I understand the argument that religious people would have against clubs since they mostly promote behavior that is viewed as sinful in Abrahamic traditions. The benefit id argue is that in western culture the kids are at least allowed to experience the allure. While yes some will suffer unfortunate consequences as a result, you may end up in a serious fight, you may make poor decisions like drive home drunk, you might experiment with drugs, you might hook up with someone and as a result of poor judgement face unwanted consequences. I think however, for the most part everyone that gets to experience the club life eventually figures out that it is not the best place to meet potential mates of the opposite sex. Not to say that you cant still enjoy going to clubs for other reasons but I think that is the primary one.
