Partying - How much is too much?

Being at a young age and finally achieving independence, I've found myself in a new circle where it appears that they have an average of 3-4 parties a week involving various drugs, the predominant one of course being alcohol. Problem is I have poor impulse control and always engage in the substance use and always accept every invitation. Now I am reconsidering this due to health concerns. My two main concerns about this is:

What would be the long term consequences of extensive partying of that nature?

What kind of limit in terms of frequency would one (you) set in regards to avoiding addiction (and to what substances such as alcohol, oxycodone, various benzos, whatever you can think of that is likely to occur in such a setting) specifically and all the baggage along with that?
 
it will turn into an everyday thing quickly at the rate your going especially if oxy/benzos are involved

take it from me.. in college at first i partied like thurs fri and sat, then it was like all the time drinkin n smokin, then eventually oxy just took over and opiates fucked me. 24/7 getting fucked up.
 
Regarding the addiction bit, no one can really say for sure as everyone is different. I partied (and still do) at a similar rate and experimented with just about everything (short of needles) and never really developed a problem. At the same time, I've had friends who followed the same habits but ended up with very serious addiction. There are just too many factors involved, including genetics, upbringing, education, and environment, for anybody to really know. Be careful.
 
This is a pretty personal question, and can really only be gauged by the individual doing the partying and suffering the consequences.

If you find yourself unable to say no, despite knowing that there will be a negative outcome or negative consequences, I would take that as a warning sign.

If you start blowing off responsibilities such as school, work, or family, that would also be a sign.

Be young and have fun, but be smart :)
 
Instead of asking how much partying is too much (which is safe in itself), you should be asking yourself how much drugs is too much. You can party without doing drugs, if you hang out with the right people, and have enough willpower to say "no" if something is offered to you. If you really wanna avoid addiction, I'd suggest only partying/doing drugs once a week. 3-4 times is quite a lot, and could lead to an addiction if you keep it up.
 
When your dead? ;)

In all honesty when it's interfering with responsibilities. As soon as it starts to, you gotta keep yourself in check else it will get out of hand. Varies from person to person and amount consumed, some can party quite a lot and still cope (minority) and some people can't even go out once a week without messing up something. If you're very impulsive I'd try keep it to weekends only. If you aren't hungover the next day that's also a plus - keep it that way.
 
I associate the term "partying" with drinking alcohol. I did my fare share of that in high school, ironically before turning 21. After I started using opiates I completely stopped drinking alcohol and smoking pot. I haven't had a drink in over a year. I think people should go out and have fun, sure, but you can party without drugs and alcohol....God I sound like my Dad....
