For me I started to slow down at 23, and started feeling the effects of aging at 26 or so. at 28 I am starting to feel old, but I know it will get alot worse. I'm mostly going by how fast my body tissues recover afer stress. Like for a long time I never had joint problems in the mornings, and I never woke up with my muscles all cramped and siezed after doing too many drugs. I no longer feel invincible. I used to love staying up all night, now I still do it but just makes me feel like shit.

age is but a number to me. i dont think 27 is old, because i've flirted, and have found a few ladies of that age group extremely attractive.

I was dropping off a friend at his apartment this summer, and I guess his friend saw him and asked him later "was that your dad?" Well, stick a fork in my youth, cause it's done.
This entire thread makes me feel ancient. Fuck every one of you.

im almost 24 and while i do feel the 'slowing down' effect i find that it can be dealt with and overcome. and at certain times i feel more energetic than ever before, when i can actualize. staying up really late is a good way to do that actually.
interesting fact, i read in a very weird far out yoga manual once that the body normally 'anabolizes (grows)' cells until age 25 and 'catabolizes (death)' of cells occurs after that. I know some would scoff but i found the timeline interesting.
The manual itself was actually about the 'science of immortality' and obviously Kriya Yoga was the solution, through a yoga practice it's true that you can energize your cells and reverse many of the standard slagging effects that years seem to add on.

Being old is subjective.
I think its a mindset really to be old, when you start to realize all the mistakes of your youth, and understand that you are done making them. Its a maturity thing, its a collection of choices you make that when others see you doing them you are labeled as "old".
Because I know 50 year olds that use to make and sell meth with my 20 year old friends, this guy would still party like he was 21, always happy, being stupid and just acting like a full blown party animal. But no matter how young he acted he was still visibly old. He had graying hair, and weathered skin but his soul was not.
So you cant avoid aging, you cant avoid looking older but thats going to come at different times for everyone, some people look 50 at 30, some people look 30 at 50 its just how you age.
SO...its comes down to how you feel, when you start feeling, and acting older is when you are old, when that will be is different from person to person.
But if you want the question answered, I'll say around 30, if you are still acting like a young person at 30, chances are you are not going to change how you are acting, and stay that way until you die.
But again, its subjective.

Yep I know what your saying. I'm 23 and I can feel the last 5 years of heavy drug and alcohol use weighing me down. Although I do feel it can be overcome with good rest and eating on the healthy side. When I just sit around and sleep all day I feel like crap. If I sleep 6-8 hrs get up, eat a lite breakfast, smoke a bowl, then I feel like I can do anything.

Late 20's,30, somewhere around there. It's hitting me hard about now, and I'm 28. I think it's partially my biological clock telling me to grow up and do things normal adults do. 
I have no responsibilities to anyone but myself though. I imagine someone who has kids and/or gets married in their early 20's would give an earlier age.
Physically I notice I feel different from my teens / early 20's. My party stamina is a bit less, and my metabolism has definitely slowed a bit. I still look roughly the same though.
Mentally I don't feel much different, except a bit wiser, more patience, and less angry.

Agree that 26 marks the official end of youth.
Lol @ the poster who's 28 and admits he knows it'll get a lot worse.
Yes sir. It will. A WHOLE lot worse. Knock your ass dead in the grave worse, in fact.

but does life really progress in such a fashion or is it pretty much the same ups and downs and after one such down, your body stops working entirely. and all along the way, as far as quality of life goes, that's completely up to you.

Sounds cliche but I think its true. When you're younger, there are lots of easy "milestones" that you can generally base your age on (graduating high school, college, etc.) After these are done its really up to you.
I'm older and wiser, but generally don't feel much "older" than I did in my late 20's, as I approach my mid 30s.

Sure! Go to the doctor with osteoporosis. I'm sure you'll be relieved when he tells you to have a good attitude.

Maybe if you start practicing now you can make it to the NBA! If you lack natural ability you can practice 8 hours a day for 40 years. With the right attitude it won't matter if you're 75.
