25-35, drinking, concerts, bars. Some non-alcohol activities.
[after this time a majority of my friends have had kids and/or been priced out of my city]
35-45, Coffee catchups, work parties, activities like D&D. Traveling to see older friends. Slowly learning how to socialize without alcohol.
It does require more effort the older you get. I can get introverted, making it harder to invest the effort. Having an outgoing wife has really helped me in this regard.
