Going out and not getting wasted?

Do any of you go out to nightclubs, not get wasted and still have a good time?
I don't know, it's not necessarily the getting so drunk I'm passed out part, but I love letting my 'hair down' to use an expression, and drinking a bit helps this. But then I'll end up dancing much more, meeting more people, having a better time, and staying up much later...
Is there any way to kind of do this in moderation? Because the late nights are starting to catch up with me. But when I've not touched anything or not much I get a bit bored and sleepy and want to be in bed by 11 - and seeing as we're not often in the clubs by then it's a bit of a waste of time.
I still want to go out with my new uni mates to be 'involved' but I need a bit of a rest!

Yeah. Just not too often or it becomes dull watching your mates getting mashed when you are stone cold still.
The opposite is also true. I worry that someone people cannot seem to enjoy themselves unless they are, in some way, out of their tree...
I'm not sure what you're after though? If it's the lack of sleep that's catching up with you then ok not drinking will help a bit, but getting more sleep is the bit that's going to make a big difference.
It's perfectly possible to have just as good time, you can relax into things and drink cola so your wide awake.
haha thats my plan for every thursday and saturday night yet somehow I always end up off my face...
I'm getting better generally with alcohol, even from a few months ago. Last night for example, I decided I'd had enough and just went home - never been able to do that before.
Good on you man,. If thetre's girls around, I always gert too fucked, which sucks., lol
never watch your mates get mashed, just go and dance with some random people and pull someone. haven't gotta be drunk or stoned for any of that
Some nights if im not quite in the right mood tho, i end up bored and cant change it and get into the night so end up going home.
Thats prob just me though.
But, if I'm with good company, you can still have an amazing night. When I'm sober, and I see all the drunken fools around me, you do feel a bit embarassed at their state, but tbh, I'd be in that state if I had been drinking.
I can have a good time and let my hair down in my bedroom with some decent dance music, big speakers and diet coke
But admittedly i dont think i would enjoy a night out with out at least 1 or 2 pints, but thats simply because i like a good drink when i go out. if nothing else, just for relaxation purposes. I do like to be "drunk" but theres always a line and the night is a bust if you cross it.
I can have a wicked night, i can have a panic attack, I can get sooo bored watching my mates get merry, then drunk, then WASTED.
think moderation is the key...but how often have you thought, shit, Im waaay too drunk for my liking, but then gone and drunk more?? know I have
I sometimes think to myself I won;t drink when I go out but I always give into the lure of £1 vodkas :rolleyes:
Tell me about it!
the disparity between the prices for non-alcoholic drinks is quite shocking though:
2 litre bottle of coke: £1.09
1 ordinary glass on campus: 75p
1 ordinary glass in a nightclub £1.60 or something silly
I did order tap water theother week, the bar guy gave me a very dirty look
I'm happier around people on pills sober than drunk people... Drunks piss me off.
