Sometimes we hang out with friends on weeknights. It's hard to coordinate things on weekends because two of them work police/nursing shifts so they don't always get weekends off. But it's almost always just hanging out at one of our houses or going out to dinner, so it's nothing that's too energy-consuming.
We went to a concert last night (and were standing the whole time, getting shoved around in the mosh pit) and didn't get home until after midnight. MH is off for the summer and I'm at work right now ... the show was good but I'm tired.
a few times a month, but it can vary. dh travels a lot so if he's on the road i might go out a little more, but when he's home i like to spend the evenings with him.
Only you can answer if it's excessive or not. I'd be exhausted if I went out three times during the week, but I am a homebody and I get up at 5am.
I probably do a HH or something similar once a month. I'll go out to a store, run errands, grab a coffee or do something else with DH and DD 1-2x per week.

8-5 M-F here and I only go out on weeknights a couple times a month at that. Tomorrow night we're going to a "yappy hour" which is after work networking at places that you can bring yoru dog. Tomorrow night's is a the ice skating rink - dogs will get booties!
I like my evening routine on the weekdays but once in a while I'll go out.
I think it is a bit much but I would rather spend my evenings at home with H. We don't work the same schedule and we both work weekends so we rarely get a whole day off together. I enjoy our quiet evenings.
Unless it is related to the membership organizations I am a part of, I rather go home. That sounds so tiring. The only exception is Thursday nights when I have Fridays off (yay 9/80 schedule)
I try to limit it to once a week, but it doesn't always work out that way. Honestly if I had my way my answer would be "never" but I'm often busy or out of town on the weekends so sometimes weeknights are all we have.
We're going for sushi tonight and I'm meeting some friends for drinks tomorrow night after dinner. Thursday I have a massage appointment and Friday I'm going to be out of town. So it is a much busier week than I prefer, but not that out of the ordinary unfortunately.
