How badly will binge drinking hurt my intelligence?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Since being accepted I've tried to take everyone's advice and cut loose, and I've probably cut a little too loose. Pretty much destroyed myself last night, as has been the case the past few weekends. I've poked around this internet and couldn't find much reliable info, so do any of you guys know if i'm doing any irreparable damage here? Just don't want to get to school next year and find myself unable to handle it. It's not like I've been drinking frequently, but when I have it's been a lot. I'm not trying to tell a story here about how much I've partied I am actually genuinely concerned.

Binge drinking will probably make you pretty stupid based on this thread...
 
I saw this bumped. I didn't read the entire thread. You're fine. You're doing what other college students do almost every night of the week. Be responsible. Don't drive. Don't get involved in drugs. Realize that when you start medical school your tolerance will drop (as armybound said) and you'll need to adjust accordingly.

Do you even know what you're talking about. You tell him to do alcohol but then tell him "don't get involved drugs"? As if alcohol isn't a drug? :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

How do people become so blind?

Yes, technically you are correct. But, most people in normal conversation, know what is meant by "drugs". Would it have made you feel better if he said "drink, just make sure that is the only drug you use"?

No, it wouldn't have made me feel better. I always find hypocritical alcohol drinkers very funny.

"Go ahead and drink every day or every week. It's ok. It's legal and everyone is doing it. But for fu6ks sake, do notsmoke a joint every now n then!! Don't take a hit of acid 5-6 times a year!! Are you trying to ruin your life?!?!"

Fair enough, dude. Maybe you should have a drink and relax or perhaps acid if that's your thing.

my biochem teacher told us to take the test in the same state we studied. meaning, she said, if we were tired when we studied don't get a lot of sleep before the test; if we were tipsy/drunk, make sure to not be sober.



i do some of by best thinking and writing while drinking. i think i'll bring a flask.
 
It wasn't too hard to keep Irish coffee in the locker I was given for my MCAT. I wouldn't have been able to do well otherwise.
