I think if I was 20 and independently wealthy, I would have worked on side projects for 6-18 months until I found something / someone to get sucked into.

But I will agree, it really depends on the person. When you're young and have a lot of energy, drinking 2-3 beers throughout the day might seem like a good idea. I never did; but the fact that many people are blissfully unaware of how 2-3 beers throughout the day impacts them still shocks me.
