Going out / social schedule as AN1
Hi monkeys, incoming AN1 in a more chill group 55-65 hours per week. Id like to hear about how you guys normally plan your week for socializing and catching up with friends in the city with work.
I went out last weekend in the city for the first time since interning last summer, and forgot how brutal the hangovers can get on the sundays.
I want to be able to meet women at bars / clubs in night life and lots of my friends enjoy going out as well. For those that do too while working in banking, how do you manage everything?
Cheers
Be normal? Have social skills? What kind of question is this
Think the question is more about how u manage to find time > how to carry yourself at a bar
where tf did i ever mention anything abt being socially incompetent? clown
If ur biggest concern with a 55-hour workweek is how you’ll find time to go to bars, I think you’re going to be just fine
Try to maximize weekends is really my best advice
Fri Night Club
Sat Night Dinner/Bar
Sun Morning Brunch
Adjust for weekend work and stress. You have a lot of time to be fair assuming that M-F is 12 hours, then weekend is pretty much free always.
What group is this??
55hrs per week and you want my advice on how to find time for going out? I'd be out everyday on that part-time schedule
on a serious note hangovers are only super brutal if your lifestyle sucks; try to do cardio / lift weights (improve circulation and digestion), eat clean (this one is big, don't go crazy on fast food when you get drunk), drink electrolytes before going out, after going out (before bed), and then in the morning. Should feel almost as fresh as if you didn't go out in the morning; I can usually get a heavy workout done by next morning even if i had 6-7 drinks the night before
Stick to Saturday nights, and stick to beers. Choose 2 Saturdays a month if you're not actively exercising a lot. Exercising regularly helps have a good metabolic rate in place and you're basically consuming an extra 1K of calories whenever you go out and it will start to show if you're not active. Plan your hangover for Sunday before you go out that Saturday.
Friday, drink lots of water throughout the day. Get some form of cardio in for 45 min via a light run or some cardio at your gym that Saturday afternoon. Then eat a good meal with carbs (whether that's a big sandwich, pasta, etc.) and go to your local bodega (corner store), and pick up 1 gallon of water and 2 electrolyte drinks (e.g. gatorade). Put 1 in your fridge, and put the gallon of water and the other electrolyte drink on your nightstand.
If your headed to a pregame starting at 8 or 9, just show up with a 6 pack (or twelve pack for generosity sake), but avoid hard liquor. If your group heads out around 11, ideally you've had 5-6 beers down, and then between 11-2AM, allot yourself 4-6 beers. Beyond this threshold (depending on size), there's minimal return without slurring your speech. Once you leave the bars, stop at your local pizza shop on your way home and grab a slice or two.
Once you get home, chug half the gallon of water and try to down the full gatorade. Make sure your room is moderately cold so you can fall asleep well. Between the pizza, water, electrolytes, and increased metabolic rate from your cardio earlier - you should be pretty much maxxed out in terms of what you can do to redo the damage of the beers in your system outside of sleep.
If you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, before you get back to bed, open your fridge and drink half the other gatorade, and save the rest for the morning. Chug another third of that water gallon. Depending on how you slept - your hangover should be relatively minimal.
If you bring a girl home.. well sometimes the hangovers worth it.
high functioning alcholic meticulously describes 48 hour game plan to minimize hangover seems descriptive of wso at large
You’re not an alcoholic if you only do this once a week
This is the modern day American Dream
Friday nights as soon as I got the greenlight to log off, would grab a few beers and dinner. Could be a date or with your buddies.
Saturday I was a big fan of getting going early. It’s the best day of the week and your only free day for the most part. Would get a workout in and sauna then go to a bottomless brunch. After that would either take a nap or go out during the day. Sometimes this flows into dinner / going out but sometimes would call it at like 6pm.
Sunday was a work/rest day for me. Maybe one day during the week I’d grab drinks but usually tried to avoid it

Brother you work 55-65 hours a week. Assuming you sleep 8 hours, that’s 47-57 hours a week that you’re not sleeping or working.
