When Did Going Out For Drinks or Partying Die Out?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

How old school we going? Watch Silk Stockings with Fred Astaire while high for a literal kick.

Nah. Clockwork Orange old.

CITY BARS ARE ASS
GO TO HILL BILLY BAR

 

[Bballfan123]

Need to go to this bar




RICK FLAIR WOO

Never seen 4 ppl get dropped in a fight... Shit was sick

Good ass fight and the liquor drinks are $2.50

I still go for happy hour a couple few times a week... but I'm a drinker

 

[Blayt7hh]

I imagine prices really did kill it for a lot of people. I went to the bar near my house last weekend for a cocktail. It was like $15 bucks a drink. Beers are like 7-8 bucks a glass at a lot of places. I dont understand the absurd pricing either since the price of drinks has gone up way more in restaurants than at the store.

For me personally though, it mostly stopped in my early 30s. Once in a while I still go out drinking but its like 2-3 times a year now maybe and never really get more than a buzz these days while I am out.

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

I took so much ecstasy in my 20s, I gave myself a speech impediment (it went away) some fun times that whipped some years off my life.

When hangovers got bad enough

This is what pulled me up. When the low out weighs the high it's time to pull up.

E for excellence LOL

Ahh man, memories. One time I took this chick outside and banged her on one of those fan things that are outside in the back. Her entire back was super fucked the next day. Whatever I had fun.

At least you had sex

 

[Aurelian]

At least you had sex

I don't know how people could roll and not have sex. That was part of the whole point. At that same friends house on another occasion on X I tag teamed a girl with another friend but that memory wasn't as good to tell.

 

[Neck&Neck]

When I was like 30
Too many people doing Coke or pills
And too much crazy shit going down, like fights
Also way too expensive if going bar hopping or to da club
House Parties are always fun though

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

I remember in the 80s, we would hang out at a house drinking and whatnot and not even to go parties until like 10 or 11 pm.

 

[Dogpound2020]

Around 35yo go live in same house with my woman has been like

Oh no! Take her out and corrupt her?

My friends and I would get into hour long wrestling matches and wake up black and blue the next day, hence the 20 hour sleep the one time lol definitely exhausting

 

[Deleted member 592570]

I was never into it. Too expensive.

For a couple of years when I worked in a bar and the front of house manager used to give me and one of the other kitchen guys free pitchers of beer every night, I spent every night in the bar drinking for free and it was very fun, but I can't imagine paying for that shit.

So wasteful.

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?

Chasing poon was the big motivation for me sherbro, you generally can’t find girls to bone in your living room

Although dating apps probably changed the game a fair bit for the younger crowd

 

[jeff7b9]

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.

Do aussies realize that you are the frog in a slowly boiling pot of socialism /distopian authoritarian type nightmare?

I hate to see it. I went to aus in 2000 and hitchhiked from sydney to Adelaide and back. People were very cool. Extremely welcoming. Kind.

 

[ModernMatt]

Age is a factor, my bro-in-law went out drinking last weekend and his back is aching from dancing

Fuck yeah brother. Those were the good ol' days (90's and early 2000's for me) of partying fo sure.

i'm sure plenty of others have mentioned it, but i just want to reiterate. covid really hurt the bar/club scene. it forced the world to get used to one with no bars or clubs, and people adjusted and realized it's not so bad. during covid, let's not pretend like people still didn't get together to drink and hang out. they're probably sticking to that routine to this day.
