I think I require drugs not because "its about the drugs" but because it is the whole package... great music, friends, people, love and the ability to dance all the pent up energy and stress away.
I could go without but I wouldnt be able to dance as long and would be missing the euphoria. Dont get me wrong I can be happy and fun without, but I see clubbing as something I need to maintain sanity in day to day life. It is a huge release of energy for me.
I consider clubbing to be a waste of time without the full package. If I cant have "the best night ever!" Id rather lie on the beach all day and have sex all night = the same de-stressing result.
I also could not take a pill and stay home, I need the whole experience. (I have tried it a couple times before and ended up giving up and going to a club!)
