16-25ish. Had DS at 26 so that rather knocked my young wild and free days on the head, although I grew out of clubbing at around 22/23 so it’s more the travelling side of things that we were doing. I’d say that my peak clubbing, crawling in at 6am, one night stands, working whilst still drunk etc. era was 17-22.

Also I guess it depends what you mean by wild. I spent most weekends as a 13-16 year old hanging around parks smoking very poor quality weed and drinking cheap vodka now you mention it…

Autiebibliophile · 31/10/2023 05:29

15-19 and 28-33. Looking forward to the next lot!!

JustWhatWeDontNeed · 31/10/2023 05:33

14-19 with a few relapses pre 24. Now late 30s and overdue a resurgence, but I'm tired.

Aquestioningmind · 31/10/2023 05:47

14-16. Got it together for my A levels and University.

Didnt even drink at uni and thought those who did were saddos!

23-30, best times! Met DH at 30, happily married now etc, but do miss that crazy time esp now living with teens, HRT, etc etc

Never had any, nor wanted them. I have always preferred a quiet life.

17-25

SierraSapphire · 31/10/2023 06:12

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.

mjf981 · 31/10/2023 06:14

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

Bournetilly · 31/10/2023 06:15

16 to 19

  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.
Binningtonianrose · 31/10/2023 06:38

46-48. Divorce and liberty.

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.

YouJustDoYou · 31/10/2023 06:42

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

amidsummernightsdream · 31/10/2023 06:52

Burpsandrustles · 31/10/2023 06:53

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.

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.

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"

Yirk · 31/10/2023 07:16

14 to 25 ish

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.
