Being young helps. When I was in my twenties, I could do stuff like that (within limits) and still be somewhat functional the next day. These days it’s just not an option.
I remember taking an exam on 4 hours of sleep and acing it. Today, if I get any less than 6 hours I barely remember my own name. At 7 I am functional, at 8 at peak productivity
The dogs woke me up twice last night to potty due to upset tummies from a transient virus or whatever, so I got like 2 bouts of 2 hours of sleep max. I literally couldn’t remember my home address as I was drinking my first cup of coffee trying to get my day started with ordering stuff online.
I just had a baby, I am now very familiar with sleep deprivation and when it sets in! After a week of the baby waking me up every 2-3 hours, I literally couldn’t grocery shop. I was staring at the produce, then at my list, and neither made sense in my brain. I ended up buying random stuff because I knew we needed food, and somehow made it work until I could sleep a bit longer
I never went to a trivia night and didn’t stay at the bar drinking with my team afterwards. Have closed many a bar that way. To me, trivia night for us out, but the main event was just hanging with friends.
Looking back, we all had drinking problems. Some still do. I know that, if I go to trivia night, I’m having three or four beers, and so that’s not a Tuesday night activity.
I’m amazed at the shit I used to do. On more than one occasion I went into the city (there’s only one the city in America) and took the 520am train home (narrowed it down for you), just in time for floor hockey at the local JCC at 750am.

Stuff like what? Are trivia nights all-night wild parties where you are?
I feel like there’s very likely something I’m missing here.

Fair enough. To me that’d be a normal night out, rather than a trivia night. The latter being much less involved than the former!
Maybe not a wild party but definitely an occasion to have quite a few drinks.
How many is “a few” in this context?
Quite a few
