Hi there,

Will you please give me the adjective(s) describing such a person? (I'm looking for more informal ones.)

I think you need phrases like "live life to the fullest", "have a good time", etc. An adjective may be "hedonistic".

Thanks. 'Hedonistic' sounds to be formal though, doesn't it?

I'm not sure how informal you want to go, but "party animal" is a common term for someone with a busy, even frenetic, social life.

He gained a reputation as a party animal and paid the price for his lifestyle. (independent.co.uk)
It turns out I'm a party animal, and I really enjoy hanging out with students. (guardian.co.uk)
Respected piano-popsmith and Nashville resident Ben Folds isn't much of a party animal. (tennessean.com)
