There is a ceiling on how much you can spend on these things. Generally it is not fun to get drunk or high that frequently, and in the limit you die.

I'm not and never have been into drugs, alcohol and clubbing, so I don't know the limit.

The most I've seen was a ~1k EUR monthly budget for drugs by a person I knew whose main hobby was drugs. It's not astronomical, but we were both students in ~300 EUR/month dorms. It also affected his career progress. Lectures at 8 AM don't mix well with coke the night before.

With cars, the sky's the limit. I'm making 6 digits, and I can still ruin myself financially in a weekend.

And it's not just financially. I love motorcycles because they're cheap, but if I have a proper accident, it'd set me back months if not forever.
