Hey guys,
So I just started my first semester at a well-regarded MBA program and am getting settled into my routine, etc. After a few stressful weeks of orientation, classes, meeting new people, group projects, etc...things are calming down a bit, which is nice.
My question is, as I am 30 years old...some of the people are a bit younger than me (24-27 age range). That being said, many of them like to drink frequently and when they do, they go out HARD.
Myself, I have already lived that phase of my life in undergraduate and early/mid 20s, and while I still enjoy getting a nice buzz, having some drinks and chatting up some co-eds, it is more important to me to focus on my studies, getting good internships, and to elevate my health and fitness (bodybuilding, cardio, sports, etc). I love feeling in shape and the energy and focus that comes with it.
However, if Im constantly having to say "no" or tone down my drinking relatively when I go out, how can I still manage to hook up w/ some hotties (on campus or off campus in the city) if it seems most people around me are drinking to excess? I despise being hung over and wasting a day or 2 of my life recovering, as school is stressful/time consuming enough as it is.
I thought I would pose this question to the mature forum, to get the feed back from guys in their late 20s and beyond, how you guys manage to meet and greet the HBs in your area, without sacrificing the other areas of your life due to hangovers, lack of sleep, illness, etc etc that come with partying heavily.
Looking forward to some good responses, experiences and ideas.
best,
mike
