In your peak partying days, how long were you able to go? (1 Viewer)

Growing up in Montreal bars closed at 3am, no one left before that. And if you were really in the mood to party you could always find an "after hours" club.
. How's that even possible??

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4
Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep

I didn't mention it in my OP, but yeah they were doing lines as well.
I was surprised, to say the least, when they whipped it out. Like, what is it, the 80s?
But like I said, I'm not partier and these are frat boys. I didn't stand a chance

let me know if you do it and i'll give you our itinerary. We're all married and 40 so it's not going to be about clubs and lappies... but we're doing the luxury car laps, the sand dune buggy extreme race (for draft position), draft at twin peaks, league dinner at a swanky steak place.
I miss my phase 1 Vegas years... club, poker, strip joints, etc. I miss that quite a bit.
But I'm perfectly fine with my phase 2 Vegas life... going with the wife and hitting a show and fancy dinner and checking out the 22 y.o.'s at the pool, going with the guys just to hang out and do some cool activities... it's fine.. I can't hang with my phase 1 self anyway... I tried to 5 years ago and it was a fail of epic proportion.

You are wondering how they managed to stay up all night, and didn't mention they were doing blow. I think we can wrap this investigation up, Columbo.

Most major cities, coke is nearly as ubiquitous as booze and weed among the youngsters. It never went anywhere.

I spent a week in Vegas once... about 5 years ago. It was the closest I've come to dying. 4 days tops moving forward.

I'll just leave now.
Little naive, maybe.
But really, being naive about drugs and such is nothing to be embarrassed about. Wish I was a heck of a lot moe naive about them.

well, the dying part was a bit of a stretch.. i meant the cumulative damage of the week felt like what it must be like to be really sick.Recap of the epic fail / almost dying in vegas story?
But I have no idea what happened, but when security guards are waking you up on the floor outside of your room and you have no wallet, no id, are blackout drunk, and have no earthly idea how you got there, and then the higher up security people have to open your room and have you describe the contents of your room, your bag, etc to be allowed in.... that's pretty damn bad.
I estimate I walked by myself from the MGM Grand to Mandalay bay.... and my feet were killing me as well as the rest of me.
Fortunately, the MGM called me the next day with my wallet.. although someone took the $400 or so of cash.
Apparently the night included a limo, a horrible all-in at the poker table, and many other dumb things... although since I left my party and was by myself for a significant amount of time.. I truly never know what actually happened.

On our Vegas trips (arrive Friday night, leave Monday night red-eye) if we wanted to be extra responsible and healthy we would maybe get as much as 4 hours sleep total during the 72 hour span. Minimum of 36 hours or so before the first quick nap.

Pro-Tip: One hour at an oxygen bar is roughly equal to 4 hours of sleep.
Last time I was in Vegas I was trying to finish up the rest of my blow while in the security line at LAS. I always forget to check that damn small 3rd front pocket.

There are like twenty of us in our league. Most of the guys were from my high school, and probably half were in my fraternity. I'm one of the few teams without a partner.
We have had Vegas discussions, but the itinerary will be a nightmare. Some of the guys are not super high rollers, so I'm not 100% we can pull it off. Maybe a gofund me would work if we set up a secret thread with pics and/or video somewhere for supporters to be part of the trip online. It would be Jack ### style I bet. I am sure it would be a train wreck with this crew, just don't need arrests. We are pretty good at keeping things under control and pushing the limits. I gotta think about this. Just Spit Ballin here.
Fwiw, your trip sounds really cool. Most of us are 40-44 also btw. I wish we all had dentist money.....

yeah, i guess that does help, this is an entire league of dentists, 1/2 of whom are specialists.. I suspect each person drops $1500+ in the weekend just on room, draft, activities, plane, etc... and that's with sharing rooms.
I'm used to planning things for my local friends.. and so I initially had us set up with everything at the Mirage... and too many dudes came back and said that wasn't a nice enough place (I thought it was pretty decent since the re-do) and so we went with the Venetian.. I wasn't going to let them push it to the Wynn.

