How late do you stay out?

Usually spend a few hours at a friend's house preloading drinks to save money, leave at 11:30pm, if it's busy, we're back around 3am.
 
I don't really stay out late at all anymore. I'm usually in bed by 9 or 10 by the latest. My body clock usually wakes me up really early, like 5, so that's part of it.
 
When my ex would drag me to clubs/lounges, we would be out until 1 - 2 am. It was horrible. I was so bored. Thankfully, I don't have to do that anymore.
 
I go to bed about 1am most nights so try to get back by midnight. Can't fuck up that pre bed routine, I value 8 hours sleep too much.
 
When I was the clubbing age, we'd typically go to dinner and then arrive at the clubs around 10 or 11. Then, it was a trip to a local breakfast joint, and home right before sunrise. (unless you went home with someone)

Nowadays, I'm a homebody, but I stay up as late as I please. On some Saturday nights, I'm passed-out in front of Svengoolie at 930pm. On other Saturday nights, I'm playing a video game into the wee hours, or I'm walking the dog around town at 3am. Just depends on how I feel, and how my sleep schedule falls that day.

For work nights, I'm in bed by 11pm so that I can be up at 5 or 6am. I usually fall asleep to old TV shows.
 
Before I had kids, "You sleep when you die" was the mantra.

5 Kids later, "I'm gonna die if I do get any sleep"

I help run a hip-hop event 2-3 times a month and I own a private bar so those nights can be pretty late but on the regs, 1am is the latest if we see an 11pm movie or something.

I am close to 34 now, going out to clubs and bars is not really my thing anymore.

To be fair, I never loved it. Too crowded. Too loud. Too many people to annoy me by pushing or being drunk cunts. So I was kind of glad when it became socially acceptable to turn down invites to go out to those things.

Amen brother! I'm 40 now and even when I was 17/18 I was never bothered about clubs. Hell, the best times I had back then was going to the local pub with just a tenner and just staying there until closing time!

These days I like going out for a meal and a few drinks and being home by 11-12 at the latest!

We've got girls at work in their 30's who'll stay out until 4-5am just drinking themselves into a stupor. I've even known some of them not go out until midnight because a friend in the town's drunkenly texted them to go out. Who the hell only goes out drinking from midnight?!

EDIT: Thinking about it, the only time I've been out past 1am on the sesh since 2015 was because we were on a works do, and that was back in January 2016!

I feel like there's two approaches to clubs. People either get annoyed by the loudness and crowd and energy, or they embrace it, have fun dancing and sharing that "energy" with other people around them. I've always done the latter so I enjoy the club atmosphere. It feels like escaping to another place where there are just lights, music, physicality, and no other worries in life.
 
The longest I've ever done involved me returning to university to see some old friends. I got the Megabus from London to Sheffield early in the morning, arriving around midday. My friend text me pretty much the moment I got off the coach:

"Hey man, where the hell are you, the beer festival has started"

So I went drinking with some old coursemates (now PhD students) for six hours, pretty much pre-drinking for a night out with my best friend, a girl that is the biggest fucking hippy you'll ever meet.

I left my coursemates and went and joined her. The event I went to with her was amazing, as it always was; taking place in a warehouse till 6am, nothing I couldn't handle. Afterwards, outside, she told me:

"Ok if we go to this after party?"

Yeah fuck it, why not. It's her birthday weekend and it was a bank-holiday on the Monday. The after-party would fizzle out about 8am, so I thought.

Eight fucking hours later the after-party began to resemble something out of Dante's Inferno, my best friend being Satan: she showed no sign of letting up. I rang one of my friends that went to the beer-festival the day before and was like:

"I need to meet you. Can we go back to the beer festival, or the pub, or anywhere. Please. I need to get out of this fucking house".

So I managed to escape, just. My best friend text me about 6pm to let me know she'd pick me up in the taxi. We got take-away and FINALLY went to bed.

Girl is fucking nuts, but I never get a better night out anywhere else.
 
Usually until midnightish, unless I'm on vacation in Europe or something, then I'll stay out till like 9 am.
 
In my single days, I probably stayed out until 3-5AM once or twice a week. My fiancée and I occasionally stay out super late, but more often than not, we're back home by Midnight/1AM.

I can see that. I'm definitely the former; my club phase lasted all of maybe a year. I haven't done a night of clubbing in almost 20 years.

But house parties? I'm much more down for that. If you don't like the loudness/energy in one room, you can always go to another part of the house.
 
About 6am as long as i have people with me that are up for it. Only on Saturdays though, I'm not some kind of animal.

I used to go out around 8 until around 2 but drink a lot heavier. Since the UK got rid of its draconian drinking laws, I go out earlier and drink slower, but cam go all day and night.
 
For some dumbfuck reason everything closes around 2-3am in Atlanta.

So, about 2-3am.

Unless there's a kickback, in which case i'm good staying up forever if I know i'll have a full day to recover.
 
Fall asleep by 9:30 or 10 most nights during the week. Might be an hour later on weekends but usually around the same time. Don't like staying up late.
 
In Italy you meet your squad at 10 to start drinking; you hit the club at around midnight (right before they start charging you a cover), and leave anywhere between 4 to 6 (or even 7 sometimes). Depending on the time, you can either grab a kebab/pizzetta, or go straight for colazione, with a nice cappuccino and a pastry.
 
Back when I did go out with friends, (baby now) it would usually involve drinking and playing in bands. So I would stay out until the bars closed. 2am - 3am.
 
Last two times I went partying, about 2am. I don't feel the need to go out, but for special occasions like NYE or bachelor parties, I'm down to go out with friends.

Even in college I thought staying out too late was dumb because I felt terrible the next day even without drinking much.

Now, usually we don't leave home after working out, dinner, etc. around 8pm.
