- Age is just a number, but not when it comes to clubbing. Make sure you have your ID handy, and be prepared to show it if you look younger than your grandma's prize steer.
- Dress to impress... or at least don't wear your rodeo outfit. Most clubs have a dress code, so ditch the ripped jeans and tank tops (unless you're aiming for that "rockstar on a bender" look).
