No. There is no pleasure of any kind there. Think more along the lines of, "where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched." More like you are set on fire like an ignited duraflame log with worms eating your insides. Forever. With no hope of ever getting out. Never ending torment.

No, because the Bible also specifies that in there will be excruciating pain and suffering and you will be consumed with an unquenchable flame and the worms will crawling and out of all of your body cavities. You will suffer until the end of time a terrible thirst that will never be quenched. All of this will happen as PUNISHMENT for all of those "fun" sins you mentioned. God does not want this for anyone, so whoever is thrown into Gehenna (hell) has made a conscious choice on his own to prefer eternal pain and suffering to repentance and turning to a gospel life.
On the other hand, if you take the narrow and dimly lit road to heaven and live according to the Commandments which may not make you popular or give you fleshly thrills, and try to avoid the "fun" stuff knowing it offends God, you may or may not live a life of suffering on this earth, but your reward in heaven will be of eternal joy and happiness more than anything you can think of on earth in a place where there is no pain or suffering,
So, you just go ahead and do all that "fun" stuff thinking there will be more of it in hell, but I warn you, you'll be shocked and sorry.

Yes, the Bible speaks of Sex, drinking and things that are not of God. I'm not sure I understand the last sentence?
Hell is FOREVER and HELL is NEVER OVER. You see, when you belong to Christ you have no desire for these things, why?, Because you now have the Spirit of God living in you. There is FREEDOM in Christ. Heaven awaits us, with our final destination is going to be Jerusalem, as the word states,A New Heaven and a New Earth will be brought down,
and the lion will lie with the sheep and the serpents will not bite while the Children play. We are already on a collision course, everything is being set-up(so to speak)first Russia will invade Israel along with Iran and many Muslim Countries.
The Tribulation period is going to be beyond anything that a human mind can comprehend it will be so horrible. I challenged you to read, Daniel: 7 -12. Think About It!

You're missing the 'excess' part.
Sex is good and God wants you to have it when you're in the confines of a loving marriage. We must go forth an multiply, sex is the only way to do that. God wouldn't have given us erogenous zones if we weren't to have pleasures - again, it's meant to be between married parties. We saw what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah; and Jesus told the prostitute to 'sin no more'.
You can drink - Jesus did; but we shouldn't get drunk. As for drugs, I'm not sure as the Bible does not specifically say. However, I'm sure as you don't do anything that leaves you in a state where your senses are so nulled that you may fall to temptation - its a no no.
As for Hell... eternal darkness, lots of pain where you wish someone would kill you to get you away from the everlasting torment.

First none of sex, drugs or alcohol are sins by themselves. Having sex with you wife/husband is far away from sin, take drugs for healing yourself is OK, and drinking a whiskey will not send you to hell.
Second: Its no place in the bible to say so. It says the 10 commandments which are far more rich than a list of not to do. they are guidelines for happiness here on earth and later on Heaven.
Last. The Hell is all the bad things together, as is the farthest place from God, Who is the source of good.

Actually, te Bible says sex and alcohol are gifts from God and rather good. Drug using would probably be classified as evil because of the damage they bring upon an individual, those around, and society in general.
Sex & alcohol can be misused in a similar manner and that is when the doer/user becomes wrong. Things - sex/alcohol are morally neutral. It is the user of such, like a gun etc, who becomes tainted.
Because misuse is one of the first things hell is intended to destroy, death being the last, a person intent on hell is only minimizing his/her options in the future.
You have made a superb start by the way, in recognizing there is a future life related to one's behavior in this life. Bravo.

Luke 16:22-25 Jesus writes;
The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.
In hell, where he was in TORMENT ,he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him,
"Father Abraham, have PITY on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because i am in AGONY in this fire."
But Abraham replied," Son, remeber that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.
And beside all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.
Please son't be deceived - the words agony - torment - ect. don't mean pleasurable sex and sociable drinking .
The Lord wants you to have eternal bliss - in heaven
He is a "just" God *
God does'nt send people to hell - He just honors their choice !
God Bless you , Honey I hope you find your answer in the Lord.

Hell was portrayed by the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.
It is complete isolation from God and his wonderful heaven (unfathonably greater than this earth). You can't even get a drop of water let alone partying since you will be in isolated for eternity.
A drop of water can also mean the water of life which gives Salvation. You will regret for ever for missing the boat - to eternal
life with the only and greatest creator of us all.

No, way off base. You can drink, just in moderation. Drugs are Illegal, it's not just against God's law it's against mans. And you can have sex, there are millions of married people having wonderful, some even a little kinky, sex lives. If you go to hell, you will be in a literal lake of fire, where you will spend eternity. You won't be alone, there will be lots of screaming people there, screaming in agony because the fire burns their flesh, but it stays on. To keep burning.

Sorry, you are talking about pagan mytholgoy. The Bible doesn't say that at all. The Bible says that every body who sinned will be allowed to return to his origin, which is dust. The only activity in hell is weeping and gnashing of teeth before you return to ashes.
Malachi 4:1-3. Revelation 20:7-10.