Well, that's how they stayed up that late. You might be surprised how you could hang with the frat bros when your heart is beating out of your chest from a few toots. I don't partake these days. It's cut too much, and just messes up my nose. It really is a hell of a drug though. Midnight turns into 4am in the blink of an eye.

I'm not addicted to coke, I just like the way it smells.

No, Vegas is a blast.
Drink at the pool all day, go take a disco nap, then dinner and more partying.
But the nap is key. Vital even.
Sleep from like 4-8. Wake up, ####, shower, shave, and you good to go.
When you done, you done. It's not a competition, and if it was, you opponents are using performance enhancers.

I like the blonde with big glasses and really red lipstick at the 5:36 mark. Anyone here know her?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around frat boys as some sort of partying barometer.

That sounds like a lot of mountain dew and enough cheetos to trash a couple of controllers.EYLive said:

God I miss drinking more. I could go till sunrise if I had people to enjoy it with that liked the same right now, but that's not the case.
A fond memory of mine was starting on bottomless Mimosas at the local fantastic french toast breakfast joint, then walking across the street to nail a Philosophy final while tipsy, then walked back to the other side and start on $5 Sierra Nevada pitchers day drinking on St. Patrick's day. Followed that with getting a case of one hour extreme food poisoning, waking up and challenging the neighborhood to beer pong contest and winning 10 straight matches with my girlfriend playing doubles with me. Every macho team around was ####ting themselves as we were ruthless. We finally lost and continued drinking till black out drunk awkward white people dancing occurred for apparently 3 hours. Then we managed to walk home and said girlfriend fractured her toe on the sidewalk so I get her all patched up once we get back. After that happened I challenged our roommate to one last game of pong with the only two drinks left in the fridge, Mikes Lemonades. I lose the straw pull and get the mango one. It contains a trace amount of passion fruit not listed on the label and I have a full blown allergic reaction till about 7AM the next day. I get a few hours of sleep and pop out of bed at 10Am as everyone is just dead and the girlfriend and I head off and get the toe loooked at by the schools med station.
Good times.

We have gone on a week long music themed floating party cruise (see BluesCruise.com for details) in the Caribbean 8 times since 2004. Until this past year I was able to drink & party from noon to about 5am which is pretty much when music is playing (that is for at sea days, id shut down at 2 or 3am when we were going ashore the next day). The past two years I have found that I run out of steam at 2AM & if I push it past that, the wheels fall off the next day. Embrace & respect your body's limitations.
Pacing yourself is the key now.

Here is one of my longest partying stories that began with a boating day. I may have told parts of this story before.
There is a little dive bar on the Hillsborough river named Rick's on the River that has a boat ramp. We dropped in there before noon, and went out past downtown to this little party island locals call "beer can island". Along with the usual drinking, smoking, & partying, I also ate a bunch of mushrooms. We went back to Rick's and hung out at the bar a little while. My trip was wearing off, but I was already on another level. We trailer the boat home, then hit up a local bar. We left that place at close, 3am, and bring back a few girls. One of them is pretty hot, the other isn't, but has huge #### with Farah Fawcet nips, which she was pulling out. We started fondling her #### as she proceeded to hoover up our plate of blow. One thing leads to another, and I'm on my way home with the 2 girls. I must have been pretty messed up, cuz my buddies told me I got in the car seat in the back of the suv. So we drop off the hot chick at her car, then I go home with the fat chick. We have to sneak in her house because her babysitter is there with her son. Turns out she has a husband, who is out of town doing something for the BP oil spill. We screw around, have sex, then her kid starts banging on the door saying he wants to cuddle. I felt like a pretty low pos at that point. She ends up sneaking out of the bedroom, taking the kid to a babysitter, then comes back and we got it on some more. Its probably like 10am at this point. She finally dropped me off at my car, then I got to my house around noon.
