Weekend partying and night outs, instead of decreasing stress, have been known to increase stress. This is because you may lose a sense of control and thus be more vulnerable to injuries or alcohol poisoning if you are drinking excessively. It also increases risks of acquiring STIs - chiefly due to engaging in unprotected sex or using unhealthy means to administer hallucinogenic drugs, such as sharing needles.

This also causes intense damage to your physical health and overall well-being; affecting organs such as the liver thereby often leading to increased risks of cancer or cirrhosis.
