Doesn't sound wanky to me. Sounds much fun actually. I hardly do anything other than drinking with my friends these days which sucks.

After the soul searching induced by my recent break up I've come to the conclusion that but a very small subset my friends are actually just people that I've known for a very long time whose company I don't object to when drinking. I'm sure if they thought about it they'd say the same.

In response to this I'm making an effort to do more things with the people I still consider good friends as well as trying to meet more new people.

Hooray for (trying) to defeat my general dislike of the human race!

I found that at the time, most of the people I considered friends were just causal friends from Uni who I mostly went out drinking and clubbing with. Over the years, I've lost touch with the casual friends I had back then but still keep in touch with the closer friends.

Being 21 is a blast, but once you get older, your freinds will be fewer but your friendships will be deeper. I'm still good friends with some guys I knew from back when I was 12 and we still go on holiday together.
