Friday night frights. The end of the work week has become become just another weeknight, with Americans now spending just 4% of their evenings with their friends, according to a depressing new study. Late-night socializing after midnight — once a defining part of weekend social life — has all but vanished as well, dropping below 1% of their time, according to a recent study by Neal Caren from the Department of Sociology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
