>Sure, it's cool to be a "player" for a little while in your late teens/early 20s, but it gets boring soon, just as the fun with alcohol and partying and many other things. Most of the people you know that 'did' go to parties and such, are dead bored of them at this age I agree. It's also not too late to host parties in your late 20s/early 30s, and I daresay they can be more fun that college parties. The experience of college parties for many students include: attending and speaking with people you're not likely to see again; playing drinking games (fun in the moment, but forgettable especially if you aren't friends with the strangers you meet afterwards); and (possibly if you were physically attractive and charismatic back then) casual sex. A person can create a better experience by hosting a smaller party with people they know, via hosting a wine night with people you know, so you create a fun experience and can deepen friendships with people you know (a lot of people would enjoy going to this one). Bachelor/bachelorette parties are possible for people about to get married, along with birthday parties. Drinking games are even possible. Casual sex less so, but to be honest, the vast majority of people at the college parties I went to didn't have casual sex anyways (besides, most guys I've talked to would agree that a meaningful relationship with someone is harder to find and more enjoyable). The bottom line is, there are still opportunities for the original poster to enjoy social gatherings with alcohol with people in the future, and it's less likely to be boring versus college parties where you don't know as many people.
