And yet, after partying all holiday weekend, I didn’t meet many people who had decided to take a night off.

We keep going out anyway, of course, because God forbid we feel like we’re missing out on something, but nothing hits like it did back in June, when the whole summer was ahead of us and our energy reserves were still at 100 percent after our winter hibernation. Well, along came Labor Day, and suddenly - and I don’t know about you - partygoing had started to feel … laborious.
