Drunk me is still me

Online Lifestyle Editor, Amy Butterworth, explores her relationship with alcohol and muses on drinking in moderation My relationship with alcohol has been an awfully long and winding passage, much comparable to the swirly straw you always hope to get with your piña colada (just me?) However, my alcohol experience now leaves me with a bitter […]

The Freshers’ Week fixation on drink

Freshers’ Week: one of the most challenging weeks of a young person’s life. It asks you to get drunk and go out with complete strangers whilst simultaneously demanding you make as good a first impression as possible. Now it may just be me, but this somehow seems counter-intuitive; the drunk version of myself can hardly […]

What If: We drank like our parents?

You know those stories you hear from your parents about how good they were when they were teenagers? And how they don’t understand how you can consume so much vodka in one night, let alone the one of more bottles you get through a week? I always put that down to a little bit of […]

Students vs locals: whose fault is it anyway?

Here’s a fun little study break game: head over to the Exeter Express and Echo website, find any ‘bad news’ story about the state of the city, press Ctrl+F, type in “students” then scroll down to the comments. Now, I’m not saying every story will be followed by raging locals blaming the city’s woes on […]

Terrace Monday’s Review

Monday night saw the launch of Exeter’s newest nightclub, The Terrace, located in the extension of the Guildhall. Designed primarily as a stylish restaurant and bar, by evening the first floor is converted into a “Club Lounge”. With the aim to introduce a chic venue to Exeter’s nightlife scene, the Terrace standardly has an over […]

When beer gets political – a look at Oktoberfest

Binge drinking is a concept commonly frowned upon amidst civilised societies and yet for two weeks from September through to October (17 September to 3 October) an internationally-lauded event disregards these social rules and somehow avoids being negatively connoted. Oktoberfest is viewed internationally as a stereotypical German experience, attracting crowds upwards of six million to Munich, a […]

Loneliness – the students’ curse?

Many new students who come to university feel painfully dislocated from their familiar home. For me going to university never felt as if it was a conscious decision; I just found myself, like many others, just drifting towards what felt like the next natural step lying for me at the end of the summer holiday […]

A tee-totaller’s perspective on university drinking

Iam Russian, and with this national identity, I get many jokes about the excessive consumption of vodka. Initially, I surmised the British drinking culture as more civilised, at least because girls start with high heels and radiant make-up, even though most of them end up barefoot in the end. Here at Exeter University, drinking is […]

Immaculate Misconceptions: The truth behind ‘breaking the seal’

It’s a terribly frustrating situation the majority of us will have encountered before, and we will on many more occasions during freshers week and the rest of university. Perhaps you’re just settling down for a few pints at the Vic, or maybe you’re dominating the dance floor in Timepiece, but, after that first fateful trip, you’re […]

Culture shock: clubbing in Berlin

[dropcap size=small bg_color=”#21409a”]”[/dropcap]Okay, we should probably stop speaking English now,” my friend muttered. It was getting close to 3:30am, and we were about to reach the front of the queue for Tresor, one of Berlin’s infamous underground Techno clubs. Both dressed in dark jeans and chatting quietly to each other while we shuffled forwards, neither of […]
