I think around 45 is when you start to take it easy

Crap, I missed that memo.

I’m 41, with two kids. We still party like college students, but can afford ubers and better alcohol. Well, until Coronavirus hit.

I am in late 40s and no kids, so before this pandemic crap I would fly to Rio or Madrid or London or LA and would party there. And yes, you go to better clubs and drink better stuff cause you can afford it, but back home it’s mostly home life and working out

You are never too old to party. Just as long as you show up to your job 10 minutes early everyday.

Just go to Burning Man. Age is just a number. Do whatever you want when you please because you only have one life to enjoy it all. What people think shouldn’t matter. Do what makes you happy - whether you have kids or not. We all need a break - once in a while or frequently! And now, anything goes. Just like your daily wardrobe.

I'm in my 40s and my wife and I party hard and act like sex freaks any chance we get.

Now if the kids would just grow up and move out those chances might increase.

I’ll be 29 in 2 months. Loud clubbing isn’t my vibe anymore. When I see friends, I wanna be able to hear them and catch up. So I prefer a quality craft cocktail, not a $15 rum and coke, cuz I’m still a terrible bartender. So I like sitting at the bar or a high top with my friends sipping on a craft cocktail, preferably earning some kind of rewards points. I went with my college friend to a club 2 years ago and I hated the ridiculousness of it: waiting in line when it was full, but they suddenly waved us through, loud music, and overpriced drinks. It did make me feel old! Lol.

Stopped clubbing when Southside closed down. RIP. I could get in skipping the line and loved the vibe! No other place I went later compared, so it was just bars and house parties till this COVID thing. I’m 31, so by the time clubs open up I’m not going to be interested in going. I’m getting married and thinking more about having kids than seeing kids puke at a bar... But I for sure will go to the “grown up” bars (Rosebar, Soho Grand, etc)

When I was in my 20s I was out almost every single night until about three or four in the morning, quick nap and then shower gym and back into work. In my 30s I slowed down a little bit but we still had amazing fun. In my 40s it was more about fine dining,fine cocktails, fine whiskie rather than going out to nightclubs, but in my 50s nowI love going out dancing, still with the fine dining and cocktails and just generally enjoying life to the full hilt. I hope when this virus is over I can resume having fun out. In the meantime, the zoom cocktail hours and virtual dance parties are tremendously fun.
