Advice from partiers

[fsoe]

Unfortunately some people do this, but I'm 33 and have a very healthy balance of partying and being healthy and have since I was 16. I have a good group of friends that are similar.
Of course I should define partying for me. I drink once or twice a month and get a buzz, and about every 3-6 months I go out and get hammered. Once a year I experiment w rec drugs.
I love what i do and it has no ill effects.

My friends were a different story - 2-4x per month and Rec drugs monthly -

I quit because I could not control it, it was time to change -

I don't drink anymore. Doesn't fit my macros. For fun? Stims and gyms sex pills and sex.

I'm about the same, but hit the drugs every 3-4 months as well - just not when on oral gears

Ya being young and staying in on weekends would be the type of thing a loner would do lol. Party all u want bro but in excess it's goin to hurt you in the long run. Hell I love drinkin me some beer but now days I nurse them. Might as well put a nipple on it. But going out and partying doesn't specifically mean drinking and getting high as fuck. U dont have to be fucked up to be happy and have a good time. Drink a ton of water and just make sure u stay hydrated. And definitely stay away from drugs that will jack up ur heart rate and bp. I know when I'm on cycle my bp tends to get a little high. I can only imagine what it would be like doing coke on cycle. I'd keel over lol. Just be safe bro and have fun

Now we totally see eye to eye. Like I said, I try to avoid drinking if I can since I don't have as much to look forward to like I used to. I just turned 27 and finally have a steady gf so I'll just have 2-3 drinks on occasion if we go out to dinner or to a bar with our friends. Of course there are still times I'll go all out (like a birthday party where I haven't seen everyone in a while) but for the most part, I'd rather avoid staying out late and feeling tired the next day. However, from my late teens to mid 20's, I went all out. On New Year's eve the other night, I went all out too.

I think it's all about moderation. I have taken much more than my fair share of rec drugs and alcohol. I've gotten a little older now and I see that it's really not worth it anymore. The OP seemed like he wanted to find a good balance. For me it was really hard. Maybe I have an addictive personality but it's hard for me to go out and not take advantage of everything that was there. It's taken a lot of time for me to realize that since I can't regulate myself, I don't need to do it.

I see both sides of this argument. I can't honestly say that one is better than another because I made a lot of friends and had a lot of good times. But once you step back and check it out, the friends you made really aren't friends.

MDMA viagra preworkout and go to the gym in sweat pants.

Your not a professional bodybuilder or fitness model. I would keep going out every few weeks or so. And as you get older go out less and less. Trust me more and more of your friends will have kids or get married and there wont be as many options anyway unless you wanna be the creepy old guy in the bar/club. So have some fun now and just stay off the hard shit. I don't see alot of 40 year old steroid, drug addict, alchoholics around. I see my share of them in their 20's. I guess they stop working out or stop partying at a certain point. Or unfortunately their body gives out altogether.

just dont get wasted. I partied plenty hard from 17-24. drugs, booze, cigs, bitches, drugs, bitches, more drugs and more booze.

every single day. now it basically comes down to priorities. luckily i got a girl who doesnt party at all. if i do go out i dont get wasted.

and i NEVER party in any form, while on cycle.

I am a little older (42) but on occasion still get out on the weekend. Usually workout Monday through Friday and Saturday morning. Partying Saturday nights (still in moderation) doesn't impact me on Sunday which is my off day. Everyone has a different routine and it depends what your goals are and what your trying to accomplish.

Statistics say we all are drug users ? If ya use one, ya might use more ? Not all of course . Here's my worst to best ?
- Alcohol ( makes me do stupid shit )
- tobacco ( most addictive )
- amphetamines ( back end of the deal sucks )
- opiates ( lowers your natty test )
- Benzos. ( mean ass withdraws )
- weed ( no drive but fun )
You young dudes should have seen how we rolled in the 80 s ! Off the hook. Excess was the bare minimum ( lol ) !

 

[SloppyJ]

I'm gonna go hang with AMA. We can smoke a blunt, take xannies and then go turn some laps until one of us blacks out.

 

[Mudge]

Serious guys (the few that I know) in their early 20s often do cranberry or tonic water type stuff. If and when you get serious, getting wasted every week isn't attractive precisely because it DOES fuck you up.

2+ hour workouts after a bunch of booze, all dehydrated and down on energy? Doesn't work very well.

Sounds like a plan as long as it's a 450. A 250/125 won't pull my big ass.

When I was 16 and just turned pro (motocross) I got drunk for the first and last time. Took 1 full month to get back to the level I was at before my bender. Alcohol and or street drugs do not mix with serious athletics.

Make a choice bro, do one or the other...but if you choose to get tore up once n a while, O.K. but suck it up & deal w/ it!

Sometimes you just gotta celebrate being alive SD. Life's a journey, so enjoy it. Get old, go under the knife a few times you will understand ( lol ). Keep doing you. Enjoy it.

i suppose. I tend to ask older people (55+) for their advice in life, because i figure (or at least hope) they have perspective that i could benefit from..


they always tell me: "save your money, don't get married young, and don't waste your time partying/running with the wrong crowd".


i figure if partying was so great.. then why would it be something that people "grow out of"?

thats easy responsibilty displaces partying... I still go indoor skiing now and again. but I have to think, in advance, what I am doing the next day. do I have to get up at 7 to bring my kid to the swimming lessons? is the wife going to bitch about the missing money? am I going to miss a workout? am I going to get the clap from the stripper that I have suck my cock for said blow...
Most of the time I end up saying... fucking forget about it.

you dont really grow out of it... it just gets pushed to the side and becomes more of a pain then its worth.

your mind is too old... get out there have some fun, do drugs, get fucked up, sleep with strange women(or men I dont care). You can chalk up stupidity to youth. this is more valuable then you can even wrap your mind around.

was this directed at me?


idk man.. one of my childhood friends just died from heroin overdose.. he was very conservative when he was younger (refused to even smoke pot). Id rather not sleep with strange women for fear of an incurable STD, or an unwanted child. A friend is dating a guy with herpes (gross), and my room mate just knocked up his girl and doesnt have 2 nickels to rub together, and no family.


i think id rather live an uncomplicated life than a "fun one".. i subscribe to the original epicureanism i guess you could say.. that the greatest pleasure in life is freedom from pain and distraction.


if im going to do drugs, they will strictly be for the sake of muscle growth

 

[theCaptn']

Jimmy's got a point though, there is so much life experiences you'll miss out on.

When I was younger I sold all my shit, dumped my GF and went traveling for 2 years to some pretty fucked up and unsanitary places. Like Asia and the US. I stuck to the golden rules and got by largely unscathed.

Made me a much stronger, wiser and more tolerant human being.

to each their own...
some of the best moments in my life involved ecstasy, coke and strange women... I still use those memories for my spankbank. I'm not sure I could do that today... Who am I kinding. I could but without the reckless abandon.
Just enjoy your youth, however you see fit.

Responsibility will come enjoy your limited time without it.
