Underrated parts of a night out revealed - from hearing favourite song to group photos
Recent research has unearthed that the most underrated gems of a night out are experiences like strolling into a pub just as your anthem starts playing, or unexpectedly nailing a group picture.
A poll of party-goers also found they love it when someone suddenly showing off superb dance skills, and that sharing cheesy chips is always a great way to end the night.
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.
Conducted by cocktail company Buzzballz, the research coincided with the launch of their 'BallzMobilez' in Clapham, London, where passersby enjoyed free tasters of the pre-mixed drinks and were invited to celebrate those often-overlooked magical moments that truly make a night out memorable.
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-quarters of people enjoy beginning their festivities with a beverage at home before heading out, making pre-drinks at someone's place the unofficial start to the night's adventures.
For 40 percent of Gen Z, stopping by an off-licence between pre-drinks and the actual bar adds another level of excitement to the night, with ready-to-drink cocktails being the preferred choice for these transitional moments.
The study also revealed that 35 per cent are fans of spur-of-the-moment nights out, since 38 per cent believe that unplanned events make the outing more unforgettable.
A spokesperson for Buzzballz, who will have their BallzMobilez positioned at Clapham Junction from 2pm on Saturday, remarked: "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."

Omaze is cashing in on Gen Z's despair – and my friends are falling for it
How many bedrooms does your dream mansion have? I don't think I'd bother with less than five. This is the sort of question I find myself asking as I am bombarded with inane advertisements for whatever McMansion Omaze is flogging this week. Sigh. A property lottery is a simple premise, and one that Omaze didn't invent, although it has successfully hijacked my social media to promote itself. Buy a ticket – for £10, for £25, for £50 – and if you're the lucky winner, you'll be handed the keys. But even without the notorious 'Omaze curse', which recently hit the former Miss Wales finalist, Vicky Curtis-Cresswell, buying a ticket (or, for goodness' sake, a subscription) to these lotteries is a complete waste of money. The odds were never in your favour. Any lottery is an idiot tax, but this feels a particularly egregious example. Maybe it is the excruciatingly irritating Instagram chirruping. Maybe it's the too-good-to-be-true gut feeling. Maybe it's the capitalising on Gen Z's despair of ever getting on the housing ladder with well-shot property porn. And Omaze really capitalises. It promised to donate 17pc of sales from what will eventually be Ms Curtis-Cresswell's house to Comic Relief. The company donated £4.1m in all. My simple maths suggests Omaze raked in more than £24m on that single draw. Given that it cost £10 to enter, you can get a good idea of how many tickets were sold. With average UK prices hitting £265,000, is it any wonder that even my own 20-something friends are being lured in by Omaze's cheap tickets and glossy Instagram ads? Some recently told me: 'It was New Year's Day and I was hungover.' And: 'It was 11pm, I was depressed.' It's hard to blame them. A young professional desperate to get on to an ever-more difficult property ladder will obviously chance their arm at every possible opportunity. Angela Rayner, the Housing Secretary, promised to have the answer, but her home building plans are substantially below target and face never-ending blockages. The next time you're tempted, think again. Donate the tenner to Comic Relief directly. Spend it on a middling bottle of plonk from Lidl – or five battered paperbacks from the charity shop – or one-and-a-half pints at a London pub.
