Answer 1

That's a very good point bleweyez, it's a hard thing to realise that your friends are really just your drinking buddies, I'm quitting drinking cause i'm fed up with being fat, wasting money and saying/doing stupid **** when drunk and then agonising in my head for days on end about how much of a d**k I was.

Of course you can still have fun, go to places that don't involve getting hammered, go and see some stand up comedy, some jazz etc just do different things.  I went to university 3 years ago and dropped it in the first year because of my drinking, luckily i'm having another go at this year with a totally different mindset.  I honestly think the whole drinking lifestyle of the student is a massive con that so many people buy into, it's ****. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Who cares what you drink?  Of course you can still hang out with your friends and have fun and not drink alcohol.  If your friends only want to hang out with you because you will party with them, then they are not your friends.  Instead I would say they were your drinking buddies.  

Have whatever you like to drink, focus on your education and enjoy your time in college, and your friends.  A good education will take you a lot further than a beer and a hangover!

Answer 3

It's possible. I gave it up because it just gets old and plus the weight gain isn't fun either. All my friends love to drink, but if I do I just have a couple or none. If people ask you why you aren't drinking who cares? Also you can act like you are drinking a mix if it bothers you..

Answer 4

Yes...I didn't drink in college and still stressed out over my grades... I got Cs & Ds ... had I been drinking those Cs & Ds would had been easily Fs...
