| Can you party hard like a 20yr old when you are over 30?

I have become a Mom, wife(now ex), and employed....over time it seems I forgot how to have fun, laugh, enjoy life. Temporary doing all this partying until something/someone better comes along...in the meantime, beats sitting at home feeling sorry for myself. That is something I would never do! | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 3:05:21 AM | I cant party like Im 20, but I can pretend pretty well & even still manage to get women to look (admittedly I think thats more - oh god look at the old fart!)
With age comes some good times, better appreciation of those rare moments when you can get out, when you can let your hair down & just party, but it isnt the be all & end it once was. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 8:35:34 AM | I think people my age are quite capable of partying even harder than a 20 year old. Trust me, I've seen some pretty crazy stuff and have a lot of great memories about it all. We just don't have a need (or sometimes the ability due to other obligations) to do it every week or even every night. Plus, we realize by this age that our money shouldn't all be funneled into the pockets of the nightclub/bar owners.
The difference between someone my age and someone who is 20, is that my age generally has more responsibilities and more to worry about than just themselves. A lot of us have kids (I don't), we have a mortgage (hey, wait, I don't have that, either), rent (okay, I have that), more bills, etc. When I was 20, I had no debt and didn't really have a lot of worries.
I have to say, though, I enjoy having fun with friends much more now than I did back then. I was kind of a nerd, so I didn't party that much...in the true sense of the word, anyway. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 9:55:10 AM | Well...I'm 44...
And I can tell you from firsthand experience that there's a limit to how long your liver and your central nervous system can hold-up to that kind of abuse, so I guess the answer is; NO, not really!  | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 2:15:04 PM | | I don't go out and party every night. I never did. However, if a band is playing at a club on a Friday or Saturday night, I go. I can stick around til 2 am and drink and/or dance. Unfortunately, most of the men I know can't keep up on a Friday or Saturday night. The men just can't seem to stay awake whether it is going to a Blues or Jazz club or going to see a rock n roll band. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 11:31:21 PM | Every night no way. Too many other responsibilities. Most Saturday nights is a requirement to staying young though in our eyes. We party more now in our late 30's then we could in our 20's since the kids are older. We save the bar scene for the winter months and party with friends (mostly our age) outdoors during the warmer months. We usually greet the sun about once a month on average as it rises before sleeping in our tent for a couple hours and having a productive Sunday. Matter of fact we have done that the past 3 weekends and outlasted several 20 somethings along the way who claimed to be hard core party goers. Kinda makes them mad when the "old man" can out drink and outlast them without ever stumbling then to top it off is out and about way before they ever think of opening their eyes for the day. Motrin and good ole h2o are the key here.
For those dogging the party goers why? No one is giving you a hard time for going to bed at 9pm every night. So why is it ok to attack those of us who have stable lives and the bills taken care of. I just don't get it. It's fine to give your opinion but to call us unwise or 3 year olds is uncalled for. We supposedly live in a free society but if your different than what mainstream wants you to be your wrong? We refuse to march to the beat of someone else's drum. Who cares if I am exhausted come Sunday night as long as I am up ready and rearing to go come Monday morning. | |

Think everyone starts to find the partyign is still fun, its the time it takes to recover that seems to get longer as you get older | |

Posted: 7/25/2007 4:27:44 AM | I'm 34 now and used to be one hell of a raver back in my late teens and twenties. Now, despite giving up certain "recreational" substances and sticking purely to alcohol I still feel the toll more and more. I now find that every night spent drinking will result in a full extra 24hrs recovery time. A full heavy weekend means I will not be back to normal until Thurs morning.
Not good!

Posted: 7/25/2007 11:47:32 AM | | I am 30 now and I still go out, but not nearly as much as the 18-22 days. I have a daughter who comes first. It's still fun though..recovery time is just a littttle longer than 10 years ago. Not the alcohol recovery but my knees :) | |

Posted: 8/29/2007 7:09:08 AM | I just wonder why anyone over 30 would even want to party like they are 20.
Heck when I was 20 I did everything fast and hard.
At my age I learned slowing down makes everything more pleasant and last longer.
So I don't party hard, I just party longer. Pace yourself and your body will be kind to you the next day. | |

Posted: 8/29/2007 9:35:10 PM | Here are some of the differences between partying in my 30's and when I was in my 20's--- some of you may gals may relate too!!!
In the 20's I was naiive and actually believed some of those "lines" guys spewed. 
In my 30's I laugh when I hear a guy using one and tell the youngins I've heard it all before, but they still can buy me a drink!
In my 20's I would let any guy BRING me a drink, in my 30's I go TO the bar to watch the drink being made (damn ghb)
In my 20's I would hit the club, get drunk, get into a fight with my friends, cry at the club, cause drama, then we'd make up and drink some more
In my 30's I laugh at those girls and buy them waters and play mom
In my 20's the goal was always to dance on the bar, the table, the speakerbox, ANYthing to get attention 
In my 30's my knees wouldn't allow it (and I wouldn't do it anyways, those 20-something girls look desperate up there!)
And of course
In my 20's the less clothing, the more drinks
In my 30's, I know WHAT to flaunt (and some of those 20-somethings need to LEARN that skill!!!) | |

Posted: 8/29/2007 10:02:51 PM | | I think I could for a few years into my 30's, but definitely not now. I can only do a few drinks and then I'm done for the night. I still like loud music, and I like watching a strange crowd. I wish bands wouldn't play so late, such as starting at midnight. I'm a total pumpkin around that time. Oh, and I have to have something to do when I'm drinking. I can't just hang out and drink. I either have to be shooting pool, playing darts, listening to a really good band, or having some kind of analytical discussion. Otherwise, I get bored really fast. It's become worse for me now that I've quit smoking. I can't sit still sometimes. | |

Posted: 8/29/2007 10:04:40 PM | I can still party, but I've lost the urge for the bars/club scene nowadays. Before, all it would take would be a phone call from a friend, and I'd be out in no time. Now, my friends would have to practically drag me to the bar.
I also don't recover as fast from a night of heavy drinking like I used to. | |
