Everyone loves a bit of fun on their night out, and I personally find this totally acceptable. Keep the drinks flowing and the lights off and get drunk and dance. Do whatever drugs you want, blah blah, we’re young, you know the drill. Yeah, going out is great. But come on boys, how fucked are you when you’re talking to a girl? You’ve gotta be smart if you’re too drunk and pick one that is also too drunk so she won’t care what you’re saying.
A recent study by VicHealth and RMIT University concluded that there are four types of drinkers out there (or at least in Victoria). Embodying Australia’s huge drinking culture, it comes as no surprise that not only are there a lot of drinkers in Oz, but drinkers can be categorised into subgroups. Yep, us Aussies certainly love slowly destroying our livers.
The toilet. Everyone has to go sometime, and many people have certain phobias and practices regarding going to the toilet. I’m not talking about the obvious like wiping your bum after giving birth to Mr Hankey, but I’ve heard so many people say how they don’t use public toilets or toilets at work and hold on until they get home (how do they hold it all in for that long?!). Imagine how these people feel about nightclub toilets!
Sometimes instead of going clubbing, I’m looking for a fun and varied Saturday night. Yes, I love dancing, but occasionally I get sick of sweaty strangers rubbing up against me all night. I still want to go to the city, but I want to do something fun instead of going clubbing or even before going clubbing. Seriously, why does no one want to do anything fun when they’re drunk anymore?! They’re all getting lazy!
When planning a good night out, it is vital one always be aware of a certain nightlife nemesis that may strike at any given time. The trick in conquering your enemy is to know them. Here are a few common bad guys known for roaming the nights where liquor is flowing and fists are pumping.
When starting a new job, it’s crucial that you build good relationships and one of the best ways to bond is by going out for drinks with your fellow colleagues. However, there are a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to going out with your new mates.
We all have our limits when it comes to alcoholic drinks. Knowing when to stop drinking is mandatory before you embarrass yourself, harass others, throw up or get yourself into trouble. Sometimes it is best not to cross the line between tipsy to drunk and disorderly. In the interest of safety and respect for the law, it is best to have at least one semi-sober friend too.
Yet another inaugural fail in our series of articles focusing of the alcohol induced stupidity that happens on any good night out on the town. If you want to submit a video, post in on YouTube (as you do) and send the link to matt(at)barsandnightclubs.com.au. Enjoy!

Bouncers seem to have a bad reputation. Most of us have an anecdote that depicts bouncers in a less than flattering light. But when you think about it, they’ve got a pretty difficult job and have to put up with a lot of shit. Whereas there are cases of bouncers being completely in the wrong, if we were to take on their role, it wouldn’t be long before we began to empathise with their position.
