It seems like in most places in the USA, you get the drinking and partying out of your system in college and after that, you're not supposed to do it all or there is something wrong with you if you aren't "mature" after the age of 25.
For those of us who never had a chance to get a taste of "the college experience", the wild parties, binge drinking, and friends to enjoy all of that with; what areas of the USA offer that opportunity?
Where in the USA would it be common to see people from the ages of 25-35 drinking, partying hard, and doing so at a level that rivals that of a college freshman?

NYC/Miami/Chicago/Vegas are probably top dogs. Likely a few others as well.

Not exactly. There's still quite a bit of partying after age 25 in most major cities on any given weekend. The differences between cities would be during weekday nights. If you live in a city that has a high % of business professionals working 80 hr. work weeks (e.g. DC), chances are you won't see a ton of partying during the week. If your city has a large university or is a major tourist destination (e.g. French Quarter, South Beach, Vegas), then you have a critical mass of partiers every single night of the week.
I'm guessing Vegas, Miami, and New Orleans too but most of the partying is probably done by tourists in those places and although I'm sure that there are locals that party frequently there too I'm not sure if they fit your description because I have never lived in those places
I would imagine cities commonly cited as being boring, like Dallas, would have more people above such age partying, since you can party essentially anywhere (provided there are enough people and alcohol, since the OP mentions drinking). I party somewhat often but it is usually small, only about twenty five to fifty people, and at a person's house rather than some club or bar.
That is almost everywhere OP. The 25-35 crowd parties strong across the country these days, especially with all the single people in those ages relative to past generations.
I live in Florida and heck I still see the 45-55 crowd parting hard. The world is changing and getting married and having kids doesn't mean sitting in the house not being social for 20 years.

There's a reason people grow out of this. Hope that helps.
