I need to find something else to do on the weekends...

I have been going to the bar like twice a weekend for the past few months. It gets expensive AND gets old. I feel like since I started doing this, I really don't know what else there is to do in my spare time, solo or with friends. It's not necessarily that I get CRUNK every weekend, I usually have 3 margaritas or something like that. A fair amount but it's not a binge drinking thing as that leaves me feeling yucky. LOL... What else can I do with my weekends?! Have you ever 'caught yourself' drinking or going out too much?

Hi Maezee! These days, I never run out of things to do. Maybe because I've tried out all the possible things I can try out around me, from language and dance classes to joining singing contests to posting videos on YouTube. Playing the piano, mylotting, trying out iWriter, reading manga, hanging out with friends, etc. I suggest that you find a new hobby that'll get you from buying those margaritas that you're getting tired of, and perhaps, discover something new about yourself along the way. Wouldn't that be great? :) Don't be afraid to try something new! Life is too short. ;)

Hi Maezee.. My weekends are busy. I go to school on a saturday afternoon. After that, i go jogging in the park and then in the evening, i have choir practice. you might want to consider learning a new craft that would interest you.

Well, you can try going to the movies. That's something fun that you can do. You can try to see some friends and just hang out. You don't necessarily have to go out with them. You could simply invite them over for lunch or something like that. There are quite a few things that you can do.

I think I've mentioned this in another discussion of yours. See if there's an activities club (for singles) in your area. I keep hearing about this on the radio, saying it's not a dating site. It's just a venue where people of similar interests can plan and do activities together. It might be a better alternative than the bar scene.

I hang out with friends a lot. It's just what me and my friends do. Sometimes it's going out, sometimes we'll go to my place and have fun, often with playing drinking games. IDK, in the evening there's not much else to do here. You could go to the movies, but that's just as expensive. For the rest I wouldn't know...

Theatre? Cinema? Comedy clubs (drink AND be entertained!)? I don't know if you live in a big city or a small town, but you could start exploring any of the attractions in your area; museums, galleries, that sort of thing. Learn a language, take dance classes, learn a craft, take up an extreme sport XD

Theres so much to do if you have nothing to do during weekend like cleaning your room, do some laundry though if you want some fun with drinks without having too much expenses then stay at home and drink while watching movie or be busy online til you get drunk and sleep. If you want to go out then you can stroll out with your car nor in the mall and watch movie til you get tired. Or go out of town and have fun. As long as you have money then you can do everything and anything if you don’t want to use your money then stay at home and sleep and relax with your tv nor computer and you will not know the day was already ended. in my case so many things to do but only little time to spare so i rather want to sleep coz im busy with work during working days. and if i go out with friends nor party thn i do it if theres occasion and its seldom in a month

a pleasant day maezee, with reference to your main topic, perhaps, you can try to do a part time earnings. wherein you can do this during weekends so you can add up a little more to your savings. in addition, you can somehow develop some hobby for you to work on. who knows, you have some special talents in some field, like photography let say. hence in this way, you can somehow avoid the habit of bar hopping and liquor drinking. thus, if a liquor is always present in the body, it will somehow impair ones health. stay healthy friend.

I am in the same situation as you. All my friends and I pretty much do on weekends is goto the bar. The same bar at that so it goes very old very fast. We mix it up though and sometimes we play darts or pool at the bar. If you are trying to get away from that scene all together though there is other options. You can always go and bowling or maybe go see a movie with some people. Go out to eat and try out some new restaurants.
