Enjoying the nightlife in Europe. The role of moderation Recreational nightlife in Europe is diverse Authors: Amador Calafat, Cesáreo Fernández, Montserrat Juan, and complex. This study explores the behaviour Anu-Hanna Anttila, Ruth Arias, Mark A. Bellis, Karl Bohrn, Regina Fenk, and beliefs of young people who participate in recreational life whilst choosing not to use Karen Hughes, Andrea Viktoria Kerschl, Anna Kokkevi, Kristiina Kuussaari, substances or to do so only occasionally and Frank Leenders, Fernando Mendes, Joseph Simon, Maria Spyropoulou, moderately. Goof van de Wijngaart, Patrizia Zavatti The research is empirically based. Statistical and ethnographic data have been collected from a sample of 1,777 young people who were interviewed in recreational environments across ten European cities. The analyses focus on key issues in the relationship between young people and drug consumption including: gender differences, risk perception, management of finances, leisure, free time, prospects, control of risk and sexuality. We hope that this work will contribute to the development of new strategies for creating healthier attitudes among young people by enabling greater levels of independence and personal autonomy.
