When Did Going Out For Drinks or Partying Die Out?

[chill doggie]

When going out drinking and partying ended up in me getting jumped by 4 dudes and almost died after suffering traumatic brain injuries that left me with long term cognitive impairments.

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.

Seriously I paid $14.50 for a schooner yesterday! Shit is crazy

going out used to mean trying to chat up someone you find attractive at a bar or club. nowadays, it seems most of that stuff gets done online. with that being said, you don't have much reason to go out at all, aside from eating out and shopping.

I'm out here still fuckin

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

The first two times I took it was incredible. Could never find any as good as those after that.

When my neighbor got murdered outside the apartment for talking to a girl he met at the bar.

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?

My girlfriend still likes to shut the bars down. I'm all for it. Am 40.

Depends on what circles you are in. Some of my friends are done with that and others are still partying like its 1999.

Late 30s. Now i dont drink at all. A party consists of me ordering a pizza and taking some edibles while watching old school film.

The nightlife is pretty dead compared to what it was in my heyday. People are just doing different things nowadays. Entertaining themselves in other ways.

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

Cost of living increased, Gen Z don’t really drink as much. Youngest millennials are getting closer to 30 (in that bracket myself) and the party days are coming to an end soon.

Paid $15 for a can of VB in the Sydney CBD. Absolutely ridiculous but was necessary.

I partied hard in my teens. No one asked for IDs back then so my friends and I were in bars all the time at 15.

I left all that behind when I became a dad at 26. Haven’t looked back since.

Pretty sure half the reason most of my gen went to college was to party
