Front, side, and back-loading: Patrons' rationales for consuming alcohol purchased off-premises before, during, or after attending nightclubs
Journal of Substance Use First Published 11 August 2009

To examine motivations for consumption of alcohol purchased off-trade when visiting on-trade licensed premises.

The findings of this research imply that off-premises alcohol consumption by night-clubbers is widespread and motivated as much by the structure of the night-time economy as by price differentials between competing sectors of the licensed trade.
