I think extensive clubbing is a popular trend with twentysomethings today in a lot of countries.
I live in a (newly) trendy neighborhood in New York with lots of nightclubs for young people and the places are packed with young people every night until 4 in the morning. My friends in Munich tell me the Oktoberfest has been totally overrun by young drinkers partying all day and night and the families with young children are getting annoyed that they are being crowded out of their hometown festival in the afternoons. I think more young people today party extensively than when I was their age.
In Britain people do have more vacation than in the US. When I lived in Europe, the British got a standard five weeks vacation each year. That contrasted sharply with the 2 week average vacation in the US.
