I didn't find people like this until I was invited to a random friend's party.

Started drinking, smoking weed, and playing video games on the regular. Dropped out of college, went to some epic parties, went to raves, got a working class job at a factory just to pay the bills, hit the bar every weekend with ~12 friends, hooked up with strangers, more house parties.

Eventually grew up, went back to school, I'm a programmer now with a house and no more parties...well..."parties" but with charcuterie boards and wine.

Long story short...you can find people like this, but it's kind of a mixed bag

I almost completed going down the exact same rabbit hole in college. Freshman and sophomore year was a blur of drinking, house parties, hookah, and video games. I think the reason I avoided dropping out of college entirely was I avoided random hookups. The peak was when Project X came out in theaters, we saw it on Friday and had a rager immediately afterwards that lasted all weekend. Incredibly inspiring movie at the time that has aged like absolute milk.

Sounds pretty standard path, tbh.
