When Did Going Out For Drinks or Partying Die Out?

[ThaiSexPills]

For me, Covid. I used to go to the bar once a week usually and then Covid happened and it died down. Now if I’m drinking, I just have people over at my shop or go to someone else’s place and skip the bar altogether.

I’m not sure if it’s because I hit my mid 30’s or not but the bar scene in my area is dead and has been since Covid so I’m learning towards that more than my age.

Was at a halloween party with friends and my single friend in his early 30s who isn't good at getting girls had a dude pretty much lay his hot and cool ass cousin on a platter for him. After a couple hours the cool chick told him they were heading out and going to her other cousins party and that he should come. He was like nah it's already midnight, I'm gonna call it a night. This was on a Saturday night, no work the next day.

Later on the dude whose cousin it was told me that his cousin said guy was well on his way to getting her number and a big ass make out session at the party but instead he was a pussy and got nothing.

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

My brother tore something in his leg last weekend in the club lol

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

More people should drink

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?

Same here.

And I still have friends (we're in our 40's mind you) bitchin' about going out to meet girls and what not.

Bitc#es are still around, im always picking up randoms, I don't even use social networks.

To me, nowadays, going out is just like concerts: it used to be fun and cheap, now its automatized and pricey.. bassically the crystal gen pay TO BE PART OF something, and show off on media. Pretty tame and lame if you ask me.

I watched all the great bands: 'Tallica, Ramones, McCartney, GNR, MJ, you name it.
It was cheap and fun.

Nowadays, you'll be paying a lot of $ for a Lollapalloza event with 1 mediocre band you want to see, and 17 other fillers (all in all for recording it with your phone) and get a credit bracelet to buy beer x20 times it original price.

Same with bars, it used to be cheap and fun, you could play pool, hook up with girls on the fly (not priorly arrenging an instagram date) and tbey wouldn't call you out for harrasment, they'd basically say yay or nay.

This a billion times over. The prearranging is a big thing nowadays. I think a lot of people are just arranging drinking together at home and maybe fucking later on in the night.

For me personally……right around my late 30’s early 40’s.

 

[mixmastermo]

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?

I dunno bro

I hang out in Brooklyn a lot and more often than not the parties spill into the streets. You can go to Troutman/Wyckoff area and hit Brooklyn Made, House of Yes, or Sultan Room (more places, but that's just off the top of my head). If you want you can walk a few blocks to Johnson ave and Silo, Elsewhere, Honey and Bushwick Triangle are all a stone throw away from each other, and always busy. Almost forgot to mention the guys with megaphones singing on the street selling weed legally from their street carts..

Heck, just this past weekend I was supposed to go to a Halloween event that had over 2,000 attendees. Place was shut down by FDNY before anyone got in, so I just looked up other options on DICE app and ended up going to Brooklyn Mirage, which has space for 3,000 plus people. Place was packed.. with most people dressed up in costume. I left at 3AM and that place was still at over 70% capacity.

Tomorrow I'm probably going to hit up Knockdown Center to catch Jeff Mills... that place can easily hold 2k people.

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.

just took a look at DICE- see the pics for a sampling of what's going on tomorrow night....

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.

It's nothing like Americans think. People here do as we like

 

[Larzon]

I still party when I go to watch gigs, lots of my mates are in punk bands that get support slots for the international touring bands as well as their own smaller shows.

My missus is fine if I go out and get on it but the next day I have to front up and be the same dad I always am.

 

[pugilistico]

I realized I don't really like partying in my early 30s. I like dancing, but I'm picky with the music and I need good molly but because I'm old, it also has to be a once in awhile thing since I can't recover from a night out like I used to.

When I used to party, it was really only to try to meet chicks. Once I stopped caring about that and found better ways to meet women, I realized I actually do not like partying.

Because it s fun as fuck as a young person, like many other things that make no financial sense but are part of being young. Personally i stopped around 34 but i regret nothing from my night out years.

 

[clutchCAT420]

Right around when my Medicare kicked in. But business just picked up!

 

[SoSo]

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.

Quite easy actually. Dance until 9-10am when your legs fall off.

 

[Spounman]

My late 30s, close to 40. I partied heavily most of my 30s.
