After reading some of these posts I think I'll up the gym regimen a bit now too, I'm starting to believe that whole "a body in motion stays in motion" proverb that a lot of active seniors espouse
Hell my hangovers are even better now than they were in my 30's, I'm much more aware of keeping my hydration levels up during booze nights so a single Advil after waking up usually sets me right pretty quickly

It probably has a lot to do with how people are feeling mentally (and the shape they're in). I remember feeling OLD when I was 26-27 (probably because I was comparing myself to that 18-24 year old lifestyle). I felt so old at the bar, like I shouldn't even be there anymore.
Fast forward another 4-5 years, and I was friends with a group of dudes who were about 25-27. I'd watch them whoop it up at the bar, meeting girls & stuff, and I remember thinking "Why the heck did I feel so old and out of place when I was that age?!?" Sometimes you just need to get out of your own head and go with the flow.
That said, I definitely don't have your constitution with booze anymore, it kicks my butt so hard the next day every time. But I try to keep a youthful mentality and stay active (easier to say when you're childless like myself)
