How old were you when you stopped going out / partying and do you miss it?

1. In my 20s, STILL going out and partying, going out 95% Of the time every night and going out/partying 100% Of the time every weekend

   NEVER STOP THE PARTY!!

2. I’m in my 40s and I still go out and party, but in a different way. My friends and I go to bars often and get very drunk and it’s brilliant. My husband and I also go out for dinner a couple of times a week and usually go to a bar for a drink beforehand. We also go to friends’ houses for big parties, like when it’s someone’s birthday. So to me that’s still going out? And I don’t ever intend to stop doing any of those things.

   I guess the difference is when we were all in our 20s we went out to clubs to dance and usually pick up guys, but we don’t do that anymore.

3. I never have, it’s too loud and overwhelming for me. I like quieter house parties where you can sit around, chat, play a board game or video game, and not be deaf afterwards

4. We are in our mid 40s and we still haven’t stopped. Just…slowed down a bit. We don’t stay out as late and we tend to only go out once or twice a week at most. Since we started traveling full time on our camper we do a good chunk of our partying at campgrounds instead of bars or clubs but we actually party more than we did when we lived in a house. Some campgrounds we have stayed at have been like full time parties while others are quieter.

5. I did a very little when I was 15/16 then stopped. I don’t like it, too loud and too many drunk people.

6. 27 here, and I have no plans to stop.

7. Feb 23rd 2008 I made the decision to stop compleatly its been hard at times especially celebrating and sometimes I want to try new drinks but I quot 2x and I almost killed myself when I drank. I am an absolute alcoholic add alc.

8. I stopped when I was around 36/37 and don’t miss it. I would have killer hangovers that would last all day the next day. I feel like I had my fair share of party days and am enjoying my more laidback life

9. 27 and no absolutely not. i’m healthy now 🙂 and peaceful

10. I’m 28 and haven’t stopped, but it has slowed down considerably and yes I do actually miss it a lot. Happiest time of my life was when I was going out 5 times a week. Just something about dancing all your nights away that really lifts your spirits and I also was never as physically fit as during that time.

11. “Going out” and “partying” feel like 2 very different things to me. I stopped partying (drinking to get really drunk/drug ab!se) when I was about 28, but I still “go out” (having a few drinks with friends, grazing the line of getting drunk but no more) regularly and I’m 31.

12. Stopped going out around 40 and prefer having my girlfriends over for drinks at home.

13. I went out once or twice in my early 20s. Didn’t enjoy it, haven’t been since, don’t miss it.

14. 25 and still going out and partying. I don’t do it as often as I used to, but I still enjoy it when I do it!

15. I got sober at 26 but my actual partying/going out days had already passed by me. I think i was 23 when 100% of my drinking/using was done alone and I stopped going out to party.

    31 now and still a shut in 🙂
