Are You Too Old To Go Clubbing? Science Has The Answer

Could be time to bin those glo-sticks - by MH Staff

Born in 1980? Or, gulp, earlier?

Sorry, but science has confirmed that you are officially too old to go clubbing.

Well, science of a kind.

A recent study by Curry's PC World (via Mixmag) has determined that 37 is the age where most people deemed it no longer acceptable to go clubbing, while 31 was established as the point at which people begin to prefer the living-room couch to the inner-city DF.

The "study" found that the biggest factors in people turning their back on strobe-lit clubs were not being able to “face the hangover” and not having to “arrange babysitters”.

According to Matt Walburn, Brand and Communictions Director at Currys PC World, the study “recognises the fact that there comes a time when we appreciate our home comforts more than a hectic social life and it can often be a drag to play the social butterfly at parties and nights out.”

Walburn added that it's “now almost impossible to get bored at home, with endless box sets and the latest technology, such as 4K TV, enhancing the in-house experience, so much, that it often surpasses its ‘outdoor’ equivalent.”
