A new survey reveals that some of the most memorable parts of a night out are often the most spontaneous moments, such as witnessing some top-notch dance moves random compliments in the loo
Recent research has revealed that the most underrated moments of a night out include walking into a venue just as your favourite song starts playing, and capturing a spontaneous group photo that turns out surprisingly well. A survey of party-loving Brits also highlighted the joy of witnessing someone bust out unexpectedly great dance moves and sharing cheesy chips at the end of the evening.
However, the study identified major buzzkills such as long queues to enter bars or clubs, drama within the friendship circle, and forking out for an extortionate taxi ride home. It was also found that 31 per cent of Gen Z revellers are particularly peeved by forgetting their ID and being refused entry.

The research was carried out by cocktail brand Buzzballz, coinciding with the debut of its 'BallzMobilez' in Clapham, London. Passersby were treated to complimentary samples of the ready-to-drink cocktails, as they were encouraged to embrace the often overlooked moments that make a night out special.
A spokesperson for Buzzballz commented: "Every night out is different, which is why we love them, and the best ones are spontaneous. When putting on your glad rags, you never know what is in store for you and that's the beauty of a night out."
The research revealed that for most people the real excitement of a night out is once everyone arrives at the venue. Still, for 13 percent, the best part is actually the buzz of getting ready together at a friend's place.
In fact, three out of four people like to kick things off with a drink before they even leave the house, making pre-drinks at someone's place the unofficial start to the night's adventures.
For 40 percent of Gen Z a pit stop at an off-licence between pre-drinks and hitting the bar adds an extra layer of fun to the evening with ready-to-drink cocktails the go-to pre-drink during these in-between moments.
‌
The research also found that 35 per cent favour an impromptu night out, as 38 per cent feel unexpected moments make the night more memorable. However, many admitted that being too cold or wet could put a damper on their enjoyment.
A spokesperson for Buzzballz, whose BallzMobilez will be stationed at Clapham Junction from 2pm on Saturday, commented: "Spontaneous nights out are sometimes some of the best, and let's be real, half the night is spent getting to the good bit.
"It's important to keep the good times rolling, even if you're not quite at the party...yet."
