Why do so many people become dry so young?

There should always be a time where people can go out and dance. As will says in the Inbetweeners, there's something animalistic about our urge to do it hahahah. But honestly people do become more rigid as they get older. It's not like partying and drinking is so interesting and fascinating but it's spontaneous, care-free and spirited. It's like how men stop playing football casually just with mates. They only play if it's structured within the confines of 5 a side or Sunday league. Why?

I actually think it will be interesting to see how socialising changes in a society where more and more people don't have kids or delay settling down for longer.

hopefully more people just be themselves and stop worrying what other people think of them. i must be finished college at 23, i must be married at 30, i must be manager at 35 etc its all a load of bull.

You don’t need to do any of those but you’re still really not wanted in a nightclub at 40 though, no matter how much of a lad someone thinks they are. The majority of people will just see it as sad.

Yeah that’s the same.

Go and have a nice cup of tea and don’t be worrying about what the 20 somethings are at.

Actually, **** it you’re probably right. I wouldn’t want to be at it myself now but I probably threw in the towel too early myself back in the day. At least you know not to listen to tossers like me telling you not to.

Most likely but it’s a parent responsibility to embarrass their teens 😂

The last time I was in a proper nightclub I was around 30 I'd say, it was a few years ago now. I'd have considered myself a "young" enough 30 year old in terms of attitude and looks.

I remember I felt like Matt Damon's character at the start of Saving Private Ryan in that place.

The women basically wearing lingerie from Penny's as outfits. Young lads who barely looked old enough to shave falling around the place in their designer jumpers and getting into fights over absolutely nothing.

Late night bars/venues are fine, but actual nightclubs....no matter how young you feel or even look, I can't imagine most people over the age of about 25 having a good time.

I think a proper club you could, depends on the night tho but Irish club nights, sort thumb. I went to Diceys last summer and it was kinda sad watching my youth erode away. That night I felt like an old man for the first time. It was sad because I loved that place. I loved just being a friendly drunk chatting to everyone but the lustre and shine has long gone. Would have just felt like a man child

Hangovers bore the arse off me. Not remotely worth it.

what age are you?

I have mates who deliberately turned into dry ****es in their 20s. It was like they aspired to it so they could look down on the rest of us.

Now, they're just miserable that the rest of us are still having fun. One in particular is very bitter about it, drinking wine every night and constantly moaning about other people's lives and what they have.

It doesn't have to be that way either. I know people with kids, mortgage etc who make sure to enjoy life and their kids. They don't go out nearly as much but they still have a good time.

People trying to mix it up with the early 20s crowd well into their 30s are just as bad IMO.

Dryness is a curse, people always need to be hydrated. Better to be moist instead of being stiff as a board and bone dry. Several creams and gels available to combat skin dryness & reduce friction....
