How times have changed, 18-52
When I was younger there was nothing I liked better than getting home putting my slap on doing my hair then off out with friends on a pub crawl around South Shields. South Shields used to be really good for a pub crawl, there were so many pubs close to each other, then we would finish off in Rupert's the night club, a few more drinks and dancing then off to the takeaway for chips then off home in a Taxi, in bed by 4 am. The only bit I really hated was getting home into bed then as soon as you turn the light off the room starts spinning, I had to sleep with the light on most nights.
I started going out night clubbing when I was 18, used to go 4 times a week sometimes coming home around 6 in the morning after spending a few hours talking to the taxi lads, I would get home no sleep get washed and ready then go to work, mind by the time tea time came round I would start to lag and need a lie down, by the time bed time came I would be out like a light ready for another night out.
Now I am 52 I like nothing more than outside getting dark pulling the curtains shut, get in my Pjs then settle down with my dog around my neck, that's me done for the night, My treat now is Hubby makes me a cup of coffee around 8 pm with a chocolate bar or a slice of cake. Its my one treat I look forward too.
Getting old has its perks, apart from the joint aches, pains and grey hair.
I haven't had drunken night for a very long time, I have the odd glass now and again, more around Christmas as I can't handle it anymore, 2 or 3 drinks I am ill the next day and possibly the day after.
I've done some silly things in the past, like falling asleep on the stairs, sliding down a door as I couldn't stand up straight, fighting with anyone and everyone, Ohh and the boys, Now that's another story :)

Old age isn't for sissies...I'm more than ten years older than you.
I'm a sissy :)
This sounds so familiar. I've got tons of stories about this time in my life. I've settled way down myself - lucky to be alive. Lol. Getting older does have its merits; one beer every once in a while is enough for me now in general.
We need to read your stories lol :)
Ah youth. Sometimes I'm amazed we lived through some of the things we did. LOL Thank goodness we didn't have camera phones and internet back then!
It did used to get very messy, imagine the pictures lol
....and the (questionable) fashion. I rocked some plaid bellbottoms and horizontal stripped shirts when I was a kid. Those photos didn't...um...survive the moves. LOL
I have had a few photos that got lost or burned, my wedding ones lol I hated them
I hear you. I am in the same boat now. I can't even remember my party days.
I bet you have a few steamy memories lol
