I'm fed up with it. We've had some students (I assume they're students) must be around 21/22 and all they do is go out and get drunk then come in at 3am falling about the place. I was never like that.

Me too... I'm so tired after a working day I don't even feel like a drink in the week, so bring it on being over 55 when I can binge again!!
psychosis, good on you - i have never been drunk either as i've never seen the appeal
Well I don't either... But sometimes it just sort of happens
I don't think many people actually plan to get sozzled
Oh they fist shake alright but it's usually the girl who does it.
How wrong you are my friend
There must be a reason why people turn to alcohol after a long day or week at work or on the day their benefits are paid? Tackle those social issues first, instead of implementing dimwit ideas of banning benefit claimants from being able to drink and smoke (that was announced in the papers today) or forcing workers to do more hours for less pay (as the Government said they will do to civil servants earlier in the week) to keep them out of the pub or away from the wine bottle.
I'm 21 in less than a month, I'm a second year student and I don't get drunk. I'll have one or two at New Years or if it's someones birthday.
I'm sorry you've had some trouble with younger people but please don't judge us all by your bad experience. A lot of people don't have a clue what their alcohol limit is. We aren't all bad :cool:
I generally only have a drink over Christmas period now and it is mostly at home. I can relax and enjoy myself rather than fighting through crowds waiting half an hour for a drink and having to be strip searched and questioned every couple of hours. There is also nothing to do when your in a pub/bar now apart from playing the rip off gambler machines. I would only go to a pub now to watch a international footy or rugby match and then go home but even this is at threat of not happening in future due to riots breaking out after the game.
The elephant in the room.
Of course young people are going to go out and have fun
Sadly, however, there does tend to be a stigma made against teetotallers and those who don't indulge in going out "on the lash". It can also be more difficult to meet new people considering our mainstream socialising method in the UK is so heavily based around alcohol and the outlets that offer it, such as pubs, nightclubs and supermarkets for people to drink socially at home.
I don't think I could ever be like that, and I'm 3 years older than you I'm not an outgoing person, and I don't like busy pubs or clubs, but I love going out with friends and getting drunk. Maybe I'm an alcoholic or something, but it's just something I really enjoy and I don't think I'll ever give it up!
I prefer being home by 9pm. I can't tolerate cold weather after its dark. I also live in a rough area and prefer being home early. I just don't like the pub/club scene. I prefer the library lol. Might seem sad but oh well.
I was drunk when I was younger a lot when out with mates, partly i think because i was so shy it made me come out of my shell a bit. I seldom drink nowadays in my mid30s, I may have a cider or lager at home occasionally but it's rare.
I work on public transport so see a lot of young people going out to town to drink on Fridays and Saturdays. But this has always been the case, and some young people will do it more often than others. People have always gone out, but what has changed now is that people get drunk before they go out so are drunk before they start the night.
It's not for me now. A nice cup of tea and the telly suits me fine.
