I was going to post, but your post (plus life experience) seems to say it all. I am most impressed.

As an additional note, I do want to tell the OP that this sort of thing does accumulate damage over time. While people seem to think that young people just plain regenerate and recover more quickly, the impression I've gotten is that you've still taken lasting damage, it just winds up showing up later. So even if you do this, in 20 years, you may very, very seriously regret it. (DISCLAIMER: Not an MD)

I can't really add much more, because you pretty much took the words right out of my brain.

There is nothing wrong with it, however you eventually will grow tired of it. Life tends to make things a little more interesting as you grow older and values change. Some morning you will wake up and you will wonder what it is all for. Then you go to get out of bed and it hurts, not getting out of bed, but everything... your body, your brain, you mind. Then you begin to think about all the things that you have missed out on in your drunken drug fueled sexcapades. Eventually you realize those vices (Drinking, Drugs and sex) are all nice in moderation, but in excess they are there to cover a deeper issue. Enjoy life but keep direction. Don't lose site of the fact that there is a bigger cause and that you did not spend half of your adult life going to school because you wanted to do nothing but drink, snort and fuck.

I like this answer. It's fun for a while but eventually you have to start living your life instead of just existing.

Oh the drugs I used to do.....and still do from time to time. I didn't get hooked, or die, or go to jail. But my friends did. Now at the age of 34 I get really sad thinking back on all the fun and knowing my best friend is so far gone because of coke/ crack that we can't even have a decent conversation. She feels the world owes her all of the time and there is no reasoning with her. My cousin, probably one of the coolest hippies you'd ever meet died from a heroin overdose. Two other friends due to alcohol. And several other acquaintances have met their demise or ended up in prison.

Have fun, just remember some can't handle it. Some will get hooked. Some will die.

And others will go on with their lives and get married and have kids.

If I were you, I'd party, but I'd find a way to squeeze school in there.

Almost everything is good in moderation. It seems your life doesn't revolve around those things, so it should be okay. I guess you'll just have to accept that you'll get judged by some people.

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.

As long as you're not harming others in any way and you don't expect handouts later on in life I don't see what the harm is.
