getting wasted in med school

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
this has to be a troll topic

If you're really that smart, in medical school you're going to be an average or maybe below average student. You'll be one of those people you described from undergrad that is struggling to make it through.

I'm not attending medical school yet (next semester whoo) but I'd imagine it's hard to drink 3-4 times a week. You'll definitely have to cut back, which you should do anyway for your health.

who is planning on continuing raging? ive had 4 years of credit card maxing, case killing, fifth finishing rage as an undergrad and i dont want to stop. ive never had to study very much or even attend class with 18-21 hour semesters and 2 majors, 3.9gpa, so im thinking....if everyone around me is struggling with like 12-15 hours, then how hard can M1 and M2 really be?

also, how many people actually drink 3-4 nights a week on here?

Did your personal statement have the line "I want to be a doctor so I can get lots of drugs at work..."?

Right...🙄
 
People go out...some more than others. Nobody is quite as douchey and trollish as you though.
 
I try to get out and about on either Friday or Saturday night. I occasionally arrived back at my apartment at 4 or 5 am during my first and second year of med school. Now that I have a girl friend, I am keeping more regular hours which is better for my health. And anyway, lying in bed at noon with a hangover really isn't that much fun, in my experience.

I do not know anyone who gets wasted 3 or 4 times per week. A recipe for disaster at med school. I don't believe that you could actually pull it off, inspite of your bravado.

You can't pull it off. I like the fact that now I don't wake up hungover because I know what I have to do the next day and know a hangover will ruin the plan.
 
Haha... right! If you are serious, I'd encourage you to start a blog documenting your fratty Medschool experience. I'd make time to witness your epic failing out of school.

You could do a total life-cast of med-school.

are you trying to impress random strangers on a forum? you just sound like a pathetic frat boy
My friends and I actually do drink 3-4 nights a week, but we never get drunk.
One day, you shall grow up and learn that drinking should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience instead of that jockish "let's-get-****faced" tradition.

Absolutely right. At the risk of sounding like a snob, I joined a wine society during med school. Enjoying a great bottle of pinot noir or cabernet with a friend over a good meal is much more satisfying than getting college boy drunk.

The problem with the OP is that he is an amature.
 
Troll or not I shall humor you...In college, specifically senior yr, I was drinking almost every night of the week (and I dont mean having a drink or two I mean going out and having at least 4 or 5 and more on the wknd) but I was realistic in realizing two things
1) It was a terribly unhealthy habit and I couldn't continue it for much longer
2) Med school will be time consuming EVEN if you are a genius

So basically I have toned it down, and occasionally I'll have a drink every night of the week but I'll only "go out" maybe 1-2 times a week mostly because as others have said waking up the next day with a hangover ruins any study plans you had for the next day(it's also expensive). On weeks where there is no test in site I have no problem getting drunk 3-4 nights a weeks but it's so rare (like maybe 3 or 4 weeks in the 9 months that i've been here). So to answer your question I doubt anyone gets drunk 3-4 nights a week in medical school more than what would be described as seldom (maybe 1 wk every couple months).
 
Ok the OP sounds like a complete dick. But just like all of us hate the "
Pre-Med" image/stigma or whatever you want to call it. How about we lose the frat boy gets hammered and never goes to class. Because believe it or not, not everybody in a frat gets hammered seven days a week.
 
+1...in fact many kids in my "animal house" fraternity beyond the partying and what not were very intelligent and often went to class regardless of having drank the night before or not. It is a stereotype for a reason, just like the pre-med stereotype has some credence but it is useless on these boards.
 
Well OP, you can still go out a couple nights a week as a med student but just plan on getting tipsy, not completely wasted. That way you can still have fun and be able to wake up at a decent time the next day to study.

HEAR, HEAR! 👍
 
OP, if you didn't drink in med school you wud be dishonest. The only reason the med school accepted you was likely because you were soooooooo successful while still drinking. I don't know if u cud be successful without drinking now that u are dependent.
 
Hey man, I love trolls.
 
I have a raging clue in that direction.

(southpark, anyone?)

Honestly, SDN is the first place I've heard "raging" used as a verb and/or a way of life. Maybe I need to "rage" more.

While party of me experiences secret joy when I see the weak people, who can't discover ways to release pressure by exercise and certain pursuits like music, turn to drinking, in the end I must be against such a habit.

While my personal goal is to strive for excellence, being in medicine is being part of a collective, with the overall goal of improving society's health.

So, while it may be personally advantageous for me to see my competitors handicap themselves with drug use, in the end, it is a disservice to your future patients, and people who use drugs in med school should be publicly castrated with a rusty spoon.

Hmm, I take it that you have ovaries. Pinot Noir in moderation does improve health and aids relaxation. Nothing wrong with a good glass of Pinot.

Wow, you only drink 3-4 nights a week? That's weak. I drank every single night. Most days, I was drinking during my tests. And I still got As. I would put my house on the line that I got better grades than you are getting now. Kids like you make me laugh. Come get me when you pass through puberty

get off your high horse...there is no evidence that people like you make better doctors, sorry to break it to you. In fact I'd tend to believe that people like you (maybe not you in particular just making a blanket statement as you did) are less sociable and lack many of the interpersonal skills as your "colleagues who should be castrated with a rusty spoon." Enjoy life up there I know it can get tough being so high above everybody
 
Whenever threads like this come up I always get very frustrated because I will never understand the preoccupation that "abstainers" have with people who indulge in alcohol/marijuana specifically (I don't condone any other drug use ever let alone in medical school). Some of the best doctors in the world will abuse alcohol/pot and some of the worst doctors may not even touch the stuff. Why dwell on it? First of all this OP is a schmuck...we all agree....but for the most part I never see threads talking about the people who "just study exercise and listen to music in medical school and are happy doing it, those bastards." You know why? Because no one really cares...if you are happy doing that, I'm amazingly happy for you, if you like to drink an smoke pot, again awesome for you. WHO CARES! Like I said before there is no evidence that A) these behaviors continue post medical school and B) it makes you a worse doctor

👍 I like it. We need more posters like you
 
how come people are associating "fratting" with the OP's desire to rage?

i'm offended.
 
I'm in college. I've partied more than the average kid. Never heard the term rage. Maybe me and my friends are douches? Idk. Just seems kinda stupid. "LETS RAGE TONIGHT GUYS. LETS GET F'ED UP". I mean I'm sure I've "raged" before. But I've never ever used that term.

+1

I have heard people say "partyin", "getting f***ed up", "wasted", "blasted", "destroyed", etc..
I never heard of "raging" until that one SDN's poster's thread about cheating on his NY moneybag.

Perhaps it is a new phrase that has caught on in the past year or two? Something born off Jersey Shore maybe?
 
I think the verb "to rage" comes from the noun, "rager."

Rager 👎 - A large gathering of fratdaddies and sorostitutes where massive amounts of fratwater are consumed

I've noticed this too. But then I thought about it, and thought about the "typical pre-meds" that would post on this site... and it makes sense, if you know what I mean.
 
I wasn't in a fraternity (even though they desperately wanted me. I would have given them street cred I guess... I had a fairly important role at my college) but generally every frat guy I came across was either a douche, or he was trying to hit on dudes around me, or he was getting drunk off one beer.
