Why do a lot of people make a big deal about 2am last call time?

[M617]

Most cities shut down around 2am only a handful of cities that base their whole industry on tourism stay open late. Sure 3am is the perfect time but 2 isnt bad if you know how to plan your night. you can always take it back to a house party after the clubs shut down. unless your on vacation who wants to be in a bar at 4am? even coked out of your mind a club is only so fun its hard as fukk to do lines in

[the next guy]

beacuse its lame, its not night life is evening life.

 

[Snitchin Splatter]

I don't even hit the club till 1 sometimes. 2am is just too early man

 

[Numpsay]

There are after hour clubs for a reason. I've done 2am cities and 24 hour cities, didn't have much of a problem either way.

 

[The 2020 New Member]

24 hours is a gift and a curse. sometimes i should just stay my ass at home. they hell am i doing leaving at 3am to party? on the other hand, the party just be gettin started.

 

[Ricky Church]

shyt's wack. most people's nights don't start until like 11pm-12am (mine does anyway)

 

[IrishBrother]

Staggered closing hours is whats needed. Regular bars - 2am. Bars with a late night license - 4am. Night clubs - 6am. Early house opens - 7am.

Big cities throwing out thousands of drunk people, all at once, is a recipe for chaos. It just makes people drink too fast as they feel in a rush to get buzzed.

Late night opening would allow people to relax, have fun and drink at their own pace.

I work in the game part time and every night, every night without fail, I get a load of five foot nothing white girls come up to just before last call and order ridiculous amount of shots. Half and hour later, their eyes are glazed over and the wolves are circling.

shyt i remember when i was overseas club opens 9 pm closes at 6 am or 9 am depending on the day

club wouldnt even jump off till 3 am

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

yeah 2 am is trash especially on a friday night.
- lets say u get home around 7-7:30. Than what if you want to eat, go work out, take a nap. By the time u do all that its prob 11:30 or so. Than to take a shower, find clothes, drive over to the spot, wait in line its prob past 1AM.
Sat it might not matter all that much though.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

for the same reason people at folks talking about "insomnia" at 1am..

people dont start leaving out til around 10, get to a place around 11..and the shyt don't really get crackin til after 12.

shyt like that is why house parties/byob events will never get old....atleast at those , you only gotta worry about having enough to drink for yourself...and you don't gotta worry about shyt like bottle service


i figure, when you get in your 30's you're not as focused on that type of shyt.. cause you know what you want to do, and you're not gonna really waste all that much time doing it.

Your absolutely right. I work in an ER and without fail every Friday and Sat night at 2:30 - 3:00 you see tons of trauma, form Motor vehicle accidents with drunkards, or fight victims with drunkards, or drunkards who got robbed its sickening. Dumping tons of drunkards on the street at the same time is a mindblowingly stuipid idea.

 

[flusterose]

beacuse its lame, its not night life is evening life.
