What’s your party schedule like?

As I've gotten older, I can't handle those crazy weekend binges like I used to. One night of fun once every 2 weeks, or even once a month is my limit these days.

If by 'partying' you mean me drinking 3-4 IPAs and then falling asleep at 9p, probably once every 1-2 weeks. Will get super bold and throw in a singular mixed drink in there if it's a special event like a wedding!

Jesus Christ I'm old dude

I can only party on Fridays and Sundays. I went out on a Thursday with a fellow WSOer earlier this year and it threw me off. He said I was in a weird mood. It was past my bedtime haha. 

When I was in NYC, I'd typically go out every day of the week for the first few months there, then only Thurs - Sun. Sundays were brunch and unlimited drinks. 

Learning tricks has helped me with going out despite getting older:

1) Getting minimum two slices of pizza or a heavy bagel sandwich before going out helps my body last longer when drinking and with absorbing alcohol

2) forcing myself to drink electrolytes/eat something carb heavy before going to sleep

3)general experience. I’m impressed by how well i can calculate my limit depending on my sleep,alcohol type, stress, etc

What screws me up now is someone volunteering shots and being forced to drink something unexpectingly. I dont mind doing fri/sat one a week but i normally dont get too fked up and will leave a venue by 2am unless vibes are great. 

Would go out 4-5 time a week in college, drinking and drug use. After a year and a half in banking, go out maybe once every 2-3 weeks and drugs have gone down to once every 1-2 months. This industry wears you down quick if you don’t take care of yourself.

I have recent learn about smoking marijuana recreationally. Since then I have smoke a few time a week, and a couple of time on weekends, so I have gone outside much less, and I stay indoor many weekends

Midnight-4/5am, 1-4 times a month depending on which artists come to NYC

Honestly, most every Friday night, almost every Saturday daytime, and every Saturday night, with some Thursdays mixed in as well and the very rare weekend night off. Keep the weekdays quite healthy otherwise. Making the most of it all while I still seek it out, enjoy it, and can sustain it, assuming I won’t enjoy it forever and/or friends will eventually settle down more too. There’s just too much fun to be had in this city to pass it up IMO.

I used to be all about hitting the streets multiple nights a week back in the day. But lately, I've found myself slowing down quite a bit. I recently stumbled upon the website with essay examples on alcoholism, and man, did it hit me hard. It offered a whole new perspective on alcohol and its effects. Like you, I had to rethink my relationship with booze after reading it. I still enjoy a drink or two now, but I've toned it down.
