I've also noticed that most people I hangout with are either having/finding more house parties to go to or drinking most of their booze at home and then just buying one or two at the bar, or sneaking in a flask.

I dont know, why would I go to a place like The Drum and Monkey or a typical pub on a Friday night over somewhere like Wurst where its way more lively and fun? I guess if you want a chill night to talk but I dont think most people are spending their going out budget on chill nights anymore....
