Being “too old to party” isn’t a matter of age. It’s a state of mind. Are you totally over the tequila shots, or do you just need to down a Red Bull to get in the fist-pumping mood? Scroll through this list to find out.
“How old are they? Why are these kids out at night? Shouldn’t they be studying?” If this sounds like you, or if you just can’t stand being near the exuberance of youth, that’s a sign that you’ve outgrown the party scene (or maybe just this particular club — you may just have to move somewhere that serves more expensive drinks).
When did all the songs start sounding the same? And why does it have to be so loud? If you find yourself thiiis close to marching to the DJ and asking him to turn things down, remember that there’s no shame in calling it an early night.
When you do make it in the club, you somehow gravitate to the sofas, only getting up to pee. And it’s inevitable that you’ll pass out — not because of how many drinks you’ve had, but because it’s 2 am and way past your bedtime. Go home, gramps.
Remember the good old days when you could party all night and show up to work fresh-faced the next day? Yeah, that’s never gonna happen again.
You can think of a million other things you’d rather do that being surrounded by drunk, sweaty, and loud people — even if these people are your own friends. Maybe meet them for brunch the next day?
Nothing fills you with relief more than canceled plans. Ditch the high heels and climb into your rattiest PJs, because it’s time to do some actual Netflix and chilling.
Once upon a time, you used to say yes to every single invitation you got, because just the mere thought of your friends having fun without you was enough to make you throw all your responsibilities to the wind. But now that you’ve had your fair share of nights out, you know that you’re not going to miss much. Plus, you’ve got a huge backlog of TV series to binge, and that just sounds much more appealing.
Even if you do want to get wasted, you can’t just spend thousands of pesos on a single night out when you have bills to pay. Plus, you have work in the morning. And laundry waiting to be done. Sure, stepping away from a night of debauchery may suck, but at least your wallet, liver, etc. will thank you for it.
