1. Get a student card

Many club nights in Europe offer special entrance fee concessions for students, and it is very common to have student-only parties where drinks are extra cheap.

Also you don't want your mood to drop while you're a queuing for the cloakroom, and it would be just another reason to make your beer jacket even thicker.

If you are taking a trip abroad or backpacking through different continent, why not attend a pub crawl or a bar crawl. The concept usually consists of taking part in an event organised by a local company/guide taking you various bars and pub all night long and it usually ends in a night club.
