At what age did your social circle stop partying regularly?

Uhhh... my social circle never partied like that. As folks start having kids and/or moving away, we see less of each other.

They haven't. 1 or 2 of us have grown up and gotten married/had kids but the rest still hit the bar every Friday. sad really.

From the age of fifteen, I ran around with a big group of delinquents; we were constantly skipping class, stealing cigarettes and alcohol, and pilfering our parents houses for cash to go in on large amounts of weed, pills, and psychedelics.

Years passed and things slowly changed. We gradually split into groups with different focuses; a few became gear-heads, moped and scooter enthusiasts with a habit of binge-drinking. Myself and a few others became more interested in psychedelics, coupling habitual marijuana and LSD use with an enthusiasm for armchair intellectualism (we sit around and discuss philosophy, politics and culture in ways that are frighteningly stereotypical at times). Sadly, a few others became enamored with painkillers and ended up on the horse.

Now I am twenty-three and my social circle has deteriorated to the point where it is virtually unrecognizable. A friend of mine died earlier this year in a drunk driving accident. He was riding one of his beloved two-strokes without a helmet when his forehead kissed a side-view mirror at god knows what speed, fast enough to fragment his skull. This was only a few months after another guy in his crew was obliterated by a truck while riding around drunk.

Another passed away just a few weeks ago; he overdosed on heroin a few days after getting out of rehab. A guy I knew who I wouldn't exactly call a friend died doing the same heroin out of the same bag on the same day but in a different place, and given that particular fellow's typical companions and activities, I've wondered whether or not the drugs they purchased together were intended to be deadly.

Of those who are still living, most have been turned against each other in one way or another. One of my buddies started dating a girl who's kind of batshit, she became a source of conflict within the group when the second drunk driver died and she started talking about how 'only his real friends should be here' at his memorial. She had known him for about a year and was implying that people who had known him for five or six years were not worthy of attendance, probably because she'd been fucking him before he died and felt some strange sort of jealousy at our reminiscence of the distant past.

I hardly party at all anymore, as I have a two year old son and his breathtaking mother to provide for, but a few of my buddies still go pretty hard. They frequent bars and music festivals, but it's really just two of them. The rest have settled into a variety of mundane and typical lifestyles, and I rarely communicate with any of them.

tl;dr My social circle started dying, literally and figuratively, before we stopped partying regularly.

I never partied. I'm 26.

I've also not been friends with anyone who partied like that.
