“Let’s go to a nightclub” those five words you spend your life avoiding. However, no matter how hard you try, you can’t avoid it forever.

Surely it can’t be that bad? WRONG. It’s far worse.

1. Entry Fees If you’re lucky, you’ll get a free shot to go with it. As if that makes it all better.

2. The annoying unwashable stamp on your hand No worries, people will just have to think you don’t own a shower for the next couple of days. Thanks for that.

3. Losing half of your drink to the dance floor Oh well, it’s not like you paid a small fortune for that. You’ll probably slip over on it later anyway.

4. The worry your ears might explode Quite loud in here, isn’t it?

5. The decision to get drunk to make the experience a bit more bearable Looks like you’re in this for the long haul…to the bar.

6. Inevitably losing your friends Like losing your mum in a shop, but far more intense…and with deafening music.

7. You're desperate to sit down... But there's nowhere to sit. Best just prop up the bar instead...

8. The photographer wanting to take some photos and then makinig you pay for the privilege No thanks mate, you’ll probably just take some pictures on your phone.

9. Bar prices How much?! Do you get silver service with that?

10. The realisation that you’re going to lose your voice for the next few days There’s only so many times you can watch your friends shouting ‘WHAT?’

11. Those hideously sticky dancefloors Kiss goodbye to the soles of your shoes.

12. Queuing at the bar Absolute free for all. Good luck getting to the front.

13. That amazing feeling of leaving It’s like leaving a sauna. A stressful, painful sauna.

14. The quest to find some room to breathe Surely there is a bit of space somewhere. Oh, next to the toilets. Nice.

15. “Where shall we go next?” Those dreaded words. Quick, jump in a cab when no one is looking!
