I hear you! I don’t drink. There was nothing in my post at all about getting wasted. The point is to go out however you can, but to go out and enjoy yourself—even if it’s at noon!

I was a huge huge partier when in my teens and twenties so I've got a real Pavlovian response when it comes to clubs and live music venues, they are associated so much with being wasted that I don't enjoy them sober. It's a me problem, I realize. You didn't mention the need for drugs or booze to stay up. Since I don't use anymore I prefer activities that don't trigger the "this would be even more fun with a bag of coke" reaction that dance clubs give me. Great article, I agree it's vital to keep on going out and living life. Personally I just have to wrap it up earlier than I did 40 years ago.
I totally hear you on this. It's possible I sold you something or painted you with UV body paint at one of those raves back in the day! When I do go to a city and have a real night out, usually if a friend's band is opening for a band we all worshiped when we were young, I drink. Don't do that very often at home. I love the one evening of mayhem and music, just 1-4 times a year, but wouldn't want to attempt it more often.

I get you! And thank you! I sneak out of concerts by the encore, usually. Even seeing some of the set is worth it to me.
