Yeah, I know very few young people who have classic hobbies. People in their early to mid twenties hobbies are drinking, fucking, and gossiping. People in their mid to late twenties hobbies are their husbands/wives/SO, kids, work, and if you don't have any of those talking about getting them. I'm painting both groups with a broad brush. I do know a few people into poker, sports, writing/reading, dancing (as in Salsa or something, not booty shaking at the club), but they are kind of in the minority.

I wouldn't say drinking is an inexpensive hobby. I paid $4.00 each for a smirnoff ice last weekend, and this was at a freaking DIVE bar.
No, 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I'm only doing 2 of 3 also, unless the second one includes...nevermind.
Grad school and work obviously takes up time, but I rarely talk about those.

I think I had more hobbies before I started having kids but at the moment:
Reading (although most of the time it is books that rhyme or only are 15 pages long)
Counted cross-stitch
baking (the 5 year old is usually my assistant for this one)
sleeping (preferably in my hammock)

Collecting hand built Franklin Mint and Danbury Mint Diecast cars. I have over 200 of them. Collecting race car memorabilia, mainly F1, Imsa, and NASCAR.
Drawing and reading about cars, history, NASCAR, Military aircraft, and astronomy.
Oh, and I love the driving simulators on my 360.

- I too love to make beaded jewelry! I actually used to sell it, but it became more of an expensive hobby. Then it became a nice tax shelter  . Now I do it for gifts. I also made 14 jewelry sets (earrings and necklaces, made of Swarovski crystals and sterling silver) for my friend and her bridal party.
- I also love cats -I have two fur babies.
- I just returned to working out, which quickly has become an obsession again
- I love to write. I used to be a reporter, a copywriter, and now do it for fun.
- Volunteering (mostly for the CF Foundation) but also with Gamma Sig
- I am currently taking acting classes. I majored in theatre my first 2 years of school before I transferred, and I realized how much I missed it.

First thought:
Ev'ry day for a week we would try to
Feel the motion, feel the motion
Down the hill.
Ev'ry day for a week we would try to
Hear the wind rush, hear the wind rush,
Feel the chill.

I have a lot of crafty type hobbies that I do when possible, but my main hobby is genealogy and other historical pursuits. I actually have a paying client right now!
