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

How else will you meet girls?

Maybe I partied too much, but I absolutely raged in law school. Same with all of my friends and friend group. Had a 100 cup beer pong tourney for my 25th birthday. I still went out and partied after I graduated but not to the same degree. A bar most weekends with my wife. Club on New Years. I’m 30 now and still do beer gardens, bars, etc.

Not sure what the question is. If you like to go out and drink keep doing it. If it’s not fun anymore stop.

Nope don’t like the loud music and smoky bars. My party is always at the beaches in the Islands. White sand, blue water...anytime

I’m turning 28 this year and I still like going to clubs occasionally but only if we have a table lol....I am more for like lounges and kickbacks at friend’s places then just club hopping all the time

There’s no such thing as too old to party. If you’re getting up on time for life stuff like work and other commitments, what you do with your evenings and weekends is up to you.

Continue partying until you're ready for a change and not a second sooner.

No such thing.

I don’t know if you notice but 145k people are dead in the US alone this year. When this is over if you don’t party and do whatever the hell you want to do I don’t know what to tell you . And stop asking accountants how to live your life have you met these people .

Is your partying causing problems at work or at home?

There is nothing wrong with "partying" every now and then but what I'm thinking about is what are you doing at these parties? Molly? Blow? Just drinking?

Are you crashed-out in the morning because of what you did the night before and is it affecting you negatively?

These are the questions you need to be asking yourself. You asked the wrong question, OP.

Yes

Absolutely not! Late 20s are for when you’re old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway! (So are your 30s, for that matter... I’m 1 year from 40 so I’ll circle back next year and let you know if the same is true for your 40s)!

Like these are the kind of questions that make me question 26 yearolds.. 🙄

D

Definitely not old if you’re going out to socialize. If you’re still getting wild and shitfaced blacked out at that age... I don’t know about that. Lmao.

Late 40s/50s fine.

What does “going out” mean? Clubs look bad at any age and powders after 30 is a bad look I say, but you know? live your life. I mean there’s almost an ageist undertone in the idea that you can get too old to have fun.

I plan on being a lot of fun all the way to the nursing home

I went out partying till about 30 pretty heavy. Now it’s occasional but still love to go out

There’s no such thing as being too old. I’ve partied with my boss who’s 64 until 4am after an event before.
It’s down to you

You’re only in your 20’s, relax. You’re not too old to party.

1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
