The opportunity cost is just so high. You will never get these years back, and time invested now in more wholesome activities like learning something that makes a lot of money will pay off a greater ROI than you will get later. Basically, if you don't think there is a race, you are losing the race.

There's nothing wrong with that, but realize your youth is only a fraction of your whole life time. You're not gonna be able to get drunk every night, hit on pretty girls, and do drugs when you're a 60 year old man. At some point you'll have to move on from that lifestyle.
I'm sure you feel that way now and it seems like the party will never end. But what happens when you turn 40? Do you want to be that old creepy guy at the party? Do you want to still be working your dead end job and living with roommates in a shitty apartment? I would love to get high all day and work an easier job, but I know that there are things I want out of life and the only way to get there eventually is to busy my ass. Maybe you don't want a house or kids someday, but you should at least give your future self the option by getting some of the work done now.

No, it's not. But expecting all the things you've done in the past to just vanish is wrong. There will be consequences for your actions. Basically, there's nothing wrong with it but don't go crying to the world when people judge you for it, or you don't get the job you want, or you don't have enough money to afford a new house or whatever else.
