Best place to travel to maximize hedonism?

I've got about 3 months before I plan on starting a new job. Until then, I have all the time in the world. This may be my last time to travel extensively for the next couple years. Where is the best place to get wild and maximize hedonism?

I would focus less on one single location, and more on maximizing hedonistic activities/output. It's cliche, but backpacking europe is the easiest way to do this. Good club scene, can stay at hostels, will have no shortage of other travelers to hook up with, access to booze, drugs, late nights, etc. and can easily make your way through 6-10 countries. You also will be able to have a lot of cool experiences this way

Sure, 'Bangkok' might be an answer and your money will go further in SE Asia. But also a non zero chance you end up with an STI from a lady boy so your call there big guy

 

Hostel hopping in Europe is good advice. Also, the party islands throughout SE Asia. Can’t go wrong in Australia/NZ either. 

 

In no particular order: Columbia, Thailand, Mexico, Brazil, Dominican Republic, and the Netherlands. Can't really go wrong, just depends on your taste in climate, women, and preferred nightlife scene.
