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

33 here and still go out to bars with my husband and our friends. Do all day brunch drinking. Go to the pool and drink. Mostly day drink now which is clearly the superior time to drink. Have a pretty big group of friends who all do the same and ages range from 22-48 so really I don’t think there’s an age cut off. Personally - you do you and you will find other people who will do it with you. I should also mention that I’m in NYC and I think people typically drink a lot more here as adults than other places.

Age is just a number. Don’t let it define you or set boundaries on what you can or cannot do

Go out and live! As long as going out doesn’t affect your work or impact your life negatively, I say bottles up!

I went to my first rave at 36. If you are responsible and growing your bank account, life is supposed to get more fun, not less!

F That, I’m 37 (don’t look it thanks to my wonderful Latino genes 😎) and still go out. Do you and enjoy life. Screw what others think.

I started going to raves and festivals when I was 26.
I guess that makes me a late bloomer but now I'm 30 and don't think that's too old to live it up! I also don't plan to have kids for another couple of years so gotta make the most of that time

26?? I’m turning 30 this year and I still like to go out to bars and shake my tail feather. Do you and take care of your business. That’s my view 🥂

Go to a tech conference in Vegas. You’re never too old.

Buddy, don’t you care about what others think. I got tired of partying 2 years ago and I’m 29. Now I enjoy staying home and playing chess, going out to dinners etc. I also deal with hangovers pretty poorly, and alcohol & such ruin my whole following work week. It’s just not a priority for me. But I wouldn’t skip it because other people think it’s “too old”.

Lol......26.......lol

No.

You can never be too old to party. Just make sure you handle your liquor and avoid hang overs as much as possible.

Hell no dude.

TBH, I couldn't imagine being 40 and being at a night club at 2 AM. That seems sad to me.

I got married at 32, felt like the appropriate age to stop partying like that but that's me personally.

I wouldn't people in their early to mid 30s parting.

No magic number. Some people get wasted Thurs-Sat night at bars with their friends and do drugs well into the late twenties.

Others start to slow down after college. Going to casual bars and drinks, having friends over. No more clubs, no more weekly blackouts.

Aka some hang out and avoid responsibilities and some grow up.

You’re never too old to party as long as it doesn’t affect your work or life negatively.

You’re 26. You’ve got plenty of time. Literally anyone who judges you, especially at your age, was never a friend to fun at any point in their life to begin with, and feel sad for them

No as I’ve got older I’ve realized Bottomless brunch is where it’s at.

When you start getting 2 day hangovers, it's time to hang up the shot glasses

Never too old to party, whatever that « partying » means to you!

You're never too old. I'm 38 and this pandemic ends I'm going to need a few good nights of drinking and partying.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship.

He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
