I am 24 years old and I work in a boring 9-5 office job Monday - Friday. This I can handle but every Friday night I venture into town centre and get drunk in nightclubs, I am starting to worry that this could be a bad habit, I still enjoy it but not as much as I used to. Thoughts?

Well hey you're 24, thats still pretty young, so of course you should go out and enjoy yourself every so often. But if this nightclub scene isn't even fun for you anymore then I could see how it could eventually develop into a decently bad habit. Perhaps you should start up a hobby to help make your time more productive? Do something you've always wanted to do, maybe even travel a bit. Here are a few sites that can help you get started with that.

You are acquiring wisdom with age.
I live in a town where young women go down to town on Fridays, get completely plastered and make spectacles of themselves in the street, going as far as peeing in full view of other revellers in the High Street. They are so out of their heads they do not realise how pathetic they look.
Surely you must have friends who you can meet and with whom you can enjoy a good evening without getting drunk. Change the routine. Go to the movies as a group, have a meal in a little restaurant. Meet another crowd.
If the reason behind all this is the boredom experienced in your job, start looking for another. At your age you must have accumulated enough Brownie points to get a good reference and go for a more challenging post.
Last and not least, have you no friend, partner or emotional ties? There may be someone else in the crowd you frequent who is also seeing the pointlessness of Friday nights and is looking for a kindred soul to escape with. Good luck!

Sounds like fun to me! Well, first off, unless your alcohol consumption is seriously damaging your health or your pocket, then good luck to you! Similarly, if the socialising includes sex, then as long as you are guarding your health then why not?
But, secondly, you end by saying you are not enjoying this as much as you used to. This signals that you are ready for a change. It would be a shame to go on with the same old thing simply out of habit. Having got as far as asking this question, I bet you have the imagination to think of alternatives to what you have been doing, and to try one or two of them out. Just try this and that until you find something else that more reliably lights your fire!
Third, maybe nothing is going to adequately address the gap in your life made by that boring job! So, perhaps, the solution also involves re-thinking your life in that respect too, and getting a different job?
Good Luck!

Yes do something different. Variety is the spice of life. Try other forms of enjoyment, even being spontaneous will bring some fun into the mix. Try also seeking out another fulfilling job so that maybe your week won't be as frustrating and boring. Its waiting out there for you, now its just up to you to go find it!

I like getting drunk too, but what is your reason?
I mean, I drink to have fun but some people just do it because they are not satisfied with themselves and their life!
Or maybe it is a matter of habit, you just get used to it.
But the thing you said, that you work in a "boring" office, means that maybe you need a change of environment.

Try finding a new hobby. There are loads of clubs and societies out there. Go to your local library to get some info and good luck!

Obviously you are can see for yourself that it's becoming a problem. Otherwise, you wouldn't be worrying about it! You need to stop and find something else to do after work. Find a hobby or something!
...And find a new job!

Nothing to worry about...We all need some breakouts from the boring routines. But if you're worry about it, then try another activities.
