Night life in Hamilton

Whilst out partaking in the night life of Hamilton, the numbers of younger people was astonishing. Visiting Hamilton’s bars and clubs on a Saturday night really shows the range in ages that visit the many bars and clubs in and around Victoria Street. The range in ages from older teenagers through to older parents demonstrates that Age is not just a number, but it can also be youthfulness and depending on the situation, can depend on your stance as a tourist. Youth can be socially constructed as well as an age number. Age can also be social rather than just biological. Meaning although a person is of a particular age, if they act and wish to fit within a particular social group they will act that age in order to fit in.
