Re: 27 and never felt better
#2I'm 30 and partying until 10am or having only a few hours sleep leaves me incapacitated for a few days. I'm healthy, have an athletic build, get exercise, etc. I just can't do without sleep anymore.
While my income has greatly increased in the last half a decade or so, so have my financial and human responsibilities.

#3Conan O'Brian had a segment several years ago. There was a tiny tiny buck-toof India-indian who drew superhero comics. He showed a couple examples and they were huge breasted women. Ridiculously huge breasted women and the Indian got giddle.
In the Dune movie, Sting says, "All I see is an Atradies I want to kill."
There's a Monty Python skit with a restaurant owned by Brits that is hosting a table of Germans. I think this was 1970's. The Brit Maitre D, kept saying the word "War" and obsessing on WWII.

#4Late 20s is not "getting older" by any stretch of the imagination. In the West, it's (though this varies by social circle and class) roughly where you start to count as an adult, perhaps akin to what 19-20 would've been in a previous era.
The social aspect also depends on a lot of things, like coworkers and living arrangements. Some people aged 30 have almost exactly college-style lifestyles: live in a group house, party daily, go into the office at 10 or 11am. I think one reason the view that it's hard to meet people post-college became common is that those kinds of lifestyles were not really seen, outside of some hippies and beatniks, until recently.

#5Yeah I felt the same at 27. But then... you don't hit 30, 30 hits you. I'm not kidding.

#627? Pff! No much to talk about that age. Wait until you are 45, you will see.

I've been very surprised by this. I'm 37 and feel like I did at 27, but if I work through the night, like I used to do all the time, I am off-kilter for three-four days after. At the same time I cannot sleep past 10 am anymore, when I used to sleep in until 12 or one, given the option. Shit's weird.

Thirty-two checking in here, and yup, used to be able to knock back enough booze to kill a rhino when I was 27 and wake up feeling fresh as a daisy. I can drink even more now, but I pay for it by being dead the next day, no matter how much water or Gatorade I drink to help compensate.

#9I'm 28 and I can't party until late hours without consequences on my ability to do anything complex the day after. :/
But then, how boring is partying?

#10Being 30 was awesome. I wouldn't worry about 30... I'm pretty sure I recall it being fun.
