't be both.

  5. Thank you for the corrections and info. Mr anon 1.

    I wrote this when i was tired and i forgot to check it.

    Mr anon 2, did u relise that with the daily units as pointed out by anon 1, that 2.5 is the average of 2-3 units for woman. so yes i did get it right but i missed half. So maybe you should check the source out too to update your knowledge.

    Also i dispise people who slag people off when they are anonymous, Its shameful.

  6. That is a shameful argument. You have put that it is 2.5 units a week, if you read the source, it says that is a day, not a week. So I have read my source and I am in fact correct.
    It's despise. Dispise isn't even a word.
