wait what? Complete opposite for me. When I was in school I would hang out after school all the time. Work days are much longer and I have other responsibilities so now it's more rare to have time.

I retired in January after 40 years (not counting jobs during college). Marriage collapsed not long after (unrelated). So now I live alone and have nothing on my calendar. It's honestly so very strange not having to go to bed early on a weeknight. Also, for some reason, the hours and days go very slowly, but the weeks and months go very quickly. Time is fundamentally different than it was previously.

You've gotta replace "school" with "work." They're basically the same thing anyway - prison - but at least you won't feel silly.

I'm 40, haven't been in school for 18 years, and "I can't, it's a school night" is a common refrain from me when my friends try to get me to stay out drinking. Everyone understands, no one argues (well, sometimes they'll plead one more time). So, I will not be updating my phrasebook for correctness

Yeah, right. You’re a teacher, aren’t you?

Oh definitely nothing as noble as that

'work' just replaced 'school'. same restrictions usually apply, just with the "i'm an adult" modifier that lets you deviate with some degree of risk to your paycheck.

I work from home so if I want to I can drink on a work night and then roll out of bed 5 minutes before the start of my shift. At the start of the pandemic I used to do that, but you feel awful for like half the day when you do that.

I've been out during school nights. I've never been out during work nights. Being hungover and overtired at school vs being hungover and overtired at work are two vastly different things. I have the energy to sit in class and not listen 100%, but pretending I am fine at work and actually do work that I am required to do? That's a whole other difficulty level.
(Drinking is legal from 16 years, and students graduated at 19 years.)

I think what you're describing is a drinking habit

This is why college was peak. Later classes so I could afford to stay up later. Regularly was up until 3am in college. Not sure if I could last that long now.
