I'm 40, haven't been in school for 18 years, and "I can't, it's a school night" is a common refrain from me when my friends try to get me to stay out drinking. Everyone understands, no one argues (well, sometimes they'll plead one more time). So, I will not be updating my phrasebook for correctness

    I've been out during school nights. I've never been out during work nights. Being hungover and overtired at school vs being hungover and overtired at work are two vastly different things. I have the energy to sit in class and not listen 100%, but pretending I am fine at work and actually do work that I am required to do? That's a whole other difficulty level.

    (Drinking is legal from 16 years, and students graduated at 19 years.)
