LOL at premeds and girlfriends...
I asked a girl and she never spoke to me ever again.
--> she was premed.

I'm in recovery from addiction, so I don't drink at all. However, students at my school usually go out after exams (every two weeks-ish) or during a lighter block of classes.

I don't drink either. Though in my case it's as much due to family history as it is due to taste.

Getting drunk gets old after a while. The hangovers. The unfortunate things that get said. All of it.

Drinking moderately, now that's the ticket. Beer or two after a long day, delightful.

I never get drunk. I go to the club, have 2 long islands and a diluted shot. Gets me tipsy without any hangover.
To me the best feeling is tipsy, a little confused but I'm still 90% alert

I'm continuously drunk this month till my MCAT score comes in! haha

 

[Vvandenn]

I have a couple rum and cokes every night. I rarely get "drunk" but I do enjoy the tipsy feeling.

I was a huge boozer when I finally turned 21 (which was only several months ago, usually stopping at BevMo on my way home from work everyday for a 6-pack) but I've taken it down several notches. Nowadays my drinking is very sporadic; I might throw back a beer or two but it's usually once in a blue moon kinda thing.

Fun Fact: America loves being high.
Evidence: 1.2 million stores that sell alcohol.




Another Fun Fact: America has a war on recreational drugs.

I'll drink on the weekends if there is a party without a lot of frat boy idiots. there's a lot of squares on SDN though

Same. I feel like it'll soften the blow to my ego.

Anyway, during the school year I didn't really drink that often. Typically I'd only go out on a weekend when I didn't have much due the next week (which was like... once a month) so I'd go out a few nights in a row starting Thurs to take advantage of it, but most weekends I was pretty busy with schoolwork so I did a lot of dd'ing (and go back home to get some work done) or go out to the bars but just not drink. The most drinking I did during senior year was the week before my graduation where I basically went out every night. I was pretty hammered during the graduation commencement, fell asleep and got an earful from my parents about it.

Pre-med or not, you can find SOME time to relax. I was always pretty busy and when I had a break I was usually pretty tired and just wanted to relax and unwind, but my friends usually dragged me out, though I usually had a pretty good time.

Its really weird though, I barely ever drank during my junior year (except my 21st birthday, that was SO bad...) because I was so loaded down but my grades were terrible (ok, terrible by over-analytical pre-med standards, basically a ton of B's), but my senior year where I did get out more, my grades got a lot better even though I was super busy throughout.

Had a rough day today, and went straight for alcohol. I'm seeing the warning signs 🙁 now I gotta go find a drink

I drink quite a bit. In the beginning of the year I'd say 3-4 nights a week.. Once classes really pick up I cut back to usually 2 days but it depends on the week. I don't need to drink I just like to. Shoot me.

Senior year schedule:
1.No class until 1PM -
2.No class on Fridays
3. Two real classes interspersed with things such as "Beginning Acting" (a class that is an excuse to get drunk and play acting games)

I figure I should enjoy this year before s*** gets real in med school. I'd say 4-5 days a week easy

The weekend starts on Thursday and ends Saturday night. Coincidentally, the liquor store is also open.

As long as you're not doing it alone.

edit: I didn't read the first comment -- only looked at the poll. I never get drunk, only enjoy a craft beer or home brew daily.

I'm assuming that the question has to do with alcohol, otherwise I would have to say several times a day (water/soda). That said, since I'm not 21: NEVER!

 

[YouNeverKnow22]

I get drunk once or twice a semester. During the summer, when I am home, I'll have a glass of wine or shot of rum almost every night.

ironic considering your username

I quit drinking. Nothing will convince you to stop drinking like being a premed in a fraternity. I know that sounds so counter-intuitive, but in my fraternity there are excellent examples of people who drink and get nowhere and don't drink and excel in everything.

 

[FlowRate]

Might have a beer for dinner, but I only get drunk on very special occasions...

What about Tuesday? Or Sunday Fun-day?

And then there are those that drink and still excel at everything as well.... 🙄

 

[GH253]

I actually rushed my fraternity because of the senior class who would go out 3 nights/wk, graduated with 4.0's and crushed their MCATS. I tried that for a couple weeks sophomore year with cell biochem and orgo and realized how much I hated people who could do that haha
