Grammar
The old ways / in the old ways
1. It's just like the old days.
2. we are going to have some fun and wash it overselves just like in the old days.
I thought the underline of sentence (1) and that of sentence (2) is very similiar pattern.
but sentence(1) doesn't have a prepositon "in" but sentence (2) does.
I don't understand this difference.
Could anyone tell me about that problem?

I suggest that 'in' is optional here, that is all. e. it could refer to everything 'in the old days' as a whole.
