Does Anybody Else Feel the Irresistible Urge to be a Degenerate Any Time You Get Out Early?

Now look, I'm not just some heathen. I'd like to think I live a pretty disciplined life. Was never a total boozehound in college even in my prime frat-boy days. But ever since I started working IB hours in the real world there's just something about getting out of the office early that makes me feel like a school child on a snow day. If I get out at 7:00PM (still an earlier day where I'm at), I'll just go to the gym and cook a good dinner. But on those select few days where there's truly jack shit going on, all the important people are out and people start dipping out at 4:00PM...I might just go slam 5 whiskey shots and call up my most degenerate friends to "hit the slopes" and stay out past midnight.
