London - If you’re fed up with being let down every time you try to organise a drink with friends, you’re not alone.

The average person makes 104 social arrangements every year – but will only actually turn up to half of them, according to a study.

One in three of us actually admit saying yes to every invite - whether we intend to go or not.

The majority of Britons – 49 percent – claimed they were usually too tired to go out, but a further 36 percent said they would simply rather stay in.

One in ten cancel a night out if their favourite TV programme is on. Topping the list of excuses, in the research for sweet maker Mentos, was sickness - 60 percent said they have used illness as a way out of an arrangement. Other excuses included “I double booked” and “the children are poorly”.
