What age is it cool to party often until

Yeah it gets harder in mid 20s, everyone wants to do ultra marathons or something.

But you've still got a few years left.

You'll find that people transition into "I'm going out for the music/vibes" rather than "I'm going out to get hammered and hit on women". 

NY/LA - somewhere btw 35-40

Everywhere else - somewhere btw 25-30

depends, I live in a super vibrant beach town and you basically have your whole 20s; you’re “that guy” after 30 though unless you pivot to a different town or hit specific dives. If social life is a big factor def move to a NYC/LA type of city asap. 

I’m 25 now and still go out every weekend, but I’m also very extroverted and love socializing/meeting new people. You just gotta attract the right friends/acquaintances to go out with. A couple of my friends are in LTRs and don’t go out, some others are in that stage where they’re figuring out their life out and their mid 20s is hitting them (didn’t take college too seriously), and some others just got sick of it and didn’t like going out.

first couple years out of college were the best, spent a shit ton of money going out multiple days a week, going to concerts, etc. def was my peak because it was like college but I had 100% autonomy and money. I knew to take advantage of it because once people hit their mid to late 20s their life circumstances change a lot. 

I’m dialed back now but won’t turn down a chance with my homies because it’s only a matter of people when they start popping kids, moving, tone it down, etc. def don’t write people off tho if they seem boring and don’t enjoy going out; they could be going through it and people on this forum tend to forget people aren’t as fortunate as us to have decent paying jobs and career growth. Going out can be really expensive and draining compounded with the anxiety not knowing where your career/life is headed.

“feels to soon to me. Any opinions?”

Yes - stop being careless and use “too soon.” From my experience you stop partying when you wife up and have kids. If you don’t have a wife, you’re still hanging out and partying all the time with single peeps.

I hung up my proverbial party hat when I got my first three-day hangover in my late 20s. For the first 24hours I moved all of 15 feet (bed to bathroom to couch to fridge), wasn't fully mobile until the 48hr mark. Then last 24 hrs was pure misery being stuck in an office. 

As someone who has only had 2 hangovers in my entire life, both post consuming 25+ drinks, I just sort of phased out of heavy drinking in my mid 20s.  I just began to realize that I had better things to do than spend the entire night drinking just to wake up and do it again the next night.

24 does seem soon to me. You’re probably not even 2 full years out of college. But like other people have said, probably just comes down to your friends. Some people are settling down with their girls, some are more introverted, some people don’t like the way getting hammered feels (weird to me but I digress).

The us is puritanical everywhere else in the world the answer is never 

Also, partying in big cities like NYC can easily be labeled as networking. 

Stopped really going out by 25 (for me partying, was going to bars and clubs with friends often with pregames). There are some nights in my early 20s that were absolute blurs and a few that I have little to no collection. Was using alcohol to drown some of the pain I was dealing with at the time after college. Not proud of that time and luckily got out of it.

Went out more during business school to fit in in my late 20s. Knew how to handle my liquor and often left early. Never had a hangover during both years.

My closest friends don't party and many of the people I partied with in my early 20s were fake friends. I rarely touch alcohol now, 10 drinks a year.

Depends on where you’re going out. NYC I frequently see people in their early 30s at the clubs I go to. I go for the specific DJ / style of music though. Starting to feel ancient if we stop by the Red Lion though and I’m only 24. I refuse to switch to wine bars and breweries. Not there yet. 

I was going strong until like 26-27. But have friends with better stamina that still are pushing it in early 30s. I don’t really have interest in partying other than one-off nights with the boys a couple times a year at most because it completely fucks my next 2-3 days up. But really I think in a big city you can go strong if you want to until early-mid 30s then it starts to get more weird/sad. 

About 24 for “get together pregame for 3 hours and pick a bar at random” as peoples weekends started getting packed with bday parties/engagements/weddings etc weeks or months in advance.

Then hit a 1-2 year lull since we sucked at planning (girls struggle with this less I’ve noticed) and people are in vastly different places in early/mid 20’s, some still figuring out what they’re gonna do with their life, Some of your buddies might have serious girlfriends for the first time and trying to strike the right balance of getting them involved with the group/trying to project they aren’t a degenerate, some people are deep in their first job grinding it out or maybe you guys just don’t have a planner.

Now at 27 we’re back and track but it looks different, cooler/nicer events planned further in advance, dinners and what not.

But once you and/or your buddies have gfs involved it becomes essential to at least have loose plans in advance, women (generally speaking) don’t like to just “wing” their weekend plans like guys do, so if they see an empty calendar for next weekend they are gonna start filling that sucker up.

People are actually very open to doing stuff if you make it easy for them to say yes, and if you step up and start planning stuff others may follow. I have one buddy who leaned into this heavily and we all love him for it

Until you cannot physically

yeah, too soon. kids these days are boring af.

Party just turns into work drinks or client drinks. So you start earlier and end earlier....most times.

Pretty tough question because what / how do you define a party? background was in a fraternity in college i would consider a very social one. made my best friends for life and had a phenomenal time. With that being said, nightlife / "parties" in NYC is unmatched whether its going to a show in brooklyn, a great dinner into a lounge or a niche artist you want to see, the accessibility to these events is unparalleled esp. as a finance professional not living off a college budget. While my definition of partying has changed over the last few years, i almost feel there are more people in their 30s and 40s in places i go out now than people in their 20s so do what makes you happy, meet cool people and rest is noise 

however long you feel like it's fun dude. If you do it just to feel cool though, probably already too late

just party cuz you feel like it and cuz it's fun for as long as you want - no on has any right to judge

Wife & kids or you just don't feel like feeling like shit anymore e.g. the hangovers and recovery is just too much

Or you turn 40
