Anyway, it’s just me being the way I am. I have a lot of time and tolerance for weed and psychedelics but for various reasons I’m very anti-stimulant. That’s just my personal bias talking.

Yeah the buzz last for a bit that long.

Im not a weed smoker, only when i need to come down and sleep after a night on coke.

Yeah, fair enough. Besides obvious extreme outliers (heroin being the prime example) I don’t think any recreational substance should be fully illegal (let’s not forget alcohol was illegal in the States for a time less than 100-year. ago) but yeah. I’ve never been a fan of stimulants besides coffee/caffeine (including the caffeine what comes in energy drinks) and maybe the kola-nut. I know 90% of investment bankers have to depend on the white stuff to help them function and get through 100-hour weeks but I don’t like to be around people when they’re high on coke. Generally I get off the stimulant train at double-espressos.

I've always felt like a bit of a fraud in clubs like I'm trying to persuade myself I'm having a good time when actually I'd rather be anywhere else.

I can't dance, the music is normally ****e, it's too loud to talk, the drinks are crap, it's expensive, they go on way too late and they're full of nobheads

I haven’t actually been to a club since the end of 2019 (no joke) but when I did go I’d always try to get half my money’s worth by sticking around to the end/4-5 a.m.-ish. I share your general frustrations, ’though. My speaking voice is naturally very husky and low (I get well-spoken as a speaking-descriptor a lot but certainly not loud) so I never counted on being heard properly in clubs (outside the bathroom and smoking area). Even bars that I actively like have the issue of it being too loud for any normal conversation to flow from someone who has such a low voice so I don’t mind going to these places alone. I’m fairly reserved (which I think has been well-established on here by now) so I don’t mind riding solo at the best of times anyway but my voice being the way it is is just more incentive for me to keep to myself in those situations. I’m just not loud enough to thrive conversationally in those spaces. My voice sounds normal (because it is) in just-about any other setting but in noisy environments it’s just too deep and low to be heard easily.

A man after my own heart

Give me a few pints, a few friends and some good conversation in a pub any day

thesheriff443 · 15-06-2023, 07:24 PM

We would start in a local pub then go to a club under a hotel it had a bar on one side that had live bands

We would stay there until it was time to close then walk across to the club, no drink no drugs
Dancing sober talking to women getting off with women pulling women

Then out to my car drive to a kebab van then home unless I found myself in the company of women then I might end up at her place

Dancing for hours on E was magical. I really loved the music too so it went hand in hand

Me too

Friday and Saturday nights was club time for me and my gal pals. We started off in the local pub, loved it there and then got a taxi into the town and went to Crystals nightclub. Ah the memories, mostly drunken.

Alf · 15-06-2023, 08:02 PM

Many a night clubbing in the 90s, E'd up.

Alf · 15-06-2023, 08:04 PM

The confidence an E or two gave you was astounding. The most happy drug I ever took.

Swan · 15-06-2023, 08:11 PM

I feel deeply in love with women on a Sat night after taking E, come Monday i wouldn't even remember their name's. Good times.

smudgie · 15-06-2023, 09:12 PM

Went clubbing every Friday and Saturday night. Dancing was my drug.
Went to the pub 6 nights a week and most Sunday afternoons.
More or less from age 17 until 21, had a bit of a burn out and settled down somewhat, then met hubby and that was it, quite angelic since.

How old actually were you when you first started clubbing (if you don’t mind me asking, of course)?

16/17
Same as the pubs.

Anyway, that’s why fake IDs are common so it’s not exactly a rare thing, especially not back then. I lent out my provisional license to a buddy once or twice when I was 18 but I personally have never been such an outgoing person so I was more than happy to wait until I was 18, and even then I almost had to be dragged out kicking and screaming (I ended up in some flat-party for pre.-drinks and then it just sort of happened after a good dose of Dutch courage). I just drank WKD when I was 16/17 (milk-bars served me, and challenge 25 wasn’t particularly a thing in newsagents at that time).

I never had a fake ID but you would know which bars and clubs were more likely to let you in, there was always a few that would

Beso · 16-06-2023, 09:54 AM

After pub house raves was where it was at.

AnnieK · 16-06-2023, 10:50 AM

I can't remember ever getting asked for ID here when clubbing. I did always look older than I was and a lot of the people I went with were older too so I kind of got in the middle of them on the way in

When I was in the States it was a pain as I was 20 and they card you EVERYWHERE there. I turned 21 whilst I was there but used to use my International Driving Licence as ID and that fooled them into thinking I turned 21 a couple of months before I did as they read my birthday as 3rd January instead of 1st March due to the inverted way they write dates

I was only 18 when I went to the states, luckily one of the other aupairs I got friendly with(she was from Cork as well) knew one Pub in Boston where the main bar man (it was a tiny pub so he was mostly there by himself) was from Cork too so he would always lets us in

America’s a nightmare when it comes to things like that. 21 being the official drinking age is already absurd but over there they essentially operate on challenge-40, meaning basically any young-ish person gets ID-d everyone and without fail. A lot of my cousins (and I have a lot of cousins in the States, especially North Carolina) still have it real-tough. Me, my U.K. problem has never been anything much more than patronisingly being asked for my age by the shopkeeper when I was 18 and buying alcohol (they must’ve been part of the small body of people who thought I only looked about 16) or the same person asking for it over and over again. There’s a woman in a Home Bargains I go to sometimes who always, always used to ask me for I.D. despite remembering my face well (with me being quite a regular customer then) and insisted it were the shop’s rules, not hers, and that she were only doing her job. But the thing is either no-one else asked me for proof of age or even if they did they only asked once and stopped when they’d seen me enough times to remember me. It’s not like anyone ever de-ages back to being a 17-year-old once they’re 18+ so it makes no sense whatsoever to keep asking for I.D. when you know they’re old enough. You should’ve taken note at some point between the first 1027 times you asked.
