When Did Going Out For Drinks or Partying Die Out?

[Dogpound2020]

For you personally? - I'm 32 now and I'm certainly down for a night out still. There are workers and friends younger than I who call it a night, around midnight if we're doing a late shift or even at a big time gala Premiere party (I work for Toronto Film Festival) and will just ditch out.

It was never so tame a decade ago. The company would be renting the clubs and bars out for the hell of it and those who were invited would go and we'd be messed up drinking for free, singing karaoke and doing drugs until the wee hours. What gives these days - has the world gotten softer?

Studies have shown that younger people are drinking less and smoking more of that herb

I went out for drinks and partied on Friday night, went to a huge gangsta rap concert, one of the groups performing was Dogg Pound, how ironic

It definitely seems that way. I never smoked ganj a ton. Went right to coke and molly - edibles are definitely up there too in terms of party favors.

I'm always cool with Molly

Ecstasy it used to be called too. I remember my older bro coming home from a Highschool dance absolutely pilled to the gills on that stuff

Stricter DUI laws killed off the late night shitcockery. Nobody's trying to lose their license and catch a 10k fine for a night out. It also lowered DUI death rates. Majority of venues have shifted their scene from the 9-2 block to 5-10. People in general don't want to be out mad late anymore and the youth are mostly pussies.

When I moved away from my Jersey roommate, though I was mainly there to make sure no one died, and to drive. Not a drinker

I was a bar animal until I got married... so 27.

My son is now 22. The scenes are dead dead dead compared to when I was at the same area (Huntington Beach / Newport Beach) in my days.

I remember sleeping for like 21 hours one time after an 'Excellence' binge !

When people realized the effort wasn't worth the reward. You can spend a lot less money just drinking at home either by yourself or with the friends you would have went out with. Whats the purpose of being price gouged in a building with loud music?

Last time I bought a few grams and each time I took it I felt fine the next day

When you are rolling hard the last thing on your mind is eating

Pandemic killed it

Probably Covid, getting older and the night life scene dying in general at least in my city. I’ve been partying since I was 16 with a fake ID. Between the ages of 23 after graduating college and up to age 36 I would usually go out twice a week sometimes up to 4 days a week to the bars/clubs/lounges/raves/house parties. I feel like the night life really died down in my area about 8 years ago.

Now I’m 40 and tired and would rather be at the gym club, eat some good food and sleep. Besides all my friends are married and or divorced with kids.

Those E-bomb mentions bring back fond yet scary memories. Thing is you can control a Molly high based upon the size of your dip/moon rock you take. When it comes to taking a double or triple stack pill … it was prepare to roll your fucking ass off.

my town is an absolute waste land when it comes to nightlife. before covid, the Australian government set lockout rules which decimated a lot of the night life, followed by the covid and finally taxing the absolute crap out of alcohol $10 for a standard beer at a pub - no wonder most people it seems stay home and do drugs.

it doesnt help that a lot of our pubs are now owned by large supermaket chains who are interested in only making money from pokie machines rather then say investing in live bands, pool tables and social areas.
