15 - 18 and then I got pregnant and my life changed forever.

Late 20s to early 30s ( just before DCs) then late 40s to late 50s (once DCs were older). All centred around music. Stopped due to Covid and other interests took over.

Never really wild...wildest time probably uni days.

TheresaBouvey · 31/10/2023 07:32

Never

i was a sensible girl and met my husband at 20

i am saving it up for old one, maybe when I am 70

25-29 - basically between relationships lots of going out, fun & casual sex. Before & after in steady relationships & definitely not wild at all

AceofPentacles · 31/10/2023 07:29

14-36 (when I got pregnant)

dudsville · 31/10/2023 07:25

34 to 39. I was a responsible youth, late to uni where i worked hard, then worked diligently to establish my career, then shook off an awful marriage and had the time of my life!

PermanentTemporary · 31/10/2023 07:20

I hadn't even thought about drink or drugs tbh, that wasn't part of my wildness. It was about taking risks for me.

Yirk · 31/10/2023 07:16

14 to 25 ish

allsfairin · 31/10/2023 07:13

what are people classing as "wild" at 16? Some teens can be pretty pathetic, and just very selfish and poorly behaved, but I wouldn't class most teenager behaviour as "wild"

Aozora13 · 31/10/2023 07:04

14-24 very wild, 24-30 medium wild, 30-34 occasionally wild, 34-42 had 3 DC and developed a chronic illness so entirely un-wild.

RosesAndHellebores · 31/10/2023 06:59

I had freedom, new experience and thrilling days probably between 18 and 25. Never wild though. Lots of wonderful nights and events and lots of dates but no drugs or rock n roll type stuff and no dodgy or non consensual sex.

YouJustDoYou · 31/10/2023 06:42

Late teens, early twenties before my life went to shit.

izzygirlis4 · 31/10/2023 06:40

I'm 47 and I'm living my best life.
I do what I want when I want. I'm out partying most weekends
I don't give a fuck. Loads of sex, laughing and fun.

Binningtonianrose · 31/10/2023 06:38

46-48. Divorce and liberty.

Wolfen · 31/10/2023 06:16
  1. First year at uni but I don't think it would class as wild inmost peoples opinion. Just mine. Mostly just partying and staying out all night with friends.
Bournetilly · 31/10/2023 06:15

16 to 19

mjf981 · 31/10/2023 06:14

32-37ish
It was the 20's I never had in so many ways..

16-32
I always thought that mine went on longer than other people's (coping with trauma) so I'm really interested to see a fair few late 20s / early 30s. I don't drink now and I don't think I ever will again for health reasons probably connected to the partying.
