play hard
Give your all
Play hard means to engage in leisure, partying, or recreation with intensity and commitment.
The phrase typically appears alongside work hard: She works hard and plays hard.
Someone who plays hard pursues fun as vigorously as they pursue professional goals—drinking, socializing, or adventuring without restraint.
The implication is that moderation applies to neither effort nor enjoyment.
