Partying all night -WHY?

OK, so you wanna have a good time, get drunk, have a boogie, BBQ, whatever. That's great.
But why do people start so late, then stay up to 3am or so?
Why not start 4 hours earlier, get to bed at 11, good nights sleep, have the whole next day instead of staying in bed?
I've never understood the mentality, why stay up all night?
😐

3 am is hardly all night! 😈

Why not start 4 hours earlier, get to bed at 11, good nights sleep, have the whole next day instead of staying in bed?

showing your age now!

8pm to 3am = 7 hours. To get 7 hours in ending at 11pm it'd mean drinking during work!

I also tend to find that once I've had a few pints I perk up and feel really awake

drugs?

coming home as the suns coming up and your coming down, especially in the summer can be the best part of the night

3am 😆

Usually I haven't even left the club by then, never mind the after party!

and the next thread from PP….

why do my neighbours have all night wild sex? 😆

Ahelloo.
Why doo yoo have to be up so late sonny jim. You are missing songs of praise don't you nooo?

6pm – get home

8pm – out the house after shower/shave/getting ready/snacking/few beers

10pm – finish dinner

4am – leave club

5am – get home (or elshwere)

Continue partying either with friends or whoever's bed you've ended up in

7am – sleep

Well said leggyblonde!!!

3am is only half the night! Some people actually start early afternoon and finish at 8am. 😀

Maybe if there were 36 hours in a day people could start earlier. Some people have busy lives.

Personally I try n start early, otherwise I am screwed for the rest of the weekend, as I dont have time to sleep any extra!

roper, that's a picture of ton, surely?

They are clearly having a much better time than you, and as Hora hints, have much more sex.

if you wanted to go 😯 for 36 hours what time should ypu start/ finish?

No, you're missing the point. I'm not complaining. I'm not saying I've not done it. I'm just asking why! And it's nothing to do with age, I've always felt like this.
🙂

Why – cos thats when the party is! If a party finishes at 3 am its rubbish. Round here pubs shut at 1 am. clubs at 4. Want to party on for an hour or two afterwards? 3 am is early.

I like to have my dinner before I go out – so dinner at 8pm – pub by 10, few drinks till closing time……………………

Born middleaged where we?

Chemical is the only substance that can keep you going.

If people are having a good time then why end it early? I'd much rather chill out for a few hours at home before i go to a party/BBQ etc than spend a day at work, get home and have to rush off out straight away!
I do hate wasting half of the next day in bed though!

I reckon you have to accept that a big night is an activity in its own right, and takes up most of the next day. It isn't compatible with having a plan to go riding or whatever. This is why I practically never go out. That and being middle aged. 😉

My longest is a 36 hour'er

Friday 5pm – Pub for opening game of 2006 world cup
Friday 11pm – Club
Saturday 4am – Afterparty
Saturday 8am – Pub
Saturday 3pm – House party
Saturday 8pm – Back to mine for a shower
Saturday 9pm – Pub
Saturday 11pm – Club
Sunday 3am – Called it a day

I think people just generally like having a good time and if you're out enjoying yourself why decide to end the night and go home to bed just because of what it says on the clock. Who care's what time it is ? sleep when tired, day or night doesn't really matter.

I sometimes get home from work and go to bed for an hour or so before I do anything else 'cause I'm a bit knackered to from a late night the day before.

I love sleeping, but not when there's a party on !

Kev

If a party finishes at 3 am its rubbish.

Yeah, but WHY?
If you're parting for 6 hours from midnight to 6am, why not start at 3pm the previous afternoon and finish at 11? That's 2 hours more!

When the children arrived, I stopped having all-nighters, so tend to stick to PPs party timeline.

It's a real bugger, no matter how late you stay up boozing and yarning, the kids still get up at 7ish and still expect to be fed and looked after.

Enjoy it while you can, you crazy cats…

No I dont mean I would party for 36 hours… There is not enough time in the day to do usual weekend stuff, go for a ride, tidy house, shopping, see a couple of friends, take dogs for a walk, etc… & a BBQ/Party finishing up by 11pm… Not enough hours in the day.

If it was a 36 hour party, then it would have to start at 2pm, so you get 2 nights. 😉

Because there is always one in the group who says "go on, just one more" and time becomes a bit wobbly and meaningless.

Sounds like the BBq i went to yesterday! 🙂

Mind tou the one I went to on Saturday started at 7pm and ended at 4am!

Prefered the Saturday one TBH

Because parties can only really get going after the sun goes down.

Who wants to start a party at 3 pm? Most folk are at work or if its a saturday doing other stuff. Its dinner then party so the party can't start until 9 – 10 pm.

Last afternoon bbq I went to still finished at 5 am even tho it started at 4 pm anyway.

Chemical is the only substance that can keep you going.

Any non-atomic substance could be considered a chemical, surely?

Personally I would rather start a party as late as possible, I hate early parties that ruin the latter half of a day when I could be doing other things.

Yeah, but WHY?

If you need to ask, there's no point telling……

Some people have kids, and don't wanna get drunk until they are in bed.

I think the most likely response to this question would be, 'why not?' As TJ said, earlier start times do not necessarily lead to earlier finishes.

Personally I hate the wasted day/tiredness the day after so I like to get home in time for a cup of cocoa.

Maybe it harks back to our younger years, there was one weekend I got up at 8am friday and didn't get to bed till 11pm Sunday.

Jeesus, at no point in any part of my life have I managed that.

I have had a marathon sex session though that lasted from Friday night to Sat midnight on a girls parents bed when they were away on holiday. 😈

why stay up all night?

Because they still can?

When I was 18 I would stay up all night (drinking or otherwise having some kind of fun – never drugs though).

When I was 30 I could stay up till about 4am.

At 41 I am seriously flagging by 1am.

Once, lasting 5 minutes on Friday night, then next being able to perform 24 hours later doesn't constitute 'marathon'. 😉

mastiles_fanylion I fall asleep religiously at 10pm. So hopefully I will never be operating machinery or ontop of fatsimons other half 😆 😛

Is this a covert reference to the folk who were sharing Foreigner and Tina Turner with us on Saturday…… 🙂

🙂

Actually I know someone who was renowned for falling asleep on the spot and one day at work, he was fiddling under the bonnet of his car during his lunch break. He didn't turn up after the break so someone went out to find him and he had fallen asleep slumped over the engine. LOL!

PP do you drink?
It is defo an alcohol thing. I find I am usually warming up by about 11pm 😉

coming home as the suns coming up and your coming down, especially in the summer can be the best part of the night

i remember being in a club in Ibiza watching the sun come up whilst partying, it was an ace experience, 14 years ago now though 😥
