Is it still ok to party and drink at age 36?

[Vesuvius87]

I just did that yesterday night at a language club. I'm single and don't have actual responsibilities such as kids so whatever. By the time I got home, I was very drunk, lol.

I'll likely be reuniting with a couple folks from the language club and party all night long for the New Year. This year hasn't been that great nor bad; more like a ''meh, whatever'' year.

I don't drink often and obviously not that much. This is just the exception this time. Is it ok to be doing that at this age? I just want to enjoy the New Year's Eve and party this time.

[FunkyMonkee]

I see nothing wrong with it! I know of people in their 60's and 70's that still do it! One guy I know of is a great grandfather and he still loves to party hardy!

[Vesuvius87]

Interesting so it's never too late to have fun at least once and get rid of some stress.

[FunkyMonkee]

Nope. Have fun! Dad drank beer every day `til a day or 2 before he died at 81.

[Pohjolan]

Its okay but at that age you should have some style.

[Vesuvius87]

Great song.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I guess it depends if that's a constant lifestyle or not, if it's an occasion then it's alright and you should enjoy your time but there's nothing good about going out constantly and getting intoxicated, not even to your health, don't forget your liver is a filter, you mess up that filter and it's fuckso matso to the rest of your organs.

[Vesuvius87]

yes this after a long while. I'm seldomly drink and when I do, it's usually light, sweet drinks such as Baileys Irish Cream or only one cup. Yesterday was an exception. That was the last language event to say goodbye to this year. Then New Year's Eve will be another exception for me. That's it.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sounds like you are picking and choosing occasions, that seems to be in a controlled environment, which is good.

[Vesuvius87]

Afterwards I'm going to get back on track with accomplishing some of my life goals. The only other exception for me to get drunk would be the day I get proposed marriage or on my wedding.. if that ever happens.

[Vesuvius87]

That would be out of pure happiness or a major event happening in my life.

[ChicoFromThe305]

That's also understandable as it's an occasion and a very celebratory one for that matter, as long as there's nothing our of line then it's legit

Remember to be cautious if you have to drive home alone. Being drunk around people you don't know well can be a dicey situation. I'd only do it with good friends and family, so if I needed to be ushered home without with car, someone would be kind enough to either take me, or put me in an Uber/Lyft.

Don't get yourself in a compromising situation. When drunk, our "governor" drops away. We do things we'd never do sober. And sexual assaults often occur when the woman is so disarmed. Rapists are opportunists.

Set yourself up for SUCCESS. Have a drink or two. Don't get drunk. And wait an hour or so after your two drinks to drive home, so you're sober. Take care.

[Vesuvius87]

I took Uber on Thursday and someone actually helped me with the application and even made sure I got home safely. Thank you for the suggestion and yes you're right. I'll be careful.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I’d say life would be very boring without partying and having fun.

I’ll be partying when my leg heals.

[Vesuvius87]

yeah I've been stressed out with many things this year that I'm letting off steam

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yeah… Only regrets I have is that I didn’t party harder

God, now, things I’d do in the middle of the dance floor…

[exitseven]

I was still partying at 36. Life is short. Have fun while you can. Stay off balconies and don't leave a drink unattended

[Vesuvius87]

yeah it's sad life is short for us. At the same time I was letting of steam.. many things were stressing me out in the past months.

[exitseven]

Have fun but don't get dead.

[coolbreeze]

Yes enjoy life to the fullest and don't worry what others think You can party and have fun at any age.

[KostasKouvalis]

Why not? Nothing wrong with living it up and being young at heart!

[Vesuvius87]

Thanks. Yeah I'm getting rid of some stress I've been having these past months.

[KostasKouvalis]

Tell me about it

[RebelinSteel]

It’s okay to enjoy yourself anytime, this might have been more of you subconsciously letting your stress, concerns. I don’t think age really comes into it. As long as you are happy and okay, then it’s fine, your life to live.

[Vesuvius87]

yes I've been kind of depressed and stress with many things in my life such as my brother not progressing in life, still being childless and unmarried, a dead-end job, not working on my major and many others things

[Vesuvius87]

at that moment, it was my ways of say ''screw it all, I don't want to think about any of that for now''

[RebelinSteel]

There you go, you let of steam, look at something positive to aim for in 2024.

[HighValue]

After seeing the results of people drinking and getting pancreatic cancer, etc. and dying, I don't recommend alcohol to anyone. It leads to a shorter life, some painful suffering at the end, and some bad decisions along the way.

[Vesuvius87]

Though I'm not your typical heavy drinker. I rarely get drunk like that. I just feel like Thursday and New Year are exceptions at this moment. I'm letting off steam too. I've been stressed out for months and just feel like finishing this "meh, whatever" year.

[Nikki1989]

There is no age limit on having fun. Just don't overdo it.

[Nice222]

Sure it is. Have fun and make memories. Or black out and forget everything. lol. It’s all good.

[Vesuvius87]

I'm a good drunk and can still hold a normal conversation.

[Vesuvius87]

thanks

[Nice222]

36 is still young and time to have fun.

[JacobJordan]

Isn't okay at any age in my opinion but you do you just know actions have consequences and if you find it difficult to find a guy that treats you well the reason is the drinking and partying

[Vesuvius87]

I've always been a serious woman and I rarely get drunk like that. I seldomly drink but when I do, I'll go for soft, sweet drinks with my family or close friends.
New Year is really like an exceptional day to finish this stressful day. It's like letting of steam for me. I've been somewhat depressed and stressed out too much these past months that I just want to forget about it at the moment.

[JacobJordan]

And being drunk is the solution? Fair enough.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

how dare you, you'll be seeing a jury tomorrow and will be prosecuted for violating party law §3.

nah just kidding, dont listen to those makeshift "rules" or what other tell you, just go and have fun

[spartan55]

Never those Language Club people were such partiers.

[Slim57]

If you can handle it, I got reminded I'm not in my 20s anymore over the break lol

[FenixG45]

Yes, its fine, but you're not doing your liver any favors, especially if you have goals.

[Vesuvius87]

I don't plan on drinking like that after the New Year though, not even on my b-day. I just feel like the New Year is an exceptional date at this moment. I've been stressed out lately.

[FenixG45]

Well, it's fine. Go ahead and party. Just don't overdo the alcohol. It plays havoc with your liver, especially if you do it frequently

[JoshMa]

No need to mature eventually

[Jerre]

Ok to be drinking at your age

[Murty]

Yeah I would say so

[Jmmmfi4]

SURE

[sheikalana]

If you’re single and Free is perfectly fine.

[boobliker]

what about me at 69 so yes it's OK

[Vesuvius87]

Wow thanks. Yeah I feel like getting rid of stress at the moment.

[boobliker]

de-stressing is a good reson for a party on its own

[jjj101010]

Yeah. Party until the party stops

[Vesuvius87]

Cool... great

[eagle1951]

if that's what you want

[Vesuvius87]

For New Year yes. Those are the rare times where I just want to have fun and don't even think about serious matters nor work at that moment. I was just wondering if I'm too old for that.

[QuietRunner]

perfectly fine for you

[TadBehaya]

You do you
