Abstract: The analysis of research on the characteristics of human behavior during a fire, including the decision-making process and the resulting protective actions, is presented. Nightclub patrons often drink alcohol, which affects the ability to make adequate decisions and evacuate in the event of a fire. It has been revealed that people who are intoxicated face a noticeable change in their perception of the surrounding reality. To estimate the evacuation time, it is extremely important to take into account the characteristics of the nightclub contingent. Taking into account these factors has a significant impact on the justification of organizational and design decisions in the field of fire protection.
